I finally found a Dr. willing to put me on TRT.
My levels were:
Total T = 297 (LabCorps range 241 – 827)
Free T = 11 (LabCorps range 7.2 – 24.0)
Sept 12th I started on Androderm patch 2.5 mg at night and 25 mg DHEA breakfast & lunch.
Went in for follow up labs Nov 20.
Total T = 1009
Free T = 25.8
WTF !!!
I feel only marginally better than when I started.
Morning erections maybe 1 – 2 per week
Libido still in the pit
Still having problems managing my pot belly (lifting 3xweek, cardio 2x week) no change in waist line although I do feel I’ve had some upper body recomp.
Diet is average not clean but I watch what & how much I eat (just not fanatic about it).
Now I’m afraid that she will take me off since the levels are so high and I’ll be back where I started.
Any thoughts on this and what I should speak with her about when I see her next week?
Don’t know E levels as she didn’t think it was a valid test for men.
I did the test fasting (she was checking some other things) and with my patch from the prior night still on.
