Went to Doctor Today. Was Told I have Normal Test Levels but don't agree.

Listen to everyone that has chimed in trt may seem great, but it truly is not. I started trt at 30 due to painkillers lowering test to virtually nothing after prolonged back issues. Now that the surgery is done and my back is fixed I would give anything to go back to having natural test levels.

Look around your area for a new doc. Your problem may be just due to some extra stress.

Most here would disagree with your statement above. If you read enough of the stories on this forum, it would become apparent to you that TRT saved the sanity of many, the marriages of countless men, and the lives of many others. Just like you, I think everyone here would like to have their own bodies produce "natural" levels. But because of many reasons - stupid mistakes, bad doctors or just age - it just can't happen. TRT is the next best thing.

Extremely negative comment which is really not backed up by any medical research. That said, TRT is no panacea and will not fix all aspects of someones life. But with a properly tuned protocol you stand a much better chance. Regarding stress, yes it can impact test levels by increasing cortisol levels, but it would be a stretch for it to take someone down to almost nil test levels.
