Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hi all,This may be a little long wanted to get in all the facts,sorry bout that. I have been reading files but would still like some input. My hubby was a cheerful,social and busy person, that is until 2 years ago. He went from a full head of hair with no gray to gray patches to just about nothing. He lost all of his chest hair,just about all of his body hair including his eyelashes. Now he is grumpy,depressed,won't go anywhere but work. He quit church and his volunteering with the youth group. He is quick tempered and to be frank just don't reason well at all. We have been married 27 yrs and I feel I don't even know this person. He was on androgel for low test. count but just stopped taking it a couple weeks ago. I have him on saw palmetto but I feel there has got to be something behind this. They are pushing him to take antidep. and shots for hormones but with pros. cancer high in his family(his dad) I hope he doesn't. An extra note his grandfather died young and they called it old man disease back then said he aged rapidly at 60 and died.Drs today not sure exactly what that was but there has to be something in the genes here. His father has had 2 bouts with test. cancer and prst,cancer all in 60's. My husband is 46 looks 60 and all in just a couple of years. Any help is appreciated.

Guest guest Posted July 22, 2006 Report Share Posted July 22, 2006 Dear Kim, Sorry to hear about his problems, and your upsets. I hate to sound like a broken record, but you should get him to listen to my two lectures. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't . . . If he doesn't decide to change these conditions himself, you're fighting a losing battle.
