LifeTwo's goal is to help those who are trying to help themselves by providing an easy-to-use format for reading about issues relating to middle age, and thank you for the nice words. What we are not however is a replacement for in-person medical help. Your research has helped you with both the type of medical professional that you may want to work with as well as informed questions to direct at them as you do.

As for specific next steps, with regard to Andropause we have a few posts on this topic and one of them has a link to Jed Diamond, who is an expert in this field. He also has a book on the topic which I'll link below. And, as mentioned above, you want to pose your questions to the medical professional who you've been working with. A good doctor won't sigh and lecture you about the dangers of self-diagnosis and will work with you as a partner in determining the best course of action for your condition.

Take care and let us know what you learn. Your effort and the knowledge you are gaining could help others facing similar issues.
