Finally after Brian's advice I'd asked for blood work including my testosterone levels...I came back at less then half of the low end of normal (123, normal range is 260-1100) and the dr's put me on Androderm. Since then my energy levels have been much improved although I believe that the HBO tx were helpful there as well.

I did think that the steroids would boost my sex drive however I still can't seem to get out of Park in that car...hoping that corrects soon.

Eric, I bet if there was a way to not think aout it and thn worry when you and your wife are in bed,, that the car would not only start, but go extra fast for a few laps around the track. LOL then after awhile a restart maybe? Might need a pit stop after the fast laps tho. LOL
