Question: thank you, I am an 82 year old guy, still working 7 days a week, in major real estate development and construction in 6 states, but love my work so much that I can!t stop, i however I am in a position that I am basically in a 0 stress situation, 14 years ago I became a serious type 2 diabetic, so serious I jumped over the metformin stage and it was necessary to take 70 units of insulin ( HUMILIN) morning and night, my a1c at one time ran as high as 9, 2 years later as expected here comes stage 2 hypertension, at one time 5 medications 3 times per day, I did some research and started balancing all of my hormones, in 2 years to the amazement of my pcp, I eliminated my diabetes, haven!t had an a1c over 4.8 for over 1 year, I have balanced all of my hormones as well as my thyroid which when I started was 67 % deficient, my blood pressure meds are down to 3 morning and night, still a bit high but still improving, about 6 months ago I started having swelling a little bit in my ankles, but much more in the tops of my feet just a little forward of the arch in my feet, the swelling is not painful at all but is quite puffy, would you think that may be due to some blood flow restriction ? my pcp is like most, unless its of an emergency nature, he has at a XXXXXXX about 15 minutes on a regular visit, do you think I should have any specific test to determine the cause , or what have you experienced in this area, please help me with my country boy PHD, I!m XXXXXXX XXXX

the question I asked earlier to your sexoligist related to ejaculation of sperm, at 80, the first time ever to have my testosterone tested my total was 242, my free was 1.99, I had a compounding pharmacy provide me with a 6 months supply of cream which I applied to my inner wrist x 1 for 10 weeks decided to have private blood test done to see if I was making progress, to my XXXXXXX my total was 1800 and my free was 30, I was trying to get my total to 700/900 and my free to 25/30, I immediately suspended treatment but am unable to excrete sperm during intercourse, there is no pain or discomfort, but just basically nothing, I wonder why? its possible that 82 year old s are not to do it anyway, please provide me with any wisdom you have that will help me get over it............
