Has anyone used testosterone older than ninety?

Sarcopenia is the term for age-related muscle loss. It's real. It's a problem as time goes on and we lose more muscle because of falls or being unable even to get into or out of bed in some extreme cases. Getting off the floor if you survive a fall okay can be a real challenge, or even impossible with substantial muscle loss. So, and I'm not a doctor or a nurse, but I would personally welcome a chance to retain whatever muscle I can to keep me off the darned floor! Or, if already there, unhappily, to stand again.

My advice: take it. It may just work!

If your doctor recommends it, he/she must be familiar with your history - So, why not take the doctors recommendation? if you do decide to go for it, please come back to this site and post your progress, at 92, I might want to ask my MD for the same script.

Jerry, at 95, why not? Hopefully, to the extent you can, you're also moving around a lot and lifting heavy stuff!

Jerry, if your MD recommends, and you meet the criteria, might be worth a trial. I'm guessing research trials the past 20 years didn't include 90 years old and older. Things which may argue against testosterone in a male include history of prostate or breast cancer, untreated sleep apnea, high hemoglobin or PSA tests, other factors which you and your doctor can discuss. I suspect in an ideal world a screening testosterone level would be done about 50 or 60 years old, at least if clinical suspicion of low testosterone, to evaluate need for treatment. Best wishes.
