Hello everyone. Over the past 6 months I’ve had decided to get properly in shape and had begun a routine work out and within the past 2 months specifically I’ve increased intensity, but always felt underperforming, tired and low motivation. A year or 2 ago I went to my family physician and talked to him about low energy levels, he ordered bloodwork and said nothing was wrong (of course he didn’t check for testosterone). Now for the past couple years (and perhaps longer) I had been feeling “wrong” in a sense, low energy being the main symptom that stuck out, but upon looking at the symptoms of low testosterone, they all seem to fit; so I decided to go back last month and specifically ask for a testosterone check, and of course it came back below the minimum. I’ve been depressed for probably over 10 years, and I’m wondering how much was misconstrued or detrimental for low testosterone.
Now I’m located in the shithole known as Canada, so it’s going to take 6 months for me to even step foot into an endocrinologists office (what a fucking joke). I also have a referral going out to a urologist who hasn’t reached back to me, but hopefully that appointment will come sooner than the Endo.
I’m expecting this to be a chronic issue, something that has been affecting me for a very long time that’s not easily changed, probably hypogonadism, but that’s just a guess.
A couple of questions:
- Any Canadians that can offer advice on how to speed up my process, will pay a decent amount if necessary.
- Will a urologist even be able to help me if I can see him sooner than the endo? Anything I should ask/suggest towards him?
- Will TRT boost my natural production, or am I going to have to run this shit for the rest of my life?
- Anything I can do to boost my shit outside of doctors? My diet is pretty healthy, and I’m still physically active despite a severe lack of motivation, energy and confidence.
Here’s my basic bloodwork my ass doctor had me run:
