Blood Test Results - Test Levels

[PGHRam]

Last year I had my test levels checked and it was 347. I just had them checked again last Monday and it was 264 at 36 yrs old. The test was done at 8AM so I'm a little worried about this. I didn't do anything to drop the levels. I did drink a good bit on Friday before the test was done.
Here's what I'm pissed about. The Dr.'s nurse calls me and says everything is normal. Everything's normal even after last year being 347??? I'm gonna have to go talk to the Dr. again to see what he wants to do. If he doesn't do something, I'm getting a new Dr. to help.
I'm tired of "fighting the good fight" and feeling like shit. Either some Dr. is gonna help me, or I'm taking matters into my own hands which would probably be cheaper.

I'm gonna try to get him to go strait to injections rather than topical. I don't want that shit getting on the kids or wife.
I have skin lupus so I'm using that as an excuse.

We'll se what happens. I'm calling him tomorrow.

You need to complain about symptoms; low sex drive, tired all the time, cannot gain muscle mass, easily gain fat.

 

[PGHRam]

Thanks StoneCold.
I did complain about all of those thing to him, which are true. That's how I got him this far. I've done an EKG, lung capacity test, and blood work so far.

Anything else you can think of?

Have your tried SERM's like nolvadex etc?

When was your last cycle?

 

[PGHRam]

I've never touched anything. This is why I'm worried about it being so low.

 

[PGHRam]

Called the Dr.'s office today again to talk to the nurse. He said that the Dr. reviewed my blood work and wants to send me to an endo.
Called the endo today and made an appointment.

Another step closer I gess.

Low test will cause depression too.

 

[PGHRam]

Low test will cause depression too.

I hope it helps with that too. I'm going to the endo on 5/12.

 

[PGHRam]

Went to the endo. He sent me for more blood work. Checking LH, PSA, and some other things I can't remember.
He said he will do nothing for me if my "free" test levels came back normal.
Had the blood work done last Friday, so I'm waiting on the results.

 

[PGHRam]

Total test came back at 325, free test was 68.9, FSH was .8, LH was 1.3. Everything else was normal.

Question for The Anabolic Doc, what does this mean? My dr wants more blood work because he thinks the LH and FSH levels were lab errors. If they are correct, what does that mean for me? Anything?

Thanks.

 

[PGHRam]

Bump for the Anabolicdoc please.

I had a test done a couple of weeks ago. My test results were high but igf-1 low. My Dr did not recommend anything so I went to a specialist. It costs though. My test was 717 and they treated me to get it up alittle. I had depression issues and was tired of taking zoloft. Wanted to try something that would help all around.

bringing up a thread here, I just went in for all my testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) required blood work and my crappy doc did not know what igf-1 was I had to have him google it, then he denied me the PSA test because of my age 27, I am just trying to follow procedure for TRT. I will know the results of my blood tests that he did take soon, was wondering if I still qualify for testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) with out the igf-1 and psa blood work? I have the other needed blood work and physical.

Guess I will prolly have to ask him to refer me to an endo.
