  1. Please help with my blood results - 26 yo male

    A single LH measurement is usually not reliable and should be ignored if it is not very high or very low, but your LH has come back low for the second time now. A pooled LH measurement (multiple measurements of LH in a short time frame) should be done. It would give an accurate picture of your...

  2. Labs tests in - Free T low - Need advice on what to do next

    Quest's vit b12 test ranges from 200-1100, so I guessed that it was the same with your test's range. Regardless, your homocysteine levels are high and approximately 50% of people with vit b12 deficiency have normal levels. Without the Methylmalonic acid test you can't know for sure...

  3. Labs tests in - Free T low - Need advice on what to do next

    Sorry that you are being abused by the medical community. You are definitely not alone. Basically, the endos you saw should have their license revoked. Especially the first one that prescribed you 2.5 grams a day. That is just ridiculous. Make sure you let everyone know how inept that doctor is...

  4. Going to endo in the morning. Janz/Matrix Advice?

    In general, I've found that endos will run a lot of blood work for you, but you better be FAR outside one of the normal ranges for them to even consider prescribing you anything (except for antidepressants and some vitamin D). All they know how to treat is diabetes and basic thyroid problems...

  5. Test Cyp & Accutane ok together?

    The accutane will probably cause no long term problems for you. It will also do it's job well. When I was 16, my dermatologist was very pro accutane. I came to find out that she herself used it to clear up her own stubborn acne. The skin on her face was absolutely perfect post-accutane. I would...

  6. Test Cyp & Accutane ok together?

    So, I'm assuming you have already tried Tazorac. Were you not able to tolerate the Tazorac, or was it simply ineffective?

  7. Please help with my blood results - 26 yo male

    Tell you doctor that want to have some of your hormones checked because your personal research has led you to believe that you might have endocrine problem. Explain to him your symptoms in detail. Tell him that you are mainly concerned with your testosterone, cortisol, and thyroid function. He...

  8. Please help with my blood results - 26 yo male

    You might as well get the A/G tested as soon as possible. It is probably nothing, but there is a small chance it is indicating a lack of immunoglobulins, which would need attention. If the test comes back high a second time, schedule an appointment with a hematologist or an immunologist and...

  9. Please help with my blood results - 26 yo male

    If you are having symptoms of low testosterone, then your numbers indicate that you probably have secondary hypogonadism (the LH test is highly variable though). However, good luck with finding a doctor willing to treat you. If you pursue trt, be prepared to see a handful of doctors (probably...

  10. Basic Thyroid Question

    TSH alone is not good enough. Type "TSH may not be a good marker for adequate thyroid hormone replacement therapy." in pubmed and print the abstract. Show it to her doctor. If the doctor ignores your concerns, find your wife a better doctor.

  11. High blood pressure

    For me, heavy weight lifting doesn't do a thing. Actually, the bigger I get the worse my blood pressure becomes. The only thing that has helped me bring it down is doing daily cardio (HIIT or steady state). For awhile I was taking a diuretic to lower it (which worked GREAT), but it left me so...

  12. Minoxidil and wrinkles

    I didn't notice much of anything from minoxidil. It didn't help or hurt me. Thanks for posting that link though. I was considering giving it another try sometime; now, I'll just stay away from it.

  13. How Do I Measure BAT?

    JansZ that is really interesting. The reason I stated otherwise is because of what Dr. John said in the sticky "Message Board Myths" (which you posted in) on the ATM forum. Are you saying that Crisler is incorrect here? He might be, but I would find it hard to believe that he doesn't know what's...

  14. How Do I Measure BAT?

    JansZ, I think you are forgetting that the total testosterone range at Labcorp is different than at Quest. Quest goes up to about 1100 whereas Labcorp goes to about 800. Therefore, you don't need your BAT levels when using Labcorp to be as high as when using Quest. Maybe shooting for a free...
