I just fond this site and it looks like a lot of helpful information.
I am a 31 year old male in decent, not great, shape. I go to the gym and left several times a week but I do not have much in the way of gains. I used to run 3 miles per day and do sprints daily but I am recovering from torn ligaments and bone bruising in my foot and ankle.
I suffer from low sex drive (especially compared to my 22 year old wife), erectile dysfunction, lack of motivation, foggy mind, and low temperatures. I only have one testicle, I lost the other when I was 14 from a kick to the groin. Doctors surgically removed the testicle as they feared the immune system would damage the remaining one if the damaged one was left in there.
From what I have read so far it sounds like the doctor should run some more tests, like free testosterone E2 ect., before I start the 100 mg per week of testosterone cypionate he prescribed me. Am I correct in my thinking?
My temperatures have averaged 96.1 waking, 97.2 afternoon, and 96.6 at bedtime over the last week. I use iodized salt at home, but I eat out often as I am always on the road at work.
