Update 2/21/18: Spoke with Endo today. Says all my pituitary labs are good. Now for the real thing... He is willing to put me on a trial run at 40mg of testosterone injections once a week. Since my last level was 460, he says 40mg will bump me up 100-200 more and may make me feel better. I...

Right on. Makes sense. Just to keep everyone updated if interested: Spoke with Doc again today. He says my Prolactin and Albumin levels are just above limit. He wants to retest to make sure I don't have any pituitary issues. I agreed. I told him that while my 460 level is within normal...

UPDATE 2/13/18: Saw my endocrinologist today. We talked for over an hour about my symptoms and previous labs. He says I am in the ***8220;gray area***8221; of low-normal testosterone levels, which may or may not be the problem. He concluded that if my levels were not below the clinically low...
