Well I met with a new doctor today and it went much better. He was very open minded into looking for root causes. Matrix I'll be PMing you shortly with more information.
Well I had a very frustrating doctor appointment recently. I had to visit a new PCP thats related to my current health insurance and he was condescending and trying to argue with me that I didn't actually have a problem without even having my medical records yet. He cited that I had a beard and...
First off, sorry, I try to separate this into paragraphs and the board keeps bunching everything up.Ok guys first update in a while, I've been focusing on studies this fall but I do have an update.I decided to run clomid at 15mg EOD this quarter to see if it could improve mood/wellbeing etc. I...
Bump: Well I have moved away for school again, and I decided to do a privatemdlabs blood draw to see where I was at, since my last draw showed 275 or so test, and first thing am i am usually 340-380. I basically wanted to see if the last draw was a fluke due to a vacation beforehand, or things...
Update: Had a follow up to sleep study and MRI with my endo. He was surprised I didn't have sleep apnea since my hemoglobin was high, and wants to send me to a hematologist consult (he wrote the word polycythemia, I don't know what that is.) He also wants me to do a bone density test, I think he...
Update: MRI scan shows that my pituitary is normal. The scan also showed some cysts/polyps in my sinuses, which makes sense, i feel like i am chronically stuffy.

Update: So i saw the urologist today. He basically took down all of my symptoms and checked for structural problems (varicocele, etc). I showed him the bloodwork from my primary care doctor showing low testosterone. He referred me to both an endocrinologist and a gastroenterologist for the...
Update: I found out one of my parents has always had bilirubin usually above range as well. I think I might have Gilbert's after hearing this, but my other parent isn't sure if they have it and it sounds like it is recessive. I will be sure to bring this up with the urologist, first appointment...
