This isn't Busse related, but I thought my fellow armchair warriors might benefit from this story.

I'm a young guy (31). In my early to mid 20's I was in awesome shape. I worked out daily, and loved camping, hiking, and martial arts. For the last three years, things have been very slowly going down hill. So slowly that I didn't even notice for the first few years. I slowly gained weight, lost energy, and eventually stopped doing anything. It's now 3 years later, I've gained 65 pounds, and had ZERO motivation. My wife eventually talked me into going to the doctor. I got my test results back a little over a week ago.

I have low testosterone. I was shocked. This isn't supposed to happen in your late 20's. It's supposed to happen in your late 30's or early 40's. My testosterone last time it was checked (25) was 793. Last weeks test showed it at 138. That's LOW.

I was prescribed testosterone injections, and took my first one immediately. It's now 9 days later, and I feel like a different man. I have SO MUCH ENERGY. I did my first real workout in over a year today, and it's absolutely awesome.

If you are feeling like I was, go to the doctor. One simple test and you might find your life changed for the better. I was embarrassed by this whole thing at first, but I figure I can afford a little embarrassment if it means other people get to experience being revitalized like this.

I have the day off tomorrow, so i think i'm going to take my AK47, and go hiking. Maybe make a few videos :)
 
Awesome man!! Glad to hear you figured it out!

Embaressed? Ahh eff that, you're a man, something got thrown in front of you and you overcame it, screw anyone who thinks otherwise!
 
so far, i have had nothing but awesome effects. Increased energy, increased sex drive (to kinda insane proportions)... i'm assuming there will be weight loss, but i haven't seen that much yet. Supposedly it also gives you increased mental acuity and focus.

The only real side effects i've heard of are acne and irritability. Haven't seen either of those yet.

A mans body is supposed to have a T-level of 500-800 naturally. If you have a lower T-level, you won't feel normal.
 
I'm happy about your recovery.
I've gained weight...but gluttony and deficiency of exercise are the reasons. :thumbdn:
 
I struggle with low T at times. It goes with my heart issues and fight to keep Diabetes away. Better living through chemistry. Good for you, it was great when I found out and got the fix.
 
That is so awesome that you are feeling better! It's great that you figured out the issue and did what you could to correct it.

Have fun on your hiking trip! :thumbup:
 
Glad you found the cause.

Noticed ya went for the AK47 vs a smaller blade. LMAO...
 
I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better! With all your new energy you're bound to lose weight, good luck with your journey. Have fun on your hike, I can't wait to see any pictures and videos that you share.
