Sounds great Maria. I will receive HRT treatment in a month for thyroid, adrenals and testosterone. Not sure whether how we will increase testosterone since I belive my lowish tesotserone was caused by SSRI's. Would prefer to try and kickstart the bodies own production. However we go about it, I as a male don't mind masculinaztion and look forward to any mental and psychial benefits. I certainly need them!
