I'm 58 years old and have been suffering for years. I feel like I'm losing myself; I'm tired all the time, experiencing erectile dysfunction, depression, losing strength, and struggling with memory and focus. These issues are ruining my life. I tire easily when I try to exercise, and I feel these symptoms may be related to metabolic syndrome. I mentioned it to one of my doctors, but it was dismissed immediately. I also know I'm deficient in vitamin D, as diagnosed by the same doctor. I moved to a new state and cannot see my new doctor until another 10 months. I'm a somebody to my son, and he's my only reason to care. Deep down, I want to be better, but I'm tiring as each day goes on. Is there anything I can do?
I'm a 23-year-old male, and I'd like to get my hormone levels checked because I've been dealing with some issues that don't feel normal for me. Here's what's going on: - I feel really tired in the mornings, even after sleeping 7 hours, and it's hard to wake up. Energy's okay later in the day, but mornings are rough. - My skin's been very dry lately. - I'm having trouble concentrating, which is frustrating. - My sex drive's lower than I'd like—it’s not super low, but I feel it could be higher. - Also, my knees have been bothering me. I had surgery on them before, and I'm wondering if something's up with collagen or healing. A bit about me: I sit most of the day, exercise 3 times a week, and my diet's decent but not perfect. I don’t have any diagnosed conditions, though my blood pressure sometimes hits 140/75. No medications. I'd like to get a hormonal profile done to see if anything's off. I’d appreciate your thoughts on what tests to run.
