You guys that are on testosterone supplements be sure to get a PSA test on a regular basis as prostate cancer lives on testosterone. I am currently on hormone therapy for prostate cancer that reduces my testosterone and my PSA is currently 0.

Unfortunately, my libido is 0 too.

Yes, definitely. Even with adjustment problems I noticed an improvement almost at once.

I guess there's just something about being wiped out all the time that just doesn't do it for me.

Things have changed a lot, but way back when I was in school the rule at the women's dorms was lights out by 10:00, candles out by 11:00.

I'm there with Snoozin' Bluezzz, Limestone and ca_. It was one of the first changes I noticed after starting CPAP.

I think some of it is more rest = more energy and wakefulness but I also think there are lots of chemical and hormonal stuff that is supposed to be going on during certain sleep levels that gets missed for OSA folks of both chromosomes.

Funny how an old thread gets "picked up" now and again.

Gives me hope that an old guy may get picked up now and again.

Actually I am a mere 58, girls.
