hi i,m graham58,i,m a white 55 year old male living in spain.it all started about a year ago,i was making love to my wife and i lost my wood,never happened before.have always had a high sex drive,never any problems in the past,no stress in my life,no drug use,nothing ,so i put it down to being tired or something nothing to worry about.a few weeks later it happened again,and it got worse,not only that but i noticed my sex drive was low,not interested in sex or even thinking about it.i have always been fairly fit ,i,m a builder by trade ,naturally strong and quite stocky,even though i,m only 5,8,,.i used to lift weights years ago,but i had,nt touched a weight in over 20 years.the beer and burgers had taken thier toll and i had gone up to over 17 stone.i thought it was time to sort my life out lose some weight,and get the testosterone levels up again.i joined a gym again changed my diet,fish ,chicken all good food,i lost 3 stone,i felt good about my new look,but i still had problems ,losing my erection and low sex drive.i had tried zinc,l,arginine ect but nothing helped.i went to see a doctor,had some blood tests done ,my level was about 250.he gave me 250mg of test e every four weeks,felt better at first,but as the weeks went by ,went back to the same problem,then got my jab felt good again,could get an erection and felt my lobido rise,but after the weeks pass lost my erections and sex drive,spoke to the doctor about raise my dose but he kept saying that was the maximum,and he did,nt like giving me that doe every 3 weeks.my testosterone levels were about the same as when i first started trt 250.i went away and did some research on trt,i found what he was doing i was getting peaks and lows with injections every 3 weeks,it had been about 9 months since i first started trt and nothing had improved,it had got worse ,i was not sleeping ,getting headaches and i was really grumpy,bit i never lacked energy,i went back to my doctor with my new info and managed to get 100mg every week,but nothing changed,the doctor had no answers for me and i seemed to know more than he did.so i decided to go on a cycle,iwas sure if i raised my test levels that would be the answer.i,m into my 5th week now i,m on 600mg of test e a week 2x300,i sleep well,no headaches,and i,m not grumpy any more,but i still have the same problem,no sex drive, my gains at the gym are going well,i,m on a 4 day a week split routine, i,m training hard,even at 55,i,m benching 4 sets of ten with 100kilos and leg pressing 4 sets of 20 with 200 kilos.i feel fine,when i have finished my 12 week cycle,i,m going to drop my shot to 100 mg a week for 3 months. i have no confidence in the doctors in spain they seem so far behind in time with trt.i have found a lab that will do my blood tests for me,so i can monitor myself.when i was into my second week of my cycle my test was 15,23nmol,l which is about 600 and my estrogen was 0,87ngml the doctor at the lab said those are fine.my question is does any one have any idea why i still have low lobido a erectile problems,thanks for reading graham58
