Question about Testosterone Therapy

[Guest guest]

Hello, new to the group and am looking for some advice.

A little background info. I'm 37. I was diagnosed with testicular cancer in

December of '05. I had my right testicle removed and preventive radiation

therapy.

A year ago, I had my testosterone levels checked by my regular doctor because I

was noticing some of the common symptoms of low T; fatigue, low sex drive,

problems gaining muscle mass (I'm an avid weight lifter).

My levels came back as total T of 246 ng/dL. My doctor said those are on the low

side but lets try another blood test in a couple of months to see if the levels

are different. 2 months later I had another blood test and this time it came

back total T of 331 ng/dl and free T of 14.2 ng/dl. My doctor said those are

" normal " levels and not to worry about it. I never pursued it any further

because he wasn't going to do anything for me.

Last week I had my annual checkup with my Urologist and showed him my results

from a yr ago and told him my symptoms. He said they are low but still " normal "

but lets get another test as long as I'm already getting blood work done. I got

the results yesterday and he said I'm @ 320 ng/dL total T. Again, he stated they

are low but still considered normal (250 - 1000 ng/dL being normal) and that he

doesn't recommend TRT.

Judging from some of the charts I've seen online I have the T level of a 85 yr

old! I really want to pursue this because I feel like garbage even though I lead

a pretty healthy lifestyle; diet, exercise, etc.

Does anybody have any advice? Should I see a Endocrinologist or a different type

of doctor? Does anybody have any recommendations for a doctor familiar with TRT

in the West Michigan area?

FWIW, I know of allthingsmale.com and they are in Lansing but it is WAY too

expensive.

Thanks!
