I realize the thread is about the trip but how's the treatment working out for you? How did you find out it was low?

It was about a year ago when I had some of the usual signs for a 55 year old male like not as much interest in sex but also some unexpected weight gain, lack of energy, elevated blood pressure. I usually see my urologist annually since my dad had prostate cancer and he suggested a blood test for testosterone. Sure enough it was very low.

So he prescribed this stuff. Overall it has had many positive effects. Probably the only negative is that it is a gel solution and you have to message it on to an area of muscle mass like chest/shoulder area or thighs (my preference) and it's kind of cool from the alcohol in it but it dries pretty fast.

Oh and it is expensive if you don't have insurance, about $900 a month for my dose but I get it for $15 copay!

I understand it's customary for an American to buy a round of drinks for all the Aussies, when you enter a bar. That's what they told me, anyway.

What, not those kinds of customs?
