I’ve been on the fence with this for a long time, but I am finally getting to the point where I want to take some action. I feel like I at minimum should get my T levels checked, and see what treatment options I have available. If anyone has a similar set of circumstances I would appreciate hearing how things have worked out for you.
Quick summary:
-44m – athletic build
-Despite lifting weights 4 x a week, running 3 x a week, and 90% clean/healthy diet, my energy remains very low with persistent brain fog. Morning wood is non existent anymore. Sex drive is low. No masturbation or porn. Erections during sex are weak even with blue aid.
I took accutane for bad acne about 20 years ago and I have suspicions that it did some sort of irreparable damage to my system, but I’d still like to see if there’s anything I can do at this point. Based on what I’ve read I think I may be a candidate for low T testing and/or treatment. I do have major concerns about any potential side effects, and also having to take the treatment for the rest of my life, although what I’ve got going on now isn’t working.
I currently have no health insurance which will probably make all of the testing and/or treatment that much more challenging, but I feel like I’ve reached a point that I need to get some help with this.
