"dry orgasm"...certainly isn't a cure

A treatment that could save lives. As it did mine. Please consider this next time posting. Thanks.

SEVERE side effects may occur when using Testosterone Patch:
When you say your T was low...do you mean close to lower normal range or below lower normal range?
I have another question for everyone - does anyone experience "derealization" during a POIS episode?
Below, from a previous post of mine, are the results of some free-T results after wearing T-patches for 6 weeks. I have more recent results, which to me aren't important because the patches are working very nicely on my POIS.SOME TESTOSTERONE TESTINGSomeone here asked me privately for my "free testosterone" testing results (much more was tested), so I thought I'd post it in case anyone else is interested:Before POIS treatment:(December 2, '08) reference range%FREE T 1.47 % 1.5 - 2.2FREE T 24.4 pg/mL 35 - 155After POIS treatment:(March 2, '09 after about 6 weeks of wearing T-patches)%FREE T 1.45 % 1.5 - 2.2FREE T 37.0 pg/mL 35 - 155Free T jumped 50%, from 24.4 to 37.0.Endocrinologist expects the numbers to keep increasing through June. If they don't, he'll switch me from Androderm T-patches 10mg daily to a pump gel to increase my testosterone.My endo, who has a very good reputation in the field, agreed with my theory, that even when the T-patches brought me into normal T range and I saw improvement, a 50% increase in T-patches would help POIS dramatically and it did.

A sense that everything real seems fake? Or a sense that "I" am outside of reality? Or a sense of confusion - cannot grasp what is really going on around me? A sense that I am not the "real me" anymore? What would be a simple definition? Would the "real" definition please stand up (drum roll)...
Throughout all the years that I've had POIS it has changed a lot. The most notable change is that I have a lot less brain fog. I think this happened after taking relora. After my brainfog-less POIS episode while on relora, I haven't had the same brain fog that I always had. When I say brain fog, I'm referring mostly to derealization. This "brain fog", to me, was like an actual "pseudo-physical" thing, like an actual fog in my head, not just a loss of concentration. It is the thing that would make me pick up an actual physical object and say "Is this real?", "Is this actually there?". I felt entirely detached from the world around me, like i couldn't reach out and touch someone. That doesn't happen anymore, but I think it has kind of screwed up my gauge of what is normal. Now out of POIS I don't know if I have just a little brainfog, or If that's just "baseline" for me. Things aren't completely clear, visually, to me, even out of POIS. The question I ask myself when holding an object now is "How close am I supposed to feel to this?"

Would the "real" definition please stand up (drum roll)...Derealization was one of my strongest symptoms, that was, before I took relora. To be clear, I took it for a period of time, stopped taking it, an still don't experience it. For me, derealization is synonymous with "brain fog", but not with lack of concentration or even confusion.For me, it is the isolated symptom of really feeling like you're in a fog. Some people describe is as having a veil covering their eyes or being behind a permanent pane of glass. I describe it as being completely detatched from the world around you, perhaps even your own body.Here's an old post of mine that will help, I hope.Quote from: Dean93 on 15/09/2009 21:19:11Throughout all the years that I've had POIS it has changed a lot.

EDS, how does the supplemented T continue to work for you? At the same success as before, better, or worst? Thanks!
