[QUOTE="doc holliday, post: 948535, member: 10321"] The hardest thing here is that you have to try and find a way to get your dad motivated to do something about his situation. If you can get him to go to a physician, not any physician but a concierge style physician who specializes in men's health issues, they can do a full blood work up, physical, hormone panel etc. then he can get a good idea as to what's going on. Maybe just make the appointment for him and drag him there once you find one you like. Trt is certainly something for him to consider but it needs to be in context of a whole lifestyle change with diet, exercise. If you can get him to start on his physical health then once he starts seeing improvements here, then he can start working on other things like his teeth, and his emotional health. The right physician is critical here and you really need to talk to a few of them. It's hard at that age because a lot of people give up and it sounds like your dad is at that point. Somehow, you need to get him motivated but I would try to drag him to the doctor as a start. If you have any brothers or sisters you need to get them to help you. You can also try to get him to travel a bit to help him reacquire some zest for life. Some new age stuff like meditation could help too. Hell, get him a 20 yr old escort. Nothing like sex with a young chick to help get reinvigorated. Finding something to get him wanting to live again along with starting to take care of his health is how I would approach it. Keep trying with him, don't give up and try to find something, anything to jump start him. [/QUOTE]
