What happens if your worst fear comes true -- TEST shutdown!?

[DigitalGorilla]

Ok --- so Im curious....for those who have shut down their natural TEST -- then what? What does that mean long term? Something like Androgel? Just wondering...and im bored at work.... lol

[DigitalGorilla]

Also --- how does it happen with out AAS? I have a friend that has never touched a steroid - yet at 34 found out he had no natty test....how does that happen usually?

[The Titan99]

That's not even close to my worse fear. How about this... Shut down w/cancer so can't take AAS to correct it? How's that play out in your mind...

Here's another one. Complete shutdown followed by being wrongfully (or rightfully) incarcerated in a Max security prison... What happens there?

I got a few more if you want to stay up late thinking about what if.... I know people who do that...lol.

[DigitalGorilla]

lol ok but -- lets say its ONE of your fears. lol What happens? You just have to take test the rest of your life?

Had two best friends go away.....DEPRESSION DEPRESSION DEPRESSION, really bad for the first 3-4 months. Imagen a conflict with Iran and Israel, we reluctantly get involved...War continues to escalate with our involvement. Iran next year will the 2nd largest importer of crude oil to the Chinese. Trade relationships are hindered with the Chinese for a period of time due to politics and them not being satisfied with our involvement with regional conflict. None of us get our gear because both the Domestic UGL's and Western Europe UGL's can not get their compound. Now THAT WOULD SUCK!!!

[DigitalGorilla]

hahaha wow --- late night threads are so much deeper than day time ones !l lol



But anyone wanna tell me about the TEST SHUT DOWN lol?

[The Titan99]

lol ok but -- lets say its ONE of your fears. lol What happens? You just have to take test the rest of your life?

Yea. I do and it's the best thing to happen to me in 15 years.

[DigitalGorilla]

thats what I was thinking ....why are people so stressed about shuttting their test down?

[DigitalGorilla]

my friend has to take Androgel...but he pays like 40 a month for it...so if thats the only downfall...then - i dont see a downfall ? lol

[Gi812Many]

Yea. I do and it's the best thing to happen to me in 15 years.

Have to agree with that....Should have taking TRT along time ago. It truly has changed my life, only in positive ways. And yes I think my scenario was the SHIT!

Can you guys explain? Also - are there any other drawbacks? Im 34....my test wasnt good to begin with. Yet everyone is always talking about DONTSHUT YOUR TEST DOWN yada yada.... so -- it sounds like i shouldnt be worried?

You definitely need to be aware what "The rest of your life" entails. Read up in the HRT section.

Im not saying I want it ....I just want to know if there is a reason to be so scared of it

move to thailand, problem solved.

[DigitalGorilla]

Totally off subject.....its kind of crazy to be talkin to people from so many different places..... Ive never been out of the U.S. so to imagine what its like in Thailand -- thats crazy to me lol

[The Titan99]

I've lived here 13 years and it still seems crazy to me too!!!

[kmms]

i've been here more than 10 years and have lived outside of the US for half my life. i don't even want to imagine moving back to the states, that's crazy to me.

[kmms]

I've lived here 13 years and it still seems crazy to me too!!!

nice man. are you in the north or south?

[MuscleInk]

I've lived here 13 years and it still seems crazy to me too!!!

I want to visit the girls in Thailand!

[DigitalGorilla]

It sucks here in the states..... especially where I am in NYC --- dont get me wrong we have our good points - but for the most part the states are in bad shape! I would love to move to another country but couldnt even imagine it ....what made you guys move? Work? and whats it like there? Everything but the US seems like a jungle to me lol

if i wasn't in thailand i'd only be on another small tropical island somewhere else. spent years in the caribbean and wanted something different. i don't need someone like bloomberg telling me what size soft drink is ok for me. i don't even drink soft drinks but when society has reached that point, i'm out. thai girls are the best. plenty of wicked ones and there's some bad ones too. i don't have cardio days and i don't use the elliptical anymore, they keep me pretty damn busy.

Low test levels are not as uncommon as some might think even when you're in your 30's. Most men will reach their peak test levels around the age of 25. From there they typically begin a gradual decline, normally very gradually. This decline normally starts to speed up a great deal in your 40's and by your 50's levels really start dropping. Obviously there are exceptions. There are guys who won't have a significant dip as fast as others, and then there are those who will have it in their 30's.

There are numerous factors that can lead to a low level condition but the primary cause is simply age. At some point in time, and the time can vary for most, most men could benefit from TRT therapy.

I might be reading your post wrong. All of those are some horrible scenarios but AAS is given to cancer patients. Not always but it's not all that uncommon either. Obviously it's not going to be given to someone with prostate issues though.

nice man. are you in the north or south?

I'm in Koh Tao. How about you?

My house is on the south east top of the hill. I can see Samui when it's clear. Just out of the frame to the right. I get over there quite a lot. Is that you in your Avi?

[ickythump]

Is it possible to annihilate your natural t production with first use, whether it be your bad luck, inability to use AAS, or, idk maybe bad product?? Or is this usually a long term use specific condition

Exactly this ^^^. It's no free ride. There are issues and consequences to this. Yes, it's a lifesaver and I'd be lost without TRT but I'd give anything not to need it. What put me in that world was a pituitary tumor. It sucks when you get a physical and your doc looks at you and says, and I quote: "we need you to get an MRI of your brain as we think you may have a tumor." Kinda knocks the wind out of you for a bit. Then when the MRI confirms it while your 8 yr old son is sitting there with you, it really sucks big time. So don't hope for it. It will come along soon enough naturally.
