what are all the important things to be included in blood test for TRT???
Finally found afordable blood work and need to know ALL the things that should be included in my hormone panel. One person said sometime ago on here that I should get a female test and specify I am male but this test includes important tests that the male panel would not include??? Anyone know about this and what those tests might be? Also if anyone has a solid list of EVERYTHING I should be getting tested for please let me know..... Thanks! Much appreciated and long overdue! Been pinning .375 test c every three days for 8 months and no Al's or hcg or anything else to work along side of the test c and started having very oily hair and skin. some bad pimples broke out.... still struggling with erectile dysfunction and needing the "C" pills or the "V" pills for help maintaining solid erections..... I stopped all injections 9/1/14 and going tomorrow morning for first complete blood test and want to know EVERYTHING I should be having looked at from an experienced point of view... Doctor is sold out on all i need is test c and no other meds??? No Al's.....No hcg....No nothing! He wants me taking .375 test c every two weeks!!! Just need to get this straightened out once and for all man.... Tired of feeling like shit.... PLEASE HELP......

Dude what you need is a new doctor is he an endoconologist or a general physician
Yeah thats what I have been looking into but its so damn expensive man! I have been seeing my primary care doctor because its cheap and I have no insurance but I have heard that I should be seeing an endocrinologist...... Either way I am moving forward with getting a complete blood work done..... I should have the results in the next day or two.... Ill post them and get some opinions from you pros..... I know the primary care doctor is not the answer!! I have heard the identical nightmare stories from countless other members sharing my same exact story..... Im just hoping to get something straightened out here real soon.
Way too many things to write here. Ask for a full spectrum blood analysis/test. This will cover everything from your thyroids to your gonads. ".375 test c x 3"!? Something is wrong here. I take a 2,000mg. shot of a test blend and erections are so hard the actually hurt!!! I only take the shot once a month and I take nothing else. It has to be your dose.
There are quite a few things off here.
Every question you've asked, there has been hundreds of posts about. Use the search function and search them out and if you still have questions, then post them up. Way too many things to tackle in one post here.
Also, you're under a doctors care, so why not follow what he says? It sounds like you went off the reservation, without any knowledge about how to do things, and now you're having issues. Just start by doing what your doctor says, doing some research (quite a bit) and then most of your questions will be answered.
Not real familiar with how all this works bro....Im not a cycling and lifting and building. I have been under doctors care for almost a year and UMMMMM ..... pretty obvious the doctor has no knowledge of alternative medicines and any interests in helping out with using different meds??? Maybe thats why I asked for some "friendly advice" I didnt go off reservation without any knowledge about how to do things either....I even told my doctor I was taking much higher doses as recommended from a male wellness program when all this started, He said I should be careful and get blood work asap to monitor things but has no intention of letting me use Al's or HCG ??? I simply took another members advice on raising my test c dosage and splitting it up in smaller quantities pinning closer together to maintain more constant levels of test....????? I have researched a little hear and there and unfortunately im no scholar of medicines and drugs buddy.... I dont learn well from reading and studying. I am a real hands on kind of guy and if someone shows me or explains things to me I pick up alot quicker and easier. I suffer with adult adhd too.... give me a motor or appliance thats broken and ill fix it but it wont be from researching and studying about it...I'll tear it apart and figure it out. Several other members were very kind and offered much advise and shared their knowledge and experiences with TRT therapy the last times I posted on here and just thought maybe I would get the same results as last time??? Nothings off here buddy but your attitude man??? I simply asked for some friendly advice or suggestions? Didnt mean to ruffle your feathers there big guy..... GEEZ!!! I got my blood work done but doubt I would even want to hear what you have to say about it with this sort of response to a very simple question. Just wanted to know what specifically should be tested with someone in my circumstance. more then one member offered suggestions last time and I couldnt find the responses from them let alone "research" other forums and "study" that info..... sorry to have troubled you you vhman..........
Most of this response is what me/we wanted to see in the first place (except for the whining part). You came off as "give me all the answers" in your original post. There's no need to get your panties in a bunch now. I'm not sure what upset you in my post. I said do some research and come back and we'd be happy to help if we knew you gave a crap and had put in some work. Seems fair, right?
You did deviate from what the doctor said, by listening to someone (?), which didn't work out. What's not true about that.
Second, no one here is a doctor and we have no idea how good or bad your doctor is. Most doctors don't know anything about AI's or HCG. If you don't like your doctor, you need to get a new PCP or an Endo.
I'm not sure what to tell you here. We're on the internet and all we have is reading and research, so you'll have to adjust somehow. If you still want help, it's up to you, but we can't change the form in which it comes.
Oh yeah and my balls are shriveling up too!!! About the size of freaking almonds!!! HELP!
