[QUOTE="GTSILVER, post: 278848, member: 45761"] Free Testosterone is what your body actually uses because it isn’t already “bound” to other things. Total Testosterone and Free Testostetone don’t have an actual reliable ratio to refer too. In other words, a very high Total reading doesn’t automatically provide a high Free Testosterone reading. However, it’s alway important not to exceed what’s normally recognized as the maximum level of Total Testosterone to take for your body, for example, 1500 or above is not sustainable and can cause unwanted side effects! Personally, I started TRT over 23 years ago at age 56 due to HYPOGONADISM. I am now age 69. If I don’t utilize TRT my Total Teststosterone goes down to levels between 20-90. In essence, this makes me “medically castrated!” Even worse, I have been seriously debilitated for about 30 years from CFS, CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME, FM, FIBROMYALGIA and CI, CHIARI MALFORMATION. Utilizing TRT measurably increases my normal wellbeing. If I am not utilizing TRT, my entire life falls apart reduced to total bedrest, home confinement with an increase in the severity of all my disability related symptoms. It’s a life saver for me. Regardless of the different levels we’ve tried on my Total Testosterone, (we aim to be at about a consistent 750-800), my levels of Free Testosterone are still lower than normal and frankly don’t change much for me unless I am off of TRT completely. You need to try different types of Testosterone in varying amounts and delivery systems to see what works best for you. There is no type of “T” or type of delivery system that works best for everybody or most people. With some time and patience, you’ll find what works best for you. It’s also important to have some fair and realistic expectations. TRT won’t solve all of your medical or physical woes but if used apparently, can provide a considerable improvement in your overall health and well-being.
