Guest guest Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Hey guys...I'm new to this low T thing and I've read the white paper that is referenced in the emails and it is very enlightning...but has caused me some worry. I'm 49 soon to be 50. I went to the doc about 4 months ago...feeling bla, low sex drive, difficulties getting arroused....he wanted to do lab work to see how my test. level was...he said it was below 200 and asked if i wanted to use a testosterone gel or shot...i thought the shot would be a better choice because I didn't want to " gel " up and deal with it on a daily basis...not really knowing what i was getting into. (lesson for others..know what your getting into -- i didn't know it would be for life). He wanted me to do 100 mg every 2 weeks...after a month of that and reading up on it, I decided to change to 75mg every 7 or 8 days... Anyway, i've been waiting for a followup lab work test to see what's going on and since i' never looked at the original labs...just took from the doc. what i needed...the t worked..i have great energy, get morning wood (and it had been a while)...and jerk off or have sex daily now...I do think my nuts are a bit smaller than they were but my dick looks bigger (maybe it's just my imagination)...anyway, I've also gone from 277 lbs to 247 lbs in the past 3 months...combination of weight watchers, more energy, and excersize...I'm built real solid and now my belly is flat (i look and feel 10 years younger).... Anyway, i got the lab work back (and asked for the actual results to send to the group)...i had asked if he requested the estrodial levels or the free T levels and the nurse said he only needed the full T level and a Panel (?)..not knowing what that was i went along with it.... Here are my results: lab work was done 2 days after my injection of T. glucose 94 Potassioum 4.8 sodium 139 chloride 104 CO2 33 Calcium 9.2 urea nitrogen 12 creatinine 1.2 bun/creatinine ratio 10 total protein 7 albumin 3.8 globulin 3.2 a/g ratio 1.2 total bilirubin 1.5 (abnor: H) Alkaline phosphatase 38.0 (abnor: H) AST/sgot 33 ALT/SGPT 33 PSA 0.28 Testosterone, total, males 2269 (abn: H).....normal range 241 - 827 he said to take the 100mg shot once a month insead of every 2 weeks...I asked if I could do 25 every week so i don't peak and valley...he will get back to me on that (via the nurse). He wants to see me in May for more blood work..... what do you all think...i wish i knew what my original t was...but this is now super high ...should i be worried?...i know I can't just stop using it... suggestions? thanks Bill ________________________________ From: philip georgian <pmgamer18@...> Sent: Thu, November 11, 2010 1:56:03 PM Subject: Re: Re: Heading to the docs (UK) this week and could use some advice please...  It's hard to say low T means weak muscles and this can mess with ones balance.
