My brother just got a doctor to give him testosterone, even though his levels were "normal", they were on the low side. He can't believe how much better he feels now, he says he's like a new man.
Given that our levels are lowered by being on dialysis, what have you guys done to resolve this?

It is my utmost dream and desire to reach out to other kidney patients for them to know that they are not alone in this, also to reach out to those who one day have to go on dialysis though my book i am writing!

One can spend the day gazing at porn sites - remembering how it was done way back when.  That'll get your testosterone up, or something will go up.

Seemed funny at the time.
