New to site...diagnosed with depression...now thinking low T
I am a 56 year old retired/visually impaired teacher who is being treated for depression. The meds I'm on don't do much or anything for that matter. 2 years ago I had blood work for low T and the number was 390. My doctor said that was on the low side but did not want to treat me for fear of testicular cancer. I trusted him and went on with my slowly worsening depression. Now, after much research about low T, I seem to have every single symptom except obesity. I am fatigued to the point where I don't want to get out of bed. When I do get out of bed I don't want to face another day of not feeling like my old self. I was always the life of the party and now I don't want to go to the party. At this point, I guess I'm probably preaching to the choir. This past week I went back to my doctor and showed him several articles about how low T can can cause major depression. He agreed to have my blood checked again and now my number is 490. He told me that 750ish would be a good number IF he could persuade the insurance company (United Health) to pay for Androgel. Have any of you run into this problem? And if so, do you have any suggestions. I'm just sick and tired of feeling sick and tired. Thanks in advance for any help.
