thanks for the reply.
Different modalities of therapy are available, including low dose estrogen therapy, anabolic steroids, growth hormone alone or in combination with the above
but the uw specifically says no anabolic steroids, what do you think?
tough decision to take when you have to make a choice. But I consider UW a higher authority than myself
