Got Testosterone?

[WillBrink]

The free T is at 7.2, They didn’t test those other things. Crappy mood swings when I used to be as even keeled as they come, always tired, mental fog, practically no sex drive, no desire to get back to lifting/self improvement, cholesterol bad and overall shooting up, good dropping,

I hope the clinic and or endocrinologist is able to figure out what needs to be done to help get me on the right track and back to being healthy

In what ranges used on the test? Those others should be tested too. I'd also look at thyroid, and not just TSH, but that and T4, T3, and free T3.

8.7 to 25.1 for free (7.2)
264 to 916 for serum (417)

Will,

Interesting study. What do you recommend for headaches and other aches and pains instead of ibuprofen? Is Tylenol a good alternative or does it cause problems as well?

I'm not a fan of any of the NSAIDs as they are toxic long term. Occasional use is fine, some live on the NSAIDs. Don't do that. Aspirin is better for you as long as you don't have GI issues some get good effects from "natural" anti inflammatory agents. See:

And there you have it, your FT is right at the bottom of "normal." Many will feel like crap at "normal" when it's right at the bottom of the ranges and is sub-clinical low T.

You want it toward the upper end of the range, and the other tests may explain why it's low.

Just a spammer looking to bump up post count #. They seem to like to target my threads I have noticed over the years.

Well I just had more labs done a few weeks ago, met with the endocrinologist again today; I don’t have direct access to the results but my total T was 543. Dr says I’m good and don’t need TRT, everything else he tested was within normal ranges as well. Wants me to come back in January to see where everything is at then mainly because of the wild swings in such a short period of time. Starting to see a psychiatrist as well to cover all my bases as I’m sure the retiring from the military under the circumstances that it was is most likely messing with my head, among other things.

Then request a copy. You should always have a copy of your labs. If only total T was tested, and not free T or E2, does not give the full status.
