I would advise HELL NO until you get approval from two licensed healthcare practitioners or more. Perhaps a cardiologist as well. Hopefully Banacek agrees with my advice.

I am not a doctor but I see no issue with the HRT treatment and pacemakers. Well....except the guy may put himself in harms way with the overactive libido. :)

hopefully that would be all:) i'm not saying there isn't a chance it might improve his situation.....i'm implying that it is a very serious situation, the decision could result in serious consequences and should not be based on what a handful of unqualified people here choose to type.

this is something he needs to take up with his doctor not a freaking message board.

change in blood pressure, water retention or RBC could be fatal. He needs to see a cardiologist.

Good advice.
Why would you even consider it without talking to his Cardiologist?

Possible contender for a Darwin Award.

I didn't think it would hurt to get an outside opinion on the subject. I understand this is a very serious situation, he is going to do whatever he wants to do. but i will advise him accordingly i never thought of blood pressure or water retention, so thank you for your opinions, i will pass the message on.
