Re: Annual Endo Mtg & ATM & Low T syndrome (Good book recommendation)

[Guest guest]

Just a two cents throw-in here; one of the docs mentioned in this message is

Abe Morgentaler.  The first substantive and truthful book I read on low T is

one written by him. 

Excellent book for those who A) wondering if their symptoms are from low T and

it's a great source of information that one can use to get their doctor to

understand that even though a person's blood tests may show " normal " , that

it's the symptoms that are what really matters.  I used information from the

book to convince my MD to prescribe T (I have now moved from that doc to working

with Dr. Crisler). 

Anyway... great book for guys in our situation (easy to read too).  The book is

" Testosterone For Life: ... " (longer title).  You can find it at Amazon at this

link:

http://www.amazon.com/Testosterone-Life-Recharge-Vitality-Overall/dp/0071494804/\

ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8 & s=books & qid=1274971157 & sr=8-1

Note there are 24 reviews of the book and they all love it (the rating shows 5

out of 5 stars based on the reviews).  That rating is what convinced me to buy

it.
