Q&A-40: should I take testosterone replacement therapy?

Testosterone and remyelination; does it work?

Questions

After listening to a menopause specialist, one of my patients asked me about Testosterone and remyelination. They discussed it with their GP, Practice nurse, and urologist but were not able to convince any of them to prescribe it for them. Would you happen to know anything about this? I must admit it was news, so I thought I should investigate. What are your thoughts about it?

If people want to ask medical questions unrelated to the Newsletters or Podcasts, they either need to become paying subscribers or email (ms-selfie@giovannoni.net) to request a complimentary subscription.

I would interested to hear if any of you take testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), for what reasons, and if it has helped.
