I'm 42 years old college professor, 236lbs, and have been lifting for over 20 years. I noticed while on my first PH cycle that I felt much better than I had in many years (600mgs of 1AD, 600 mgs of 1,4 doil and 200 mgs of 1,4 dine).

For almost a decade now, I've been feeling very tired--like I have 1/2 or less of my normal engery. However, while on the above cycle I notice changes not only in engery, but in attidue (I was willing to accept tasks that were more challenging, physically and/or mentally, that I had been shying away from for 7 odd years now). Something that sleep studies, allergy medication, blood tests and a year of therapy could solve was addressed in one PH cycle.

Needless to say, it would appear I would make quite the canidate for HRT. However, it would seem to me if I need a 4 week PC after the above stack, then a 24/7 patch--or whatever treatment I opt for--would shut me down for the rest of my life, right? Needless to say, that idea bothers me.

(There are few things in this world I'm interested in trading my right testical for, let alone both of them ;-)

Have any of the older lifters here address this issues for themsevles? Are they're any threads/sites you could link me to?

I think this question runs far afield of the normal topics covered on this board. However, I've come to respect this forum, so I thought I'd ask here first.

Thanks.

If you're truly curious the best thing you can do is get tested. Although unless you find a very liberal doctor it's not generally prescribed unless you've been found to be hypogonadal. IOW if you're just in the low normal range you may be out of luck.
