I really like this type of video. Very few TH-camrs let viewers know about their life like you do. Hope you continue to have a good experience with the treatment.
Drift0r... I've heard the OTC Test booster is placebo, mostly. I'd get a scrip for the "big boy" Test. You might see the weight gain issue go away. IMO
Man, you honestly don't have anything to be embarrassed about. It's literally just an imbalance in your body. Not something you can control. Thanks for sharing driftor, I respect you for that. Have a great rest of your year and happy Thanksgiving (from Canada).
FYI Drift0r nothing is embarrassing about health issues no matter what they are. Had a family member in their late 20’s early 30’s that had significant Low T and exhibited very comparable symptoms and had to go on hormone therapy. Not a big thing at all it’s actually fairly common and is increasingly happening to younger and younger males.
Qwerty Bastard - no doubt got some bizarre behaviors in society theses days, but I guess what people do behind closed doors is their business. But you are seeing the portrayal of this behavior / submissive act filter into mainstream society. I am not judge nor jury but I just don’t understand some of these people and their behaviors, but I guess different strokes for different folks!
I think I'm in the same boat as you. I am following your advice and get checked. Thanks for sharing. You should never feel ashamed for talking about things like this. Our culture is screwed up.
Get well soon. Ive not even watched for content, at this point youre just a cool dude so i keep up on your yt. Get well soon man, life throws curveballs
Hey Drift, just over a year ago I found out I had the same thing. Although mine was caused by a tumor that sits directly on top of my pituitary gland. I had the exact same symptoms as you. I'm here to tell you dont need to be embarrassed. I've been on meds for a year now and I'm completely changed, for the better. Keep your chin up, get the treatment you need and you will be feeling 100% in about a month or less. Stay strong man. I'm 34 btw.
@@christineencrypt3892 the MRI revealed that it is very very small. I'm on medications to help keep it in check I guess. I had another MRI a month ago and the tumor hasnt grown at all in a years time. From what my doctor has said it doesn't need to be removed. So I'm lucky I guess.
Is it possible to raise your testosterone with supplements bought over the counter? I don’t have insurance and for a while now I’ve suspected my testosterone levels are low. What exactly does the doctor prescribe you?
@@Rudyshotcha well there is a natural way of sorts to raise it. But it depends on how your built I guess. If you have some weight on you, you could try losing it. That helps raise it naturally, also working out helps raise it as well.
@@Rudyshotcha as far as what is prescribed, the testosterone replacement therapy can come in a few forms. Injection, this is done either once a week or twice a week depending. A sort of pill thing that the doctor would put under the skin and it slowly releases over the course of a month. Or Gel, which is applied once daily to your shoulders, if needed also on your thighs.
(Sgt. Doom) I wouldn't say "all." These problems are not evolutionarily beneficial. What may be causing you to say such a thing is the availability bias and base rate fallacy. It's easy to think of people with medical problems, so you incorrectly say there's more than there actually is. While diabetes and mental health issues, for example, are becoming more prevalent, it's not like the entire US population has it. Even if 20% of our population were afflicted, they're still a minority (a rather staggeringly large minority). But I do agree with your basic premise: we are getting sick more often. (It's also very possible medicine is getting better at diagnosing and the prevalence rate did not significantly change.) Edit1: "was" changed to "were"
Honestly I've been having issues lately and I fit the bill for almost exactly how you described yourself i think I'm gonna set up an appointment thx for the video drift0r
Andrew Kennelley i have some questions man. I think I have the same thing and I was wondering if you could tell me what you're going to tell the doctor or tell me how he's going to respond
I'm studying the hormon system in biological psychology at the moment and was thinking about your problem. Testosteron is not only produced in the gonads, but in the adrenal aswell, and because your sexdrive is okay it's very likely that it's the adrenal that maybe stopped producing testosteron, espacially because the result was even lower on the second test. I don't know if you had problems with your kidneys or adrenal before that could have caused them to stop producing, but you should maybe check them, so they can excite the adrenal to start producing again and you don't need to depent on pills. I haven't completed my degree yet and I'm not studying a medical degree, so I could be wrong, but I didn't want to keep that idea inside of me, if it could potentially help you...
I’ve experienced some similar symptoms and I think i’m going to have a check up soon, appreciate your honesty and keep your head up man a lot of us go through stuff and it takes confidence to speak about something you aren’t 100% comfortable with. Not everyone is toxic, i’m sure other people watched this and could relate in different ways. Good on you for spreading awareness & being honest with your audience.
Drift0r don't just do cardio, pick up some weights you'll love yourself in the future, the increased test should make muscle building much easier for you
Nnumber1(psn) aka Legit_s_1337 or people who want to look shredded instead of having vague muscle definition and have their bodies be useful and not be some guy who has a ton of muscle but is huffing and puffing from a single sprint.
Nnumber1(psn) aka Legit_s_1337 buddy I can 100% guarantee you I lift. I just misunderstood you, I thought you meant doing cardio (even if along with weightlifting) makes you a soy boy.
Nnumber1(psn) aka Legit_s_1337 also your statement about doing no cardio and being shredded is false. You can do no cardio and have visible defined muscles but you won’t be shredded, there’s a difference.
Thanks for opening up, Drift0r. I, myself, suffering from intrusive thoughts which is a symptom of mild Tourette's, the OCD side. I get hyperfocused on embarrassing thoughts, angry thoughts, etc. Through cognitive behavioral therapy and a medication, I've learned to move past it although it's ever present in the background. Good luck with your rehabilitation.
Hey Drift, kinda late to the vid here, but I'm a longish time fan, and I just have to say that I have high respect for you, for what it's worth. I think that it's amazing that 1. You had the determination and humility to seek out help 2. You're willing to be vulnerable to a huge amount of people, whom many will support, but a vocal minority will be dicks to you 3. You're willing to accept all the flak that you'll be getting to help someone out I'm really glad that someone like you is using their platform to help people out. As for your reputation, I honestly think this helps enforce that you're a genuine dude. Some people will be judgemental, but I think those are the people you don't want in your community in the first place. Not sure if you or anyone will ever read this, but I thought it was worth a shot at hopefully putting a smile on your face :)
Hi DriftOr, For the last six months I have watched with great interest almost all your COD WW2 videos and I want to congratulate you for the proffesional job you do, it helped me a lot in the way I play. I do not know how you were before this period but you seemed to me a very natural and balanced guy, so I can't comment about the changes you talked. But as being a doctor I can comment saying that you shouldn't be embarrassed about any medical condition as it is not your decision or desire to suffer of it and I trully respect your decision to talk about it. As you said, even if only one of your fallowners will benefit from this video, it will be an extraordinary thing. An the other hand you are somehow a public person and admitting your problems, medical or not, makes you a more natural and respectable one. I wish your medical problems to be solved and to be able to continue your wonderful job. Best wishes from Romania, Konashu
Dam you pretty much described how I act and feel like. Maybe I might actually have this. Anyway I hope you get better and your results come out good. Your such a good person and you definitely don't deserve what has happend in your life and, especially, this past year. Keep doing what makes you happy and remember that we, your loyal fans, will support you no matter what! :)
Health problems should never be embarrassing dude. I have severe allergies and can’t eat most foods which means I never get to go and eat with friends. My father also has low testosterone but he’s taking hormone replacements and they have completely changed his life for the better. I’m just happy that you will start feeling better now. Love watching everything you do!
I hope you continue to feel better as i know how mental health problems have affected me over time i take meds to cope with this and overall i hope these down side effects don't hinder you going forward
I have hyperacusis as well, Driftor. Even mildly loud sounds are painful to my ears, I ask my peers if these sounds hurt them to and most say no. Sudden noises also frighten me, even if they are relatively quiet. I've had ear disease though which is probably related.
I'm on the autism spectrum and I'm sensitive to sound as well. Its really awful that millions of people are sensitive to sound. I hope you'll be okay tho
I was really obsessed with my hearing for a while and have tinnitus from a certain rave I went to. Anyway the more I o sensed the worse it got. I couldn’t even do dishes at one point because of the clanging of ceramic. Just maybe to offer some hope that it can get better.
Hey man, I've been watching you for years. To see you be so open and honest is inspiring. My own issues were getting out of hand and I finally went for a check up. I was extremely nervous for many reasons. Long story short, I'm now diagnosed as depressed and have been put on Sertraline, the generic Zoloft. I was only prescribed 5mg a day but I've yet to see a difference. Being open about "invisible" issues can be scary or embarrassing but it's important. I applaud you.
Its funny, nearly all the issues you described is pretty much how I am on a daily basis. Its been going on for a while in my life, though my family hadn't had the money to get me checked out until very recently, and it turns out that my problem is exactly opposite to yours. Yes, my testosterone levels are almost 3 times greater than a fully grown man. I'm currently 19 years old, and pretty much fully bald because of this, but I've tried my hardest in life to suppress these feelings because I know it just negatively affects everyone around me. I'm so happy that you came out with this video Brad, and I'm 100% sure some people will take this video as a word of advice to get themselves checked as well.
Thank you Drift0r. Thank you for being honest. Thank you for being open. Thank you for putting yourself out there knowing full well the potential repercussions to try to help someone.. that's exceptionally Alpha of you.
Hey man, it's really brave of you to talk about private stuff on here. Really enlightening as well. I'm currently getting my doctor's degree in psychology and the whole testosterone thing would've blown over my head if I were to receive someone at the clinic with your criteria. Thank you very much for sharing your story. It actually helps me out a lot and educated me in a way. Hope you get everything sorted out and get your quality of life back as you need it to be.
I am 7.5 months off a Xanax cold turkey. Most horrible experience of my life. Severe anxiety, panic, rage, DP/DR, sensitivity to light, fear of everything, insomnia, exhaustion, over stimulation, horrible horrible horrible. I feel for you. I
tZ Tsikuni thank you bro, that means a lot. It’s hard to put into words what this process has been like, and didn’t have a clue what I was in for. But I’m very happy I’m sober. I’m happy for your father, 4 years is an amazing thing. 🙏
Props Drift0t, I always enjoy when you talk about stuff like this. Not that you have to go through it but that you will connect on some level with someone who is going through the same thing and get help.
Nobody knows this besides my parents, but I have low testosterone as well, at 29 years of age. I was diagnosed several years ago. Apparently, it is genetic because my dad has had low t since his 20s. It really is an embarrassing condition. The doctors first put me on Androgel, but now I'm on Clomid.
@drift0r I'm 32 and just got checked the other day and mine was 320 ng, which is the same as an 80 year old man like you stated. I've had symptoms of horrible fatigue for 5 years at least which is what prompted the test. I was scared out of taking testosterone injections due to all the bad side effects (infertility, cancer, etc), but I just researched Clomid and seems like it has none of those bad side effects. Do you feel like its working well for you or have you noticed any downsides in taking it?
I've done research for years and I almost never read about genetic causing it except for malfunctioning pituitary gland, is that it? You should be furious, clomid is Not Testosterone, its a SERM that lowers the amount of estrogen that your brain sees in the blood so it creams louder to your testis to produce more T. At least Androgel IS TRT but its a lot worse than injections.
Hey man thanks for speaking out. I just got diagnosed with INSANELY low testosterone too. I was also told they’ve never seen anyone my age so low. I just started the shots but I wanted to thank you for talking about an issue most younger guys don’t even consider. It takes balls to want to help others by talking about your health. I hope you continue to get better!
Great video. Really appreciate you normalizing a conversation that's difficult but important to have. Also helped me realize that I'm not alone in embarrassing ill health. Also, I'm not sure if you already know this or not, but testosterone is complicated and far from the public simplification of the 'male/aggression hormone'. Research is sometimes inconclusive, but the general gist is that, much like alcohol, is only makes you aggressive if you think it does (or if your predisposed to be aggressive, though that's another conversation that includes social learning). Bottom line, testosterone does a lot of things. Also hair growth has more to do with androgen receptors that circulating androgens, hence why the increased testosterone increased hair growth where the ARs already were. Thanks again Drift.
Oh my god, thank you so much. A few months back I had some very similar symptoms and I thought that it was just natural. Eventually I bought some very expensive computer parts just to prove an argument over the internet, then broke them when I realized that I didn’t know how to build it. I realized something was wrong, so I went to a doctor. He said that it was low testosterone. My life has been far more stable ever since
Been following you for a couple years now. Nice to see that you can put a finger on your problems and that you are getting better. I don't watch your video anymore but the personal ones. Keep it up mate!
I've got a lot of similar symptoms, and it's a problem I haven't been able to solve. Maybe I'll have to look into this. I definitely noticed some of that rage in your streams (damn those sound settings). Keep us updated on your progress. I'm guessing you omitted discussing the exact drug you are taking on purpose, but if not, what are you taking?
Zero health problems are embarrassing bro. It's just a fact of life that we all will encounter some sort of health issues. Those who make fun of you for it are just people going through their own health issues, most likely mental. Try to not take anything personal and remind yourself life is short so be happy!
Drift, you're the man for sharing your experience. I ran through med school notes, articles and all that jazz, but I can't really find a reason for low T to get you stressed and angrier. But like you've said, we're all different and our bodies react differently to the same situations. Good on you that you at least found an understanding physician, and the all the best to you and your wife!
You should definitely THANK YOUR WIFE. Take her out and shower her. Thank her. Living with someone who has mental issues is not very fun. (I'm sure you know because you have family history) You're very lucky to have someone who can put up with your issues.
You worded this about as poorly as possible. Yes the wife should be appreciated, but not for “putting up with his issues” simply for being supportive and there for him if that’s what she has been.
Appreciate the honesty Drift0r you've gotten me through so much with your videos I'd love to know you in person to help even more, all I can do where I am is support you and even through the unusual behavior I've seen recently never unsubbed or lost faith, glad you found something that helped you hope the re-test further proves that it's working!
My man. You are an amazing role model for anyone that comes across a video of yours. You are honorable, forthcoming and personable. You have brought so many different issues outside of gaming to your channel that most wouldnt dare to bring up. You sir are a man that has made the world a much better place. I can only imagine how difficult some of these videos are to make but I hope you continue to make them. Although some of these philosophical and real world issues dont apply to every person that watches, every person can take something from these videos and self reflect to improve themselves. Thank you.
Hey driftor, fellow eight thoughts fan here, I watched the stream yesterday and it really showed me a new face of yours I’ve never seen before. It’s fine if you have this problem, I support you all the way.
DUDE! I rarely leave comments on people's videos, but this one is great. I hope you know that it doesn't matter to your loved ones and to your fanbase what changes you are going through. Because we all are. And the only thing that matters is your truthfulness to yourself, and I'm glad you shared that with me. Thank you.
Hey drift! I was on one of your fortnite streams a few months ago as a fortnite player, and you built a 1x1 fort for yourself towards the end of the match we won and i kind of ruined it, you seemed to lash out and i felt really really bad. Now i know it's not really your fault, but i still wanted to apologize for royally screwing up.
I love when you post these types of videos. Men do not talk about their health as much as they should. You talking about your Zoloft helped me to get the help I need for my mental illnesses. Low T is a very big problem for men, hopefully this will help people like your Zoloft video helped me.
Yeah im unsubscribing after this because he's being so click-baity with this video he should just tell us from the start or better yet put it in the video title... smh
Hope all is well soon. I definitely know the feeling. Many hate to admit this type of depression order and no is one perfect. You’ll get better keep yourself off social media time to time. Hard to do obviously for your business type of direction. You have a loving a wife and family and they’re for you. There’s time that the certain medication you are on doesn’t always do the fix while getting older with age and as your brain tries fixiate while getting up there in age. If you ever feel like to talk more about it just inbox me if you’re up to it. Either way I re subbed not too long ago cause miss your input on games and so on. Miss the call of duty ones more than many might most than others. Just keep yourself up in spirits more than you can think of.
Dude there's no shame in having health problems of any kind. I'm glad that you've found a treatment that seems to be working. You seem like a really awesome guy and I really enjoy your channel, keep it up!
I wish nothing but the best for you Sir, thank you for sharing something so personal. I don't think it's anything to be embarrassed about but I'm not you so I hope you know people support you and are here for you. I've always loved your vids and the comprehensive information that you share with us all. Your real fans won't judge you and will continue to support you. All the love for what you do and keep doing what you're doing and again, thank you, I'm sure you've helped someone today. Cheers! :)
@@neolithic3 In australia we earn more so it balances out, our healthcare is only a 2% tax anyway. A family member got 150k worth of cancer treatment for free
This is why Drift0r is a friggin' badass of a human being. He talks the hard talks, opens himself to all sorts of flak from others, while hoping that it will help someone. Brad, if you see this, you have my respect, man. Keep being awesome!
Drift0r, I'm glad you posted this because it's good for people to see that people have health issues and you're presenting it brilliantly. I never would've thought that you had low T, but I'm glad that you're finally balancing out and things are coming together. I do know that low T can make men look much younger than they are if it's a condition that has been present since childhood. Proud of you for posting this man.
Wow ur American health system is whack, thankgod we av the NHS here it ain't great but u can get the basics for free. Some docs are clueless. You should be put on TRT for a while see it goes. Exercise and protein will only increase it a bit but if its very low you need treatment asap. Include cardio workouts more than anything u just have to when getting older. doesn't have to be running just home workouts with light weights are great. One thing youtube is great for all the free workouts etc from legit trainers.
Assuming you live in Canada? Would never want NHC. Especially when the people sued Quebec because the wait times were endangering lives (Chaoulli v Quebec). This dude had an anomaly experience compared to what most us citizens actually have. I just walk into my hospital, pay my co-pay (50 bucks) and see my doctor. Any blood work is 25 dollars. Medication is a 10 dollar co-pay. I pay 72 dollars a month and my job pays 240. I also get a 20 percent discount on all optical expenses. My dental insurance is 41 dollars a month. All preventive care is free with x-rays. 50 dollar co-pay on basic dental work, major dental work is a 20 percent deductible. All of that is significantly cheaper than paying into national Healthcare. I will keep my money, thank you.
U.K healthcare system is far superior to U.S. For starters, the US government spends more than the U.K. per citizen. So more taxes end up going to subsidise private companies...
I may not have that but I have an intestinal issue older people are supposed to have. Its been about 6 years since I was first diagnosed with diverticulitis and its only gotten worse. For the first time I actually got an appointment with a gastroenterologist and he even said "you're too young and barely starting your life to have this condition" (I just turned 27). The past couple of years have been extremely rough with no health insurance, or funds to properly take care of myself. About a couple months ago I hit depression extremely hard to the point I wanted to set myself free from the pain. Its difficult to enjoy life when your friends want to do certain things you can't and they call you out on it despite knowing how bad it can be. But I do know one thing: life is hard and it sucks, but you gotta keep your chin up brother no matter how hard life knocks you down, you'll have people by your side to help you stand strong and face life every time
I love when you do these kinds of videos drift, eventhough you might think it's embarrassing it just comes off as honest and down to earth, you don't normally get that from content creators
I’ve been a fan since advanced warfare, you have nothing to be embarrassed by my dude. I got fired from my job by breaking a desk drawer out of anger. I’ve dealt with mental health issues all my life and just when I thought I’ve overcome it, it caught up with me and cost me my job.
The amount that the over the counter pills raise testosterone levels is SO miniscule...It's a fast way for supplement companies to make a lot of money.. What you're feeling might be placebo.. It takes regular injectable testosterone takes a month to "kick in". I hope you don't get crazier when the blood test come back lol. But I hope you can get the help you need without spending too much money. You're a great content creator man.
tacoguy210 I know most black market test pills are highly liver toxic. Curious as to why they didn’t prescribe injections since they work so much better
shawndrogoff - Theyre is no such thing as testosterone pill. The pills are other compounds... And theyre less toxic than having 1 beer a day. Side effects are huge gains and puffy nips.
I'm new to this channel and I think your honesty about your condition with your subscribers is great good on you for getting the help you needed and I hope everything works out for ya keep up with the awesome content
Yo I’m an eight thoughts fan and now I’m a fan of you! We all wish the best for you honestly and props for doing the podcast! You got nothing to be embarrassed about man, so many people in my family have the same problem and I know that it’s a pretty common thing!
Hey Driftor, I’ve been a fan for like 6 years now. But anyways I’m super glad this is seams to be helping. And hopefully some of the negative side effects are caused by initial shock (which I have hade with many medications).
I have similar issues, though mine do come from bipolar, clinical depression, etc. I get super manic a lot so I don’t often have much peace of mind. I’ve been taking Wellbutrin, clonidine, limictal, tennex, risperidol. Doubt I spelled those correctly lol have to take this cocktail of antidepressants, antipsychotics, etc every day, I definitely know what a lot of that feels like. They work well enough, I guess, but not always as well as I need them to. Really hope things get better for you, I’ve been watching your content for a few years now and you seem like a good person, one who deserves stability and peace. Good luck with all of this. 👍🏻
Thank you for this video. Not nearly enough people talk about these situations. Also I'm sorry you had a terrible experience with Blue Cross Texas. I have Blue Cross Massachusetts, and they've been nothing short of spectacular and helping me through some really difficult medical issues. Also my brother went through very similar situations. He ended up having to take a testosterone gel supplement, which did wonders for his behavior and mental health. The only side effect has been that his shoulders are now incredibly furry.
Soy estrogens are phytoestrogens and that is not used by the human body. We use mammalian estrogen. In fact vegans men have statistically higher levels of testosterone than omnivore men. So no.
For even talking about this online, and because of the nature of the subject, I have found much more respect for you. I'm not saying I didn't have respect to begin with and I always knew you to be a down to earth dude ( but not going to lie, the extra sarcasm in tweets has been fantastic to see 😄). But still, massive props to you man.
Low testosterone is not what causes the anger issues. It is the excess Cortisol that was triggered by low testosterone. You probably have excessive cortisol, which also causes weight gain. I am not sure taking testosterone is the right solution if it does not solve the excess cortisol. It might only thin your hair. Cortisol is a stress hormone that will cause anger. Low testosterone will not cause anger. High testosterone can cause anger. Taking in extra testosterone can cause more anger.
So you said at the beginning of the video it won't be very uplifting. This video made me really happy though. I like it when people on the internet just talk about their life in an honest way and let their community take part. And of course it made me happy seeing that you convinced yourself to see a doctor and that you got help. :)
I've had many of your exact symptoms for almost a decade now. I'm getting my T and E levels checked in December. Your video has helped at least one person: me.
Nothing wrong with talking about this stuff. You're a human being. We all go through something at some point in our lives, and for some reason, many of us do it alone. But we don't have too! I'm 31, also going through my own trials, but I find the more I share, the more I learn about what other people may be going through. I haven't heard of anyone with my issue however, so I feel like im treading new water. But anyway, thanks for sharing!!

Drift0r... I've heard the OTC Test booster is placebo, mostly. I'd get a scrip for the "big boy" Test. You might see the weight gain issue go away. IMO
unpopular opinion, but he’s doing it for more money. not much else, it will work but it’s pretty sad tbh haha :’)
Did 9lives get a 10th life. Is he actually alive?
I agree but man I was just about to write thst
Man, you honestly don't have anything to be embarrassed about. It's literally just an imbalance in your body. Not something you can control. Thanks for sharing driftor, I respect you for that. Have a great rest of your year and happy Thanksgiving (from Canada).
We all respect it
Happy Thanksgiving
FYI Drift0r nothing is embarrassing about health issues no matter what they are. Had a family member in their late 20’s early 30’s that had significant Low T and exhibited very comparable symptoms and had to go on hormone therapy. Not a big thing at all it’s actually fairly common and is increasingly happening to younger and younger males.

release 😱
It is embarrassing but no one will make fun of. Him.
I think I'm in the same boat as you. I am following your advice and get checked. Thanks for sharing. You should never feel ashamed for talking about things like this. Our culture is screwed up.
Good luck and take care of yourself!
Get well soon. Ive not even watched for content, at this point youre just a cool dude so i keep up on your yt. Get well soon man, life throws curveballs
Hey Drift, just over a year ago I found out I had the same thing. Although mine was caused by a tumor that sits directly on top of my pituitary gland. I had the exact same symptoms as you. I'm here to tell you dont need to be embarrassed. I've been on meds for a year now and I'm completely changed, for the better. Keep your chin up, get the treatment you need and you will be feeling 100% in about a month or less. Stay strong man. I'm 34 btw.
Viking - sounds like acromegaly. My husband had/has that. I hope you were able to get your tumor removed.
@@christineencrypt3892 the MRI revealed that it is very very small. I'm on medications to help keep it in check I guess. I had another MRI a month ago and the tumor hasnt grown at all in a years time. From what my doctor has said it doesn't need to be removed. So I'm lucky I guess.
Is it possible to raise your testosterone with supplements bought over the counter? I don’t have insurance and for a while now I’ve suspected my testosterone levels are low. What exactly does the doctor prescribe you?
@@Rudyshotcha well there is a natural way of sorts to raise it. But it depends on how your built I guess. If you have some weight on you, you could try losing it. That helps raise it naturally, also working out helps raise it as well.
@@Rudyshotcha as far as what is prescribed, the testosterone replacement therapy can come in a few forms. Injection, this is done either once a week or twice a week depending. A sort of pill thing that the doctor would put under the skin and it slowly releases over the course of a month. Or Gel, which is applied once daily to your shoulders, if needed also on your thighs.
Many of us have embarrassing medical problems, myself included. So thank you for showing strength and sharing.
I hope things get better.
Well, what is yours?
Alex Lopresti Still trying to get to the bottom of it. The doctors are giving me a hard time diagnosing exactly what’s going on. It pisses me off.
(Sgt. Doom) I wouldn't say "all." These problems are not evolutionarily beneficial. What may be causing you to say such a thing is the availability bias and base rate fallacy. It's easy to think of people with medical problems, so you incorrectly say there's more than there actually is. While diabetes and mental health issues, for example, are becoming more prevalent, it's not like the entire US population has it. Even if 20% of our population were afflicted, they're still a minority (a rather staggeringly large minority). But I do agree with your basic premise: we are getting sick more often. (It's also very possible medicine is getting better at diagnosing and the prevalence rate did not significantly change.)
Edit1: "was" changed to "were"
Sgt. Doom i don’t
A. Melanoleuca I’ll edit my comment I guess?
Eight thoughts: rubbing hands together 🙏"this is perfect"
Honestly I've been having issues lately and I fit the bill for almost exactly how you described yourself i think I'm gonna set up an appointment thx for the video drift0r
Andrew Kennelley I hope you get better
Same
Andrew Kennelley i have some questions man. I think I have the same thing and I was wondering if you could tell me what you're going to tell the doctor or tell me how he's going to respond
How'd it go
I love your vulnerability. So many people can (and surely will) benefit from hearing how you open up to so many people with such personal topics.
I'm studying the hormon system in biological psychology at the moment and was thinking about your problem. Testosteron is not only produced in the gonads, but in the adrenal aswell, and because your sexdrive is okay it's very likely that it's the adrenal that maybe stopped producing testosteron, espacially because the result was even lower on the second test. I don't know if you had problems with your kidneys or adrenal before that could have caused them to stop producing, but you should maybe check them, so they can excite the adrenal to start producing again and you don't need to depent on pills.
I haven't completed my degree yet and I'm not studying a medical degree, so I could be wrong, but I didn't want to keep that idea inside of me, if it could potentially help you...
I’ve experienced some similar symptoms and I think i’m going to have a check up soon, appreciate your honesty and keep your head up man a lot of us go through stuff and it takes confidence to speak about something you aren’t 100% comfortable with. Not everyone is toxic, i’m sure other people watched this and could relate in different ways. Good on you for spreading awareness & being honest with your audience.
Drift0r don't just do cardio, pick up some weights you'll love yourself in the future, the increased test should make muscle building much easier for you
xFlixer only soy bois do cardio
Nnumber1(psn) aka Legit_s_1337 or people who want to look shredded instead of having vague muscle definition and have their bodies be useful and not be some guy who has a ton of muscle but is huffing and puffing from a single sprint.
TV HEAD 707 I meant cardio only lol. And you can do no cardio and still be shredded. So from this statement alone you don’t lift
Nnumber1(psn) aka Legit_s_1337 buddy I can 100% guarantee you I lift. I just misunderstood you, I thought you meant doing cardio (even if along with weightlifting) makes you a soy boy.
Nnumber1(psn) aka Legit_s_1337 also your statement about doing no cardio and being shredded is false. You can do no cardio and have visible defined muscles but you won’t be shredded, there’s a difference.
Thanks for opening up, Drift0r. I, myself, suffering from intrusive thoughts which is a symptom of mild Tourette's, the OCD side. I get hyperfocused on embarrassing thoughts, angry thoughts, etc. Through cognitive behavioral therapy and a medication, I've learned to move past it although it's ever present in the background.
Good luck with your rehabilitation.
I'm a simple man, when I see a genuine youtuber talk about a genuine problem, I like
Hey Drift, kinda late to the vid here, but I'm a longish time fan, and I just have to say that I have high respect for you, for what it's worth. I think that it's amazing that
1. You had the determination and humility to seek out help
2. You're willing to be vulnerable to a huge amount of people, whom many will support, but a vocal minority will be dicks to you
3. You're willing to accept all the flak that you'll be getting to help someone out
I'm really glad that someone like you is using their platform to help people out. As for your reputation, I honestly think this helps enforce that you're a genuine dude. Some people will be judgemental, but I think those are the people you don't want in your community in the first place.
Not sure if you or anyone will ever read this, but I thought it was worth a shot at hopefully putting a smile on your face :)
"loud noises scares me"
Plays every shooter game with guns and explosions going off.
Only the strongest character can handle the hate to help others. Love it.
Hey bud, I hope all is better for you in the future. Get well...
Hi DriftOr,
For the last six months I have watched with great interest almost all your COD WW2 videos and I want to congratulate you for the proffesional job you do, it helped me a lot in the way I play. I do not know how you were before this period but you seemed to me a very natural and balanced guy, so I can't comment about the changes you talked.
But as being a doctor I can comment saying that you shouldn't be embarrassed about any medical condition as it is not your decision or desire to suffer of it and I trully respect your decision to talk about it. As you said, even if only one of your fallowners will benefit from this video, it will be an extraordinary thing. An the other hand you are somehow a public person and admitting your problems, medical or not, makes you a more natural and respectable one.
I wish your medical problems to be solved and to be able to continue your wonderful job.
Best wishes from Romania,
Konashu
Dam you pretty much described how I act and feel like. Maybe I might actually have this. Anyway I hope you get better and your results come out good. Your such a good person and you definitely don't deserve what has happend in your life and, especially, this past year. Keep doing what makes you happy and remember that we, your loyal fans, will support you no matter what! :)
Health problems should never be embarrassing dude. I have severe allergies and can’t eat most foods which means I never get to go and eat with friends. My father also has low testosterone but he’s taking hormone replacements and they have completely changed his life for the better. I’m just happy that you will start feeling better now. Love watching everything you do!
Thanks for letting us into your life a bit here again brother. All the best to you, your health and your family!
I hope you continue to feel better as i know how mental health problems have affected me over time i take meds to cope with this and overall i hope these down side effects don't hinder you going forward
I have hyperacusis as well, Driftor. Even mildly loud sounds are painful to my ears, I ask my peers if these sounds hurt them to and most say no. Sudden noises also frighten me, even if they are relatively quiet. I've had ear disease though which is probably related.
I'm on the autism spectrum and I'm sensitive to sound as well. Its really awful that millions of people are sensitive to sound. I hope you'll be okay tho
same problem with the sound bro, what sounds hurt me for other don;t so feels bad ....
I was really obsessed with my hearing for a while and have tinnitus from a certain rave I went to. Anyway the more I o sensed the worse it got. I couldn’t even do dishes at one point because of the clanging of ceramic. Just maybe to offer some hope that it can get better.
Thank you for the replies. It feels good to know w'ere not alone
Donkey Kong can totally relate. Also have ETD, worst thing ever.
Hey man, I've been watching you for years. To see you be so open and honest is inspiring.
My own issues were getting out of hand and I finally went for a check up. I was extremely nervous for many reasons.
Long story short, I'm now diagnosed as depressed and have been put on Sertraline, the generic Zoloft. I was only prescribed 5mg a day but I've yet to see a difference.
Being open about "invisible" issues can be scary or embarrassing but it's important. I applaud you.
I'm starting to think I might have this instead of depressive bipolar. Only problem is I'm already fat, bearded and balding D:
xD
Being overweight puts you at increased risk for low T. Get yourself checked, bro.
Balding is directly related to testosterone. You're just fat and that's it.
Zombie Machinery also genetics lul I know a guy who has done triathlons and marathons, yet bald as a plum with a full beard
Zombie Machinery what do you mean balding is related
Its funny, nearly all the issues you described is pretty much how I am on a daily basis. Its been going on for a while in my life, though my family hadn't had the money to get me checked out until very recently, and it turns out that my problem is exactly opposite to yours. Yes, my testosterone levels are almost 3 times greater than a fully grown man. I'm currently 19 years old, and pretty much fully bald because of this, but I've tried my hardest in life to suppress these feelings because I know it just negatively affects everyone around me. I'm so happy that you came out with this video Brad, and I'm 100% sure some people will take this video as a word of advice to get themselves checked as well.
Thank you Drift0r. Thank you for being honest. Thank you for being open. Thank you for putting yourself out there knowing full well the potential repercussions to try to help someone.. that's exceptionally Alpha of you.
Hey man, it's really brave of you to talk about private stuff on here. Really enlightening as well. I'm currently getting my doctor's degree in psychology and the whole testosterone thing would've blown over my head if I were to receive someone at the clinic with your criteria. Thank you very much for sharing your story. It actually helps me out a lot and educated me in a way. Hope you get everything sorted out and get your quality of life back as you need it to be.
I am 7.5 months off a Xanax cold turkey. Most horrible experience of my life. Severe anxiety, panic, rage, DP/DR, sensitivity to light, fear of everything, insomnia, exhaustion, over stimulation, horrible horrible horrible. I feel for you. I
tZ Tsikuni thank you bro, that means a lot. It’s hard to put into words what this process has been like, and didn’t have a clue what I was in for. But I’m very happy I’m sober. I’m happy for your father, 4 years is an amazing thing. 🙏
Props Drift0t, I always enjoy when you talk about stuff like this. Not that you have to go through it but that you will connect on some level with someone who is going through the same thing and get help.
Nobody knows this besides my parents, but I have low testosterone as well, at 29 years of age. I was diagnosed several years ago. Apparently, it is genetic because my dad has had low t since his 20s. It really is an embarrassing condition. The doctors first put me on Androgel, but now I'm on Clomid.
Clomid here too!
What is your prescribed dosage?? I'm on half a tablet per day.
@drift0r I'm 32 and just got checked the other day and mine was 320 ng, which is the same as an 80 year old man like you stated. I've had symptoms of horrible fatigue for 5 years at least which is what prompted the test. I was scared out of taking testosterone injections due to all the bad side effects (infertility, cancer, etc), but I just researched Clomid and seems like it has none of those bad side effects. Do you feel like its working well for you or have you noticed any downsides in taking it?
@@Mcegan69 clomid is an anti estrogen.
I've done research for years and I almost never read about genetic causing it except for malfunctioning pituitary gland, is that it? You should be furious, clomid is Not Testosterone, its a SERM that lowers the amount of estrogen that your brain sees in the blood so it creams louder to your testis to produce more T. At least Androgel IS TRT but its a lot worse than injections.
Hey man thanks for speaking out. I just got diagnosed with INSANELY low testosterone too. I was also told they’ve never seen anyone my age so low. I just started the shots but I wanted to thank you for talking about an issue most younger guys don’t even consider. It takes balls to want to help others by talking about your health. I hope you continue to get better!
Great video. Really appreciate you normalizing a conversation that's difficult but important to have. Also helped me realize that I'm not alone in embarrassing ill health. Also, I'm not sure if you already know this or not, but testosterone is complicated and far from the public simplification of the 'male/aggression hormone'. Research is sometimes inconclusive, but the general gist is that, much like alcohol, is only makes you aggressive if you think it does (or if your predisposed to be aggressive, though that's another conversation that includes social learning). Bottom line, testosterone does a lot of things. Also hair growth has more to do with androgen receptors that circulating androgens, hence why the increased testosterone increased hair growth where the ARs already were. Thanks again Drift.
This has been a problem in both sides of my family and has been annoying. It helps a lot to have loved ones around you
Oh my god, thank you so much. A few months back I had some very similar symptoms and I thought that it was just natural. Eventually I bought some very expensive computer parts just to prove an argument over the internet, then broke them when I realized that I didn’t know how to build it. I realized something was wrong, so I went to a doctor. He said that it was low testosterone. My life has been far more stable ever since
Rma the parts so you can still win the argument
It always feels good to get some answers. Not to belittle your symptoms, but I’m glad it wasn’t worse and is treatable. Good luck with everything man
My boy Driftor is gonna be growing his first beard soon! Congrats!
At least he gonna get one unlike you..
Axer Gamings Let me guess, you're 13 or under aren't you?
youre an asshole
tn15 that's not how it works
Been following you for a couple years now. Nice to see that you can put a finger on your problems and that you are getting better. I don't watch your video anymore but the personal ones. Keep it up mate!
I've got a lot of similar symptoms, and it's a problem I haven't been able to solve. Maybe I'll have to look into this. I definitely noticed some of that rage in your streams (damn those sound settings). Keep us updated on your progress. I'm guessing you omitted discussing the exact drug you are taking on purpose, but if not, what are you taking?
Mad respect for you, videos like these are why I love your channel
Zero health problems are embarrassing bro. It's just a fact of life that we all will encounter some sort of health issues. Those who make fun of you for it are just people going through their own health issues, most likely mental. Try to not take anything personal and remind yourself life is short so be happy!
Drift, you're the man for sharing your experience. I ran through med school notes, articles and all that jazz, but I can't really find a reason for low T to get you stressed and angrier. But like you've said, we're all different and our bodies react differently to the same situations. Good on you that you at least found an understanding physician, and the all the best to you and your wife!
stop playing fortnite and maybe your testosterone will come back lol
Is in every game lol
Just saying >:)
Agreed
Very helpfull
Damn
Good luck on your journey bro! Don’t let anyone put you down for medical issues. I’ll keep you in my prayers. Godspeed!
You should definitely THANK YOUR WIFE. Take her out and shower her. Thank her. Living with someone who has mental issues is not very fun. (I'm sure you know because you have family history) You're very lucky to have someone who can put up with your issues.
Agreed yet living whit a mental issue isnt really a walk in the parl either
You worded this about as poorly as possible. Yes the wife should be appreciated, but not for “putting up with his issues” simply for being supportive and there for him if that’s what she has been.
Yea but he had to live with her too that's torture as well.
tacoguy210 The way worded this was kind of rude, honestly.
@@Tool0GT92 haha
Appreciate the honesty Drift0r you've gotten me through so much with your videos I'd love to know you in person to help even more, all I can do where I am is support you and even through the unusual behavior I've seen recently never unsubbed or lost faith, glad you found something that helped you hope the re-test further proves that it's working!
You shouldn't be embarrassed of something you have no control of.
My man. You are an amazing role model for anyone that comes across a video of yours. You are honorable, forthcoming and personable. You have brought so many different issues outside of gaming to your channel that most wouldnt dare to bring up. You sir are a man that has made the world a much better place. I can only imagine how difficult some of these videos are to make but I hope you continue to make them. Although some of these philosophical and real world issues dont apply to every person that watches, every person can take something from these videos and self reflect to improve themselves. Thank you.
Hey driftor, fellow eight thoughts fan here, I watched the stream yesterday and it really showed me a new face of yours I’ve never seen before. It’s fine if you have this problem, I support you all the way.
Thanks for sharing! I know it can be scary sometimes but I know a lot of us will be here to support through whatever. Hope things get better soon.
Thanks for coming on the eight thoughts podcast. You did a great job. I feel for your issues and wish you well.
Winston Wolf respect ✊
DUDE!
I rarely leave comments on people's videos, but this one is great.
I hope you know that it doesn't matter to your loved ones and to your fanbase what changes you are going through. Because we all are.
And the only thing that matters is your truthfulness to yourself, and I'm glad you shared that with me. Thank you.
Hey drift! I was on one of your fortnite streams a few months ago as a fortnite player, and you built a 1x1 fort for yourself towards the end of the match we won and i kind of ruined it, you seemed to lash out and i felt really really bad. Now i know it's not really your fault, but i still wanted to apologize for royally screwing up.
You are awesome dude.
this is a great example of why I absolutely adore following you. I love your heart for people, despite all that you've been through
Thought it was gonna be hemorrhoids
These are the worst
Kudos to you, Drift0r, for these types of videos. I hope things continue to improve!
thanx for your honest words - not the easiest thing to talk about in the public. I wish you recover soon.
I love when you post these types of videos. Men do not talk about their health as much as they should. You talking about your Zoloft helped me to get the help I need for my mental illnesses. Low T is a very big problem for men, hopefully this will help people like your Zoloft video helped me.
Bruh that first doctor doesn't know a goddamn thing about weed lmao
It does cause infertility but lowering test I don't think so
Joshua Torres yeah I’m pretty sure you have to be chiefing like 7 grams a day for a really long time to become infertile
@@JT-of6of It does lower your testosterone and raises your estrogen, especially for daily smokers.
Darkaero it actually increases testosterone by a little bit. Not sure about the estrogen part.
Get well soon man! I pray that things get better for you. Keep fighting and perserving!
6:55 thank me later.
Yeah im unsubscribing after this because he's being so click-baity with this video he should just tell us from the start or better yet put it in the video title... smh
@@Las3rBoy
He didn't lie though.
@@Las3rBoy He didn't lie, he just spent that time to give context. Maybe it was a bit much, but I wouldn't call this clickbait.
Hope all is well soon. I definitely know the feeling. Many hate to admit this type of depression order and no is one perfect. You’ll get better keep yourself off social media time to time. Hard to do obviously for your business type of direction. You have a loving a wife and family and they’re for you. There’s time that the certain medication you are on doesn’t always do the fix while getting older with age and as your brain tries fixiate while getting up there in age. If you ever feel like to talk more about it just inbox me if you’re up to it. Either way I re subbed not too long ago cause miss your input on games and so on. Miss the call of duty ones more than many might most than others. Just keep yourself up in spirits more than you can think of.
My powers in action.
The real MVP
Dude there's no shame in having health problems of any kind. I'm glad that you've found a treatment that seems to be working. You seem like a really awesome guy and I really enjoy your channel, keep it up!
Good podcast with eight thoughts
Where is that?
Arc Derg it was on twitch
It was really good. I thought Drift0r and Eight Thoughts has pretty good chemistry
I enjoyed it as well
I wish nothing but the best for you Sir, thank you for sharing something so personal. I don't think it's anything to be embarrassed about but I'm not you so I hope you know people support you and are here for you. I've always loved your vids and the comprehensive information that you share with us all. Your real fans won't judge you and will continue to support you. All the love for what you do and keep doing what you're doing and again, thank you, I'm sure you've helped someone today. Cheers! :)
That is so sad how bad the healthcare is in america, my country and many others are incredibly lucky to have low cost or free healthcare
It's not free. You pay for it via higher taxes.
@@neolithic3 In australia we earn more so it balances out, our healthcare is only a 2% tax anyway. A family member got 150k worth of cancer treatment for free
ITS NOT FREE! gvmnt stole money from taxpayers to pay healthcare+welfare+warfare
This is why Drift0r is a friggin' badass of a human being. He talks the hard talks, opens himself to all sorts of flak from others, while hoping that it will help someone. Brad, if you see this, you have my respect, man. Keep being awesome!
Get on that prescription test, hit the gym and get jaaaacked!
Drift0r, I'm glad you posted this because it's good for people to see that people have health issues and you're presenting it brilliantly. I never would've thought that you had low T, but I'm glad that you're finally balancing out and things are coming together.
I do know that low T can make men look much younger than they are if it's a condition that has been present since childhood.
Proud of you for posting this man.
Wow ur American health system is whack, thankgod we av the NHS here it ain't great but u can get the basics for free. Some docs are clueless. You should be put on TRT for a while see it goes. Exercise and protein will only increase it a bit but if its very low you need treatment asap. Include cardio workouts more than anything u just have to when getting older. doesn't have to be running just home workouts with light weights are great. One thing youtube is great for all the free workouts etc from legit trainers.
Assuming you live in Canada? Would never want NHC. Especially when the people sued Quebec because the wait times were endangering lives (Chaoulli v Quebec). This dude had an anomaly experience compared to what most us citizens actually have. I just walk into my hospital, pay my co-pay (50 bucks) and see my doctor. Any blood work is 25 dollars. Medication is a 10 dollar co-pay. I pay 72 dollars a month and my job pays 240. I also get a 20 percent discount on all optical expenses. My dental insurance is 41 dollars a month. All preventive care is free with x-rays. 50 dollar co-pay on basic dental work, major dental work is a 20 percent deductible. All of that is significantly cheaper than paying into national Healthcare. I will keep my money, thank you.
Kyle Gruber he doesn't live in Canada
The NHS is shite no matter what there helping with
@@InvntdXNEWROMAN I think he lives in the uk
U.K healthcare system is far superior to U.S. For starters, the US government spends more than the U.K. per citizen. So more taxes end up going to subsidise private companies...
I may not have that but I have an intestinal issue older people are supposed to have. Its been about 6 years since I was first diagnosed with diverticulitis and its only gotten worse. For the first time I actually got an appointment with a gastroenterologist and he even said "you're too young and barely starting your life to have this condition" (I just turned 27). The past couple of years have been extremely rough with no health insurance, or funds to properly take care of myself. About a couple months ago I hit depression extremely hard to the point I wanted to set myself free from the pain. Its difficult to enjoy life when your friends want to do certain things you can't and they call you out on it despite knowing how bad it can be. But I do know one thing: life is hard and it sucks, but you gotta keep your chin up brother no matter how hard life knocks you down, you'll have people by your side to help you stand strong and face life every time
I've seen a drawing of trap Alex jones
I love when you do these kinds of videos drift, eventhough you might think it's embarrassing it just comes off as honest and down to earth, you don't normally get that from content creators
TL;DR He had mood swings and was super angry all the time and when he got it checked out, he had super low testosterone levels
I’ve been a fan since advanced warfare, you have nothing to be embarrassed by my dude. I got fired from my job by breaking a desk drawer out of anger. I’ve dealt with mental health issues all my life and just when I thought I’ve overcome it, it caught up with me and cost me my job.
The amount that the over the counter pills raise testosterone levels is SO miniscule...It's a fast way for supplement companies to make a lot of money.. What you're feeling might be placebo.. It takes regular injectable testosterone takes a month to "kick in". I hope you don't get crazier when the blood test come back lol. But I hope you can get the help you need without spending too much money. You're a great content creator man.
tacoguy210 I know most black market test pills are highly liver toxic. Curious as to why they didn’t prescribe injections since they work so much better
shawndrogoff - Theyre is no such thing as testosterone pill. The pills are other compounds... And theyre less toxic than having 1 beer a day. Side effects are huge gains and puffy nips.
I'm new to this channel and I think your honesty about your condition with your subscribers is great good on you for getting the help you needed and I hope everything works out for ya keep up with the awesome content
Could've been a lot worse man, just keep that in mind :)
Really don't think that's a good mentality
Yeah it's not a good one it's a great one, he's on medication now and it's helping so he should just be thankful that it's not something a lot worse
Yo I’m an eight thoughts fan and now I’m a fan of you! We all wish the best for you honestly and props for doing the podcast! You got nothing to be embarrassed about man, so many people in my family have the same problem and I know that it’s a pretty common thing!
Your body stopped making T when you started wearing your hair like that.
Hey Driftor,
I’ve been a fan for like 6 years now. But anyways I’m super glad this is seams to be helping. And hopefully some of the negative side effects are caused by initial shock (which I have hade with many medications).
Respect
I have similar issues, though mine do come from bipolar, clinical depression, etc. I get super manic a lot so I don’t often have much peace of mind. I’ve been taking Wellbutrin, clonidine, limictal, tennex, risperidol. Doubt I spelled those correctly lol have to take this cocktail of antidepressants, antipsychotics, etc every day, I definitely know what a lot of that feels like. They work well enough, I guess, but not always as well as I need them to. Really hope things get better for you, I’ve been watching your content for a few years now and you seem like a good person, one who deserves stability and peace. Good luck with all of this. 👍🏻
All hail eight thoughts lol
Thank you for this video. Not nearly enough people talk about these situations. Also I'm sorry you had a terrible experience with Blue Cross Texas. I have Blue Cross Massachusetts, and they've been nothing short of spectacular and helping me through some really difficult medical issues.
Also my brother went through very similar situations. He ended up having to take a testosterone gel supplement, which did wonders for his behavior and mental health. The only side effect has been that his shoulders are now incredibly furry.
6:50 is that maybe because of Soy? Or something in your food?
Soy estrogens are phytoestrogens and that is not used by the human body. We use mammalian estrogen. In fact vegans men have statistically higher levels of testosterone than omnivore men. So no.
but why most vegans act so feminine?
@@imicca because of the estrogen in the soy
No. Ffs. Stop watching pjw and read a book.
Dear Laurence Wylie
I will watch what I want.
Big ups to you man for speaking about your personal issue. Love you man, you're a great youtube
A really peculiar problem. The symptoms kind of throw me off.
For even talking about this online, and because of the nature of the subject, I have found much more respect for you. I'm not saying I didn't have respect to begin with and I always knew you to be a down to earth dude ( but not going to lie, the extra sarcasm in tweets has been fantastic to see 😄). But still, massive props to you man.
Low testosterone is not what causes the anger issues. It is the excess Cortisol that was triggered by low testosterone. You probably have excessive cortisol, which also causes weight gain. I am not sure taking testosterone is the right solution if it does not solve the excess cortisol. It might only thin your hair. Cortisol is a stress hormone that will cause anger. Low testosterone will not cause anger. High testosterone can cause anger. Taking in extra testosterone can cause more anger.
do you have a medical degree or are you shooting from the hip
Actually it's probably the higher level of oestrogen that made him moody and more emotional
So you said at the beginning of the video it won't be very uplifting.
This video made me really happy though. I like it when people on the internet just talk about their life in an honest way and let their community take part. And of course it made me happy seeing that you convinced yourself to see a doctor and that you got help.
:)
Are you a furry?
:DolphinPanda007: lol 😂
I'm glad you're getting things figured out. I hope things keep getting better.
I have so much respect for you Drift! It really takes balls to talk about difficult health issues on TH-cam.
I've had many of your exact symptoms for almost a decade now. I'm getting my T and E levels checked in December. Your video has helped at least one person: me.
Props to you bro for the share. Best of luck in your treatment my friend.
Nothing wrong with talking about this stuff. You're a human being. We all go through something at some point in our lives, and for some reason, many of us do it alone. But we don't have too!
I'm 31, also going through my own trials, but I find the more I share, the more I learn about what other people may be going through. I haven't heard of anyone with my issue however, so I feel like im treading new water.
But anyway, thanks for sharing!!
