Diagnosed with low T -> Your advice on questions to ask?

[davepl]

I went to see my GP due to finally getting frustrated with fatigue, exercise intolerance, irritability, and a host of other symptoms. Long story short, I tested at 182 on a normal range of 300-1200 for my age (40).

My first question is, how low is that? Apparently women's normal range is 50-100, so I'm still more man than woman :-) But should I expect the low T to account for a lot of the symptoms at 182, or do you need to be really low for that?

Second question is: my doc is a great GP. But he's not an endo. At 230lbs, what would be the normal patch dose? 5, 7.5, or 10?

Also, any questions I should raise with him from people who have been down this road before would be very welcome!

That's low, even 350 is low IMO.
No idea on patches, but IM dose would be about 100-200mg per week.
