Hi,
   Your T level of 12 nmol/l appears to be Ok as it corresponds to around 340ng/dl. Your health issues may have some other reasons behind.I would advise you to do a thorough health check up, especially cardiac related, before planning any treatment.

Hi Barry, if your thinking DHEA you can get this either form Puritans Pride, thats if they send it to Canada, I know they have some funny rules for Canada, and cant remember if its an over the counter hormon that you just buy, unless you are near the US border as a lot of supermarkets sell it, and as for Tribulus its just a herb and again Puritains Pride sell it.
At he end of the dat its up to you.
Good Luck

Hi NOHARD,
                  Thanks for the info.I live in Canada and I've heard that some countries measure it a different way.It seems to me the drs don't want to put me on the injections because of the side effects.I'm going to keep asking to be put on it though because I think its too low.My energy level is very bad.I can't seem to do much without getting short of breath.

Hi Barry, look from what I know it should be around 650 to 670 and I dont how 12.2 works into these figures, but if you think yoiur testosterone is low you could boost it back up with some DHEA (a hormon)which I take for the same reason, it will boost you testosterone, lift your libido, and give your energy a kick, but please read up about if first, as it can have the add effect with the odd person, and you could back it up with some Tribulus, this is a herb and works along the same lines but takes 8 weeks to get to full power, the DHEA kicks in after a couple of days, start of low 25mg a day then build it up, me I take 50 mg first thing in the morning, and 25mg at night, both of these should help you to get things going again in your sex life.
Good Luck
