[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=PaigeKeller]Testosterone is not FDA approved to be used for women, is it?

[/quote]

OP here.  No its not.  Its prescribed for various off label reasons such as sex drive or bone density issues.  And as far as I know, there are no long term studies regarding its safety.  I don't know why her doc prescribed it.[/quote]

Sex drive a lot.
It's not approved but in small amounts it doesn't have the dreaded side effects.
There are tons of drugs that are prescribed off label including tons for children.

Testosterone is discussed in this article:

How old is your wife?

[/quote]

She's 43 and is in great health generally speaking.  She's complained about low energy and poor memory for the better part of a year.  Overall, she's very fit.[/quote]

Jeez Louise. She needs a full workup plus testing for Lyme disease or even a sleep study. Not testosterone...which is associated with stroke or heart attack. Sure for some people those side effects are worth the risk but she needs to get checked out thoroughly first. I had brain fog and tiredness...turns out I have Restless Leg Syndrome. So glad my Dr didn't just give me Androgel.[/quote]

She had a full work up done but it wasn't by an endocrinologist.  [/quote]
