Anyone have a hard time getting back to normal after ADT?

@narus hello. It will be 6 months on Halloween since my 6 month Lupron shot. I completed 5 SBRT a month ago. I’ll get a PSA & testosterone test mid November & my RO late November.
After experiencing ADT, I’ll never (I know brave words now) go on ADT again. I plan to ask my RO to prescribe testosterone but I anticipate he will say “not yet”. I’ve read enough to be danderous.
I will not allow up to another 6 months to regain testosterone levels somewhere near normal for my age of 76. At this point TIME & its quality is more on my mind than longevity (ADT based). I don’t trust my thoughts, ache all the time, night sweats, brain fog(damage😂) I’m scared of bone and muscle loss. Only thing I know works is regular weight lifting heavy weights with less reps.
My long winded question to you is what would you suggest I look into regarding getting on testosterone supplement?

@utahgearhead I think you should talk with your Urologist first and see what they say. At the end of the day it is your choice and if they will not prescribe it you can go to an online clinic that will after blood work.
