Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Well I am knew to this group. Briefly I am a recoevering alcoholic addict 28 years clean and sober. Have always had treatment for Magor depression mostly with Antidepressant meds and Pyschotherapy. Around 5 years ago was diagnossed with sleep apnea, some other sleep disorders, very low vit D and Very low Testosterone, last summer at 28. Have been avoiding the patch due to warnings that it could make sleep apnea worse. Read recently that is no longer considered true. Still concerned about going on it for life since the body wil stop making it then. DHEA of 100mg a dayrasied me blood results to 40 not very much, but some. Wilkl be taking iodine and some other natural treatments first before next test. Anyone with adivce or similar expeirence? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Hi and Welcome, Yes your in the right place here it would help us if you could get a copy of your labs and post them. I would not do TRT until a huge amount of testing is done to figure out why your so low. Yes going on TRT is for life and that patch is old don't try it it leaves a sore rash that need HC creams to heal and you can't get the dam glue off. The Androgel or Testim are the best ways to start if you need it. Or shots most of us do shots. From your drinking problem you need to test your Estraidol levels. Here is some good reading for you about low T. and high E2. But if you figure out what is wrong and you can fix it your levels will come back up. DHEA will not make your T levels go up. http://www.griffinmedical.com/male_hormone_modulation_therapy.html Co-Moderator Phil > From: patrickldowney@... <patrickldowney@...> > Subject: DHEA Or Patch > > Date: Wednesday, March 16, 2011, 1:58 PM > Well I am knew to this group.
