Here is my lab work of being in 200mg per week for the last 26 weeks. Don’t understand while it only came back at the bottom end.
Is there anything at all you might have forgotten to tell us? Have you been dietiing hard or using things like t3/clen?
Do you have any underlying medical things going on, including headspace stuff that might see you taking tranqs or anti-d's? Anything at all? Including heavy recreational stuff.
Did the doctor discuss your thyroid levels at all?
My diets has been pretty clean. Lots of chicken and lots of eggs. Brown rice and sweet potatoes for the past few months. Cheat meals at least one a week.
The only other mess I take is a have meloxicam or something like that for arthritis.
Don’t take drugs at all or else I could lose my job.
No doc hasn’t told me anything about my thyroid.
Ok dude,
Well this is what I see
1. Your blood sugar is a decent bit below. I get hypo at 70 and you were at 64.
Symptoms:
You have low TSH and low T4. By low I mean bottom quarter of the reference range listed. Optimal would be somewhere around 1.3/1.5 to 2 for TSH and from 1.2-1.3 for t4. Below optimal tsh and below optimal T4 can indicate that the pit isnt receiving the info it needs to crank out tsh, or the pit isnt working properly. Adrenals can influence. Alternatively, we should look at T3 as thats where the rubber meets the road. I think you need a full Thyroid panel including T3, Ft3, Rt3, andtibodies, binding globulin. (overkill, but could defferentiate between a thyroid and an adrenal issue if either were to exist).
Your sodium is high. Intake too high? Dehydrated? Either way, there is an imbalance in your electrolytes, what with potassium being in the lower half of the range.
All of these things combined are enough to make anyone feel sh!tty. You listed the symptoms as low testo symptoms, yet those same symptoms (other than T bloods) are also indicative of hypoglycaemia, adrenals, or hypothyroid, or electrolyte imbalances. But you actually seem to have a bit of an issue with all of these. Problem is, these systems are all interconnected with guess what.... testo.
I am glad your diet is good and I am glad that you're only using an anti-inflamatory, but you should know that some nsaid's can affect thyroid metabolism/function. I have read + and also -, so either could be bad, for example, low thyroid then reduced makes issue worse, normal thyroid reduced causes hypo, high thyroid reduced now looks normal and so on... just something to look into yourself given the medication you are on...
Mate, you should really consider an endocrinologist, or holistic hormones person. This is fast becoming my canned response when I see results like this coupled with the feeling sh!tty symptoms you mention. Ideally you would be speaking with someone who can address; TRT, Adrenals, Thyroid, and also your blood glucose (you should really start monitoring that yourself before meeting another doc, a meter is cheap as chips and its an easy thing to do with the meter logging the results)
Thanks for all the input brother! I appreciate the lead in direction. If my insurance wasn’t so crappy I would have stayed at the LOW T CENTER. I can’t afford $250 per month to go there. So I guess I need to look around to see if I can maybe find a better doctor or figure out if I have a thyroid issue.
Thanks so much for trying to help me figure out what is going on. Family doctors only care about you being in that normal range and not how you feel.
Best of luck pal
Wonder if OP has a plug of 6000 mg of Test C in his butt cheek that's just waiting to bust loose.
How many days from your last pin was this? I would do twice a week pins for trt
This is what doc told me. 7 Days from last injection.
I know I had to donate a lot of blood not sure on the time but it was like a pint a week for 4 weeks to get my hemoglobin levels into the normal range. Not sure if this would effect it. Doc told me it wouldn’t. I haven’t donated blood in over a month now but I need to go back to get my hemoglobin checked again to make sure it’s still in range.
So its one dose a week and what day did you pull ?
Perscribed test or what lab ? Looks like your test is bunk
No need to frontload just waste your test
Yea I went to once weekly to see how much it would change since the last bloods were taken. I think last to
E bloods were taking it was around 375. So the weekly injections made it drop. Now going back to 2x wk spilt the dosage.
This is Watson brand from Walgreens.
I did a little digging and only thing I could find about someone being in 200mg per week and being this low was I could have a high drug metabolism. Dunno if that’s the case or not but when the average person is only taking half of what I’m taking and is in the 700 range something is going on.
My work out partner is 62, he only takes 100mg per wk and he stays around the 650 range.
doesn't make since....
if the glove does not fit you must acquit.
did you ever do bloods when you were on cycle?
No I never did on my last cycle I just went by feeling when I was on. I haven’t been on anything in a little over a year except what doc prescribes me.
See I told you I was not lien about my blood work it is that low and I am taking 200mg per wk. I’m going to try and split the dosage 2x per week again and see if it helps. Thought maybe I may add a extra cc to possibly front load like if it was a cycle. I’ve been on this dose for 28 weeks now. Dunno how long the body takes to build the year up but I figured it should be up there by now
