How would you know if you are low or if it's something else like stress or losing attraction to your spouse?

Guy at work said he felt tired and beat down no matter what. Tried a new diet and excercise and it only helped a little. Doctor put him on some medication to help him be alert and that didn’t help. Finally got bloodwork and was crazy low. Now he’s a jacked old guy with a sweet beard.

I see that your hands are as chaffed as your dick.

Calm down with the single handed internet browsing bro.
They’re scars, one on the thumb is from a guy biting me while I whipped him into a knee. Index finger is from flipping with a ka bar.Rest are callouses from working in the moving business.

Most docs replace test wrong in my experience due to patient pressure, which leads to supra therapeutic replacement...so now you're just doing steroids. If that's your goal, lots of literature on gaming the system and docs not testing the right way or monitoring right. I don't recommend it.

The appropriate diagnosis is symptoms + three AM test draws in a patient that is not trying to game the system.


Sleep normal and keep your AM carbs minimal or even better fasting. Then have your doc measure your test levels 2-3 times first visit of the day (8-10am).

That sounds like a natural process of aging.
Shouldn't we accept that and not medicate ourselves to recapture our youth?

Is doing steroids stranger than LARPing a Korean woman on various MMA forums?
Not sure what larping means but this idea that "I don't feel the same as I used to, I better try to feel like I did when I was at my prime or something is wrong" is kind of a ageist notion. You're getting older you're not going to feel or function as you used to. That's normal.

My pecker isn’t like it used to be. It’s changing colour and seems to be getting hairier with age. I might try some steroids and opioids.

I'l take "Things A Guy With a Small Wang Would Say" for $200, Alex.
not as good as the apocalypse joke but still funny

I meant it is often about energy level and metabolism, not that Banchan was actually asking
