Hello, I thought I should start my own thread to act as my "case file". Thanks to anyone that takes the time to read my info and give any advice. I really appreciate it.
Background: 42 year old caucasian, living in Canada, married with one child. I am 6'3", about 250 pounds, with a 46" waist at its widest point. Bodyfat around 32% according to my rinky-dink scale. I was prompted to see a doctor suspecting I had low T after gaining about 30 pounds in a single year, while at the same time watching my strength at the gym decline siginificantly. At the time I gained the weight, I was on two anti-depressants. I was very stressed at work, and having sleep problems, too. I was experiencing all of the classic Low T symptoms, like: fat gain, strength loss, depression/anxiety (hence the anti-depressants), foggy mind, absolutely horrible short term memory, grumpiness, no morning wood, weak hard ons and poor libido, etc., etc..
Quit my job in May, quit the anti-depressants, and hoped everything would clear up. When it didn't, I read a book on Low T, and made an appointment to have my labs done. Lab results confirmed lowish Free T, but it also indicated low T3. (I will post all lab results in a followup message.)
