Picture this: Men in their late 40s and 50s suddenly start waking up in the middle of the night shivering, their T-shirts soaked in sweat. They cannot get back to sleep. They have bouts of dizziness. At random moments, their hearts pound. Their joints hurt — not ache, but hurt. No amount of daily hydration stops the headaches that appear out of nowhere. The skin on their penises is so raw that even sitting down is painful; sex is out of the question. Also, sometimes they have stabbing pains in their crotches.
Their workouts and healthy-eating regimens are no longer sufficient. They’re gaining weight and losing muscle mass. They have bloating, heartburn and other digestive issues. Their hair falls out. Their gums bleed. Their skin feels tight and itchy. There are days when they feel mild electric shocks when turning their heads. They’re irritable with their loved ones, can’t concentrate, and can’t seem to keep thoughts in their heads. They have panic attacks.
