    Have you read this: Low Testosterone Symptoms, Health Effects, and Testosterone Replacement "Low testosterone is defined as less than 300 nanograms per deciliter of blood. The symptoms of low testosterone include low sex drive, erectile dysfunction, mood problems, fatigue, and sleep disturbances. Of all men with below-normal testosterone levels, about one-half to two-thirds report symptoms."

    What did the Physician who interpreted your blood work tell you?

    He told me that he will look in to it as the testosterone was low.
    He told me it will take 8-10 weeks before he will get back to me on this.
    I only sleep for 1hour a night I have mood swings and head ace most days due to no sleep.
    Its not a good life right now I go for walks at 2-3 in the morning as I get so stressed not sleeping.
    I sleep down stairs as I keep my wife awake by getting up and down all night long.
    I have been this way for the past 2-3 years.

    My gosh! It's going to take him 8 to 10 weeks to get back to you?

    Sounds like a pretty unhappy way for you to live. I wonder if you would call the Doctor and ask for treatment sooner if that would work - ?

    I'm surprised - I realize Doctors are busy but this isn't a hangnail problem...

    It wouldn't be the doctor causing this delay, it would be the lab.
