A friend of mine recently wanted to share his experience in case he can help some guys who may be suffering from low testosterone (low T) without realizing it.

Hello Guys, Just wanted to pass along some info that changed my life for the better physically. About 12 years ago I started to become very fatigued. Not able to get up in the morning and walking around just basically feeling tired all the time. It got to the point were I almost fell asleep while driving about 2 years ago. I thought I might have diabeties so I ended up going to an Endocrine specialists to find out what was wrong.

It turns out after a complete blood test I did not have diabetes. I had very low testostereone. Doctor said my normal level for my age should be 220 and I was only 20. Doctor asked me If my mother smoked. Well she was a 2 pack a day person I told the doctor. It turns out they are finding that the pituitary gland can have problems regulating testoerone in males if the mother smokes. The doctor told me I had this condition all my life and didn’t recognize it until I stopped being atheletic every day. The symptoms gradually increased as I got older. (about 12 years ago)

Well, I went on a testosterone cream and have had my blood levels check every 6 months. I rub the cream on both shoulders down to the tricep once daily. My blood is at the normal level and I feel incredible. I have started running again over the last year (up to 5 miles a day) and feel great.

I acutally gave this info to two of my friends and one of them had the same exact issue. Just thought to pass this on. It’s my good deed for the year!! Just trying to help out. If you have symptoms like I did I suggest going to the doctor and specifically you want a blood for Low T when diabetes is first thought of.

One doctor replied that he has had many male patients begin testosterone treatment coincidentally while they were doing therapy/rehab. The change in them was significant and posititive from energy level to mood and attitude about life. Now if he sees a guy who just seems to have lost his spark he mentions to ask his GP about having his hormone levels checked if he hasn’t had it done already.

One person asked if the testosterone cream was helping muscle growth. The answer was, “it’s not really helping muscle growht. Doctor said I would get leaner and I have. I feel like I have alot more energy. I have been on it for two years. I haven’t seen muscle growtth. Just a hell of alot of energy. One thing I noticed is that I do not drink alot of coffee any more.”

Another person asked if the cream worked as a male enhancer. The answer was “Having a normal testoerone level is better then viagra if you get my drift. The way a specialist explained it too me unless you had a physical accident to your body. having a regular testoterone level is all you need for…well lasting longer and more often. I don’t think it makes you physcially bigger if that is what you mean by male enhancement.”

Finally, someone asked if there were any side effects from using the testosterone cream. The answer was “One thing is heighented awareness. The doctor said my prostate can enlage but that is one reason why i go for checkups every six months for last two years. I have not had this problem. Doctor told me any time you increse testoterone your prostate will enlarge but if you do not have much testoreone your prostate will be small. Its all relative he said.”
