I was not daignosed until 40 years old. I was on HRT for two years
and stopped taking it. I don't believe HRT has any proven medical
benefits. They say it might help this or that, it might make you feel
better or horny. But clinically, I'd like to see what advantages
taking HRT provides. I have a group called Married Klinefelter Males.
In the group, there are members who have been on HRT for over 30
years and still have developed osteoperosis. I have members who have
gone off it for a year after being on it for over twenty years only
to notice that they weren't as horny as before and that their job
performance improved off of the HRT. I use natural supplements for my
mood (Sam-E, St. John's Wart, or B-Complex), 1500mg daily of Calcium
and I could go on. Basically, when I wanted to stop taking the HRT, I
asked my Endo and she said plain and simple, 'It depends how good you
want to feel.' 'Otherwise, I would suggest you take a B-Complex and
look into natural supplements.' My biggest fear was the Osteo factor,
my scan at age 42 showed I was on the cusp of developing the 'penia'.
After just 1 year on 1500 mg. of calcium my next scan showed
improvement and now after 3 years, you should see my chart, my bones
are steadily growing stronger. But in the end it comes down to what
makes you feel better. My wife and I are were just discussing how
better our lives have become since I went off of the HRT. We are all
different. Before I went off the HRT I cut my daily dosage in half,
so I slowly went off of it. Then try a trial period of 3 months and
see how it works for you. Good Luck. Paul
