I can't say for sure, but i used
Finasteride for about a year when
DHT was NOT the cause of my hairloss... So that very well could have been it. If Fin wasn't behind it, then i would guess I have always had hypogonadism and it just really got bad in my 20's. I have always had an "apple shaped body". I have always had a little flab over my abdomen and thighs no matter how lean I've gotten. When i was on my ridiculous vegan diet i was 127 lbs and i still had love handles and flab on my stomach... that had to have been estrogen. My BF was ridiculously low.

Loss of sensitivity happened slowly, i didn not realize how bad it had gotten till a year ago. My main focus was the quality of my hair, which my hypothyroidism was DESTROYING. I had no sex drive, but that wasn't my main focus.

I've been on Armour for about 3 months. I've worked slowly up to 3 grains and yeah, i would say it's helping my overall well being, but no drastic changes. My hair is slowly getting better, but I'm going to give it another 6 months before I can say for sure.

I haven't had my dopamine levels tested. I feel very little rush at orgasm.
