Did you reduce dose and will you donate again? Your values were really up there.I did donate. When they tested at the blood center I had a 55 which has down 3.5 points from when my doctor tested me 2 weeks before. I am not going to test again until July 15th. I think this will work itself out, especially after testing.
Oh ok, I missed that you already dropped dose once. Hopefully that does it.No, as I mentioned I think my problem was my original dose of 200mg/10 days cause this. I tested 5 week after starting that dose and had a T level of 2103 so I dropped to 100mg/10 days and got 831 a few weeks later. But also got high Red blood cell count when I tested. I am going to wait until I see my PC in July to determine what to do from there, if anything.
I know the feeling. I have ENT doc and GI doc for LPR, pulmonologist for sarcoidosis, TRT nonsense like this, etc all happening as well. Life hasn't been pleasant recently.Hope so too!. I have enough health related issues on my plate to deal with. All of the I seem to be falling apart and never knew it. In the 1st week of June, The Texas Vein Clinic, next day my new cardiologist to do a stress test and nuclear test, the next day a new orthopedic doctor to look at my worn out shoulders. I use to never see doctors for anything.
@Nelson Vergel, sorry I missed this one. My regiments 40mg every 5 days. I just took my prescribed dose of 80mg every 10 days and split it hoping it would help. I can't say for sure but I don't think my cardiologist is too fond of TRT. Dr, George Mammen. But he has never told me to stop. I guess he know I will walk out. My regular doctor is Hector Ubaldo. My blood pressure depends on when it is take but is usually around 126/68.I am glad you had access to metoprolol.
I also have used Gulf Coast Regional. I would show up there with a copy of your doctor's order. The order is good for 2 years.
Please remind me (so that I do not have to scroll) your TRT regimen. How is your blood pressure? Who is your doctor?
Many cardiologists are not TRT friendly. I see the cardiologist that all of Lipshultz' guys see. He is not against TRT but will for sure have a problem with a hematocrit of 60.
