Doctor.......I am so puzzled.  Had RAI a few years back.  Am now fat, lazy, without ambition or motivation.  What has happened to me?  I was such a go-getter, organized and active.  I am in a self-loathing frame of mind.  Should I have gone to this final solution with the RAI.  What can I do about my present state?  All the tests are normal, even testosterone.
