Hi Everyone, I really need some help with this one.
Thanks in advance for everyone's support on this and for all the support in the past from forum members.
White male - 38 years old - Bodybuilding & some power lifting steady since I was 16. Non smoker, non drinker, no junk food.
Visit to the doctors two months ago - Ottawa, Canada. My Doc's on vacation. New doctor - a Resident who went to school in Bangladesh - less than two months on the job. Told her my symptom's - said I think I have low hormone issues. She laughed at me "so your diagnosing yourself now...". Laugh's some more as I explain my symptoms - explain I had surgery for bilateral torsion testicles when I was 16. Got blood work done - RESULTS ATTACHED.
Back to Doc's yesterday. Another very new doc., a resident who's at the clinic 1 day a week; on the job 4 weeks. He took a look at my test results and agreed we need to deal with the low testosterone results & he was impressed with my knowledge on the subject - but first he has to talk to his supervisor.
Supervisor ordered 2 hour Glucose test. Said below normal testosterone levels and no sex drive not an issue... no sex drive may be a result of Glucose related results. A 3% over normal for Glucose result may be the issue but my Testosterone results of 4.9 nmol/L when the range is 7.6 to 31.4 nmol/L and Free Testosterone results of 21.8 nmol/L in the range of 31 to 94 nmol/L for 19 to 39 old's is not an issue?
Any help on understanding my blood test results would be really appreciated. My Creatinine levels have been high for 8 years - kidney doc said your fine, your results are a result of higher then normal muscle mass.
They could not find my Bio-available Testosterone results - which I had to pay cash for. Still waiting for Bio-available results.
It really is challenging finding a knowledgeable doctor who is willing to take the time to go through everything with you... I hope someone can give me some directions that I can pass on to my doc when I go back next month.
Thanks,
Dave
