Thanks, everyone! I'm gonna give it a go.

It's interesting because it seems the lower T has actually improved my running. However, I suspect that is due to a little less muscle mass and my appetite doesn't seem as intense.

Definitely don't want the osteoporosis. My Mom has osteopenia, so it's something to be concerned with.

This seems like a logical place for this post. I'm looking for some input from any runners on the board. I'm 50yo and was surgically castrated 14 years ago. Been on nothing for a while (not good), E and low E. For years now, I have been on a moderate level of T. However, I've recently switched to ...

Good to know. Argh, I swore off that T, now it's coming back to haunt me! 😠

You may be taking to much estrogen. Allot of the members report that they don't do well without HRT, and they also report that the levels of HRT the doctors wish them to take, they also have problems with. So you could reduce the amount of HRT you are taking and see how you feel.



I agree. I'm ...

Thanks for the response Charlene. I just wonder if that short-term memory loss is temporary. A couple of years, etc? The really odd thing is that off HRT, I felt more feminine. Or, at least more myself. I even told my doctor I felt more feminine and felt I looked better, smoother skin, etc. She told ...
