Posted with permission from the poster in Nelson's ******** group. I find all testimonials that I receive inspiring, but found this one particularly heartwarming. It's a reminder of the significance and importance of our area of medicine and what a difference we ALL (also members on the forums assisting people) make in people's lives.

I can say that my life has been changed by this board and most importantly
Defy. My first few posts here, it was pointed out that my anxiety could be perceived through the screen. I took that to mean A. I was in the right place because those here recognized that B. I had a real problem and C. That this could get better.
A few months on TRT and things changed majorly, so far it's been 10 months or so? There have been changes in my life that I would not have had the "balls" to make without TRT. Making a decision was nearly impossible, so the changes I've made recently, absolutely would not have happened prior to TRT. So not only did TRT improve my life, but these recent changes have literally changed my entire life,
Dr Saya knows what I'm talking about.
I was talking with a friend named Judy, and we both agreed that everyone has a role to play in how this kind of treatment can change lives, from the phone staff, payroll staff, nurses, all the way to the doctors. While most people think the doctor is the most important, it would not be possible to treat a patient without the staff, as who will schedule patients? Who will process their orders? Who will keep the lights on?
So this applies here, as I wouldn't have found
Defy without this forum, and maybe if less members told me how obvious my problem was, I wouldn't have taken it as seriously. Even the new members, don't think you don't count, we all were new at one point, and even if you don't know all of the physiology involved, you know the symptoms and suffering. Even being able to relate is a big deal.
So yeah, the depression, anxiety, lack of confidence, excessive urination, excessive thirst, ED, lack of vigor and passion, and indecisiveness are absolutely horrible. Truly, it was not a life, and if I had to go back to that I am not so sure I could. To have relief is insanely amazing.
