Nutrition, hydration rest, and recovery takes a long time. You will see that repeated a million times on OCF, because its true of course. I knew that, but knowing that doesn't prepare you for the painfully slow progress. It seems like you're not getting anywhere. Certainly not day to day or even week to week. Month to month you might notice a difference. 8 months post treatment I am still not 100%, still on a variety of medication and still not back to full time at work. I figure I am maybe 80-90% of what I expect to be the "new normal" people speak of.

I would recommend going through the medical stuff for checking the testosterone, thyroid etc, as well as the nutrition, hydration, sleep patterns and toileting. Once you tick those boxes what you are left with is they way it is. Not much else can be done about it, but it can cause a lot of angst thinking you haven't done something or that this is somehow abnormal. Tick those boxes, and he's as normal as he's going to be for a fair while.

Being calm about the lack of progress was a big challenge for me and it still is. Seeing a psychologist is a good idea if he has any anxiety/depression to deal with, as many of us have.
