  1. Polycythemia?

    Yeah I'm 18.6 and 56.2 now and have to stop. I asked about having some blood drawn off, but the endo said no. She's referring me to a hematology oncologist now. All part of the medical conspiracy I think. No TRT for a month.... oh joy. Question: Once TRT has to be withheld, it that a...

  2. Am I alone in feeling embarassment and even worse if I need TRT?

    Anytime our bodies fail us it's a hard blow to our self esteem. I have to agree with the others that this is in some ways no different than cancer or heart disease in that it's a problem that needs to be treated and thankfully can be treated. With that said if you feel like less of a person...

  3. Polycythemia?

    I found this on my recent labs and was wondering how bad this is? RBC 6.26 x10/6 normal 4.4 - 5.9 HGB 18.8 G/DL normal 13.0 - 17.3 HCT 54.6 % normal 39% - 52% The rest of the CBC is in the normal range. I'm currently getting 1cc Depo T IM in the hip weekly. Serum Testosterone is 612 as of...

  4. Open Apology

    Right now $220 might as well be 20 grand. I know that's pathetic, but I'm broke man. Luckily my wife's insurance has a low copay or I'd be really screwed. Thats why I'm kinda at my docs mercy.

  5. Open Apology

    I want to apologize for behaving rudely in my response to posts about my issue with hypogonadism and fatigue. You all were attempting to help me by providing some new ideas and I stupidly lashed out for no good reason. While I don't think it will be helpful for me to go and demand a whole...

  6. Low T and Chronic Fatigue

    Well if I remember right they did do a cortisol test a long time ago. Had to pee in a jug for a day... I don't have #'s but they said no problem. I'm not really looking for a fix here. There are no easy fixes and sorry I don't trust play Dr's. And it's not like my Dr. is going to run a...

  7. Low T and Chronic Fatigue

    ***Let me tell you about achy joints man. My energy level crashes several times everyday and when I get too tired my wrists, rt ankle and lower back ache like I've been beaten with a baseball bat. After I sleep a couple hours or so the ache goes away for awhile. Also day or two before my...

  9. Low T and Chronic Fatigue

    Hi All, I've been fighting the low T, and chronic fatigue for a couple of years now. Additionally I've have been treated on and off for depression for about 10 years now. I'm a 37 white male and healthy other than for the hypogonadism, depression and fatigue. I started out on compounded T...
