Thank you! A straight-forward answer! …Its like pulling teeth!

That said, MOST 67 year old men have other comorbities that COULD affect TRT. So as I said earlier no one can really answer that question responsibly because the answer needs to be specific for the 67 year old. Some 67 year olds will need to be concerned and some will not…depends on their other health issues.

See, this is where the problem is! The ASSUMPTION that i will neglect doing BW and a thorough test and start administering TRT on my dad! Even though i made it very clear from the beginning that he IS going to go to the doctor and do a blood test BEFORE TRT. That means if all is well and if the only issue is low test… then he will start with TRT.
Thats why i said…UNDERSTAND the question first before answering it.
I am asking this question to gain knowledge and to save time.
Let’s say he does BW tomorrow and everything turns out to be OK and its only that he has low test…hence a healthy 67 y/o.
then i will have to come here and ask the same question “are there any extra precautions that a 67 y/o should take when running TRT?” And then you will say it depends, then i will post up the BW, then you will say what you are saying now…“a healthy 67 year old who only has low T has no special precautions”, then i will have to research more.
Whereas, if i got the answer now, later on when he gets the results and all is well…i would be a little ahead knowledge wise.
You are assuming stuff i did not say.
Wouldnt it have been way more productive to say “let him do BW and if all is well and its only low test than follow the usual TRT protocol here. Post his results up here anyway for us to comment. BUT if something is off in his blood test results, post it up here and we will see how to proceed”
Really, Wouldnt that have been more productive and way more intelligent to say than…for instance… "suck on the Dr. Crisler tit??
Could have saved 6 days by a simple answer like that!
Anyway…Thanks for your answer again.
