[QUOTE="johnt, post: 45593, member: 13643"] I want to my doctor for yearly physical. Prior to physical blood test was ordered for CBC, Lipids, Metabolic Panel, etc. Everything looked good. I'm 46. At physical I complained of difficulty losing weight even though I am working out 4 to 5 days per week. I would not describe myself as fat but have a gut that all of a sudden is hard to lose. Also, very irritable lately and moody. I asked doc about running Hormone panel. Doc only wanted to run TSH. I was able to convince to run Total Testosterone as she would not run Free. The reason she gave was that I really do not have low T symptoms since I am not complaining of libido/erection and fatigue. I viewed results online today. Total Testosterone is 266 (Quest notes optimal range between 250 - 827). And the TSH w.Reflex to FT4 (not sure what the heck that means) is 1.87 (optimal is 0.40 - 4.50). I know this is extremely limited info. Any thoughts? I am hoping this will convince her to run full panel otherwise I guess I will go to Life Extension or use Discount Labs to run my own blood test.
