[QUOTE="tcmi, post: 212116, member: 31798"] I, too, have low SHBG tested through years of labs (usually 10-15). No metabolic syndrome, no diabetes, etc. Very good health overall, lean, low body fat, low inflammation, etc. In experimenting over the years, I found that I subjectively felt better with frequent injections - more stable I suppose. Here's what I know about being on TRT. Before I started, despite several years of working out (much of that time with a trainer), using protein powder/shakes, etc., I had an inability to gain muscle and relatively low endurance. My body fat with Dexa was ~24%. After being on TRT for a few years, much better endurance and much better ability to gain muscle, lower resting heart rate, etc. While staying at the same weight the whole time (~190-195), my body fat dropped to about 12% (Dexa). Which means I converted about 23 lbs of fat to muscle. That -objectively- didn't happen without TRT. Further, due to recent surgery for prostate cancer, I stopped TRT entirely for about 6-7 weeks. About three weeks into that period, I could absolutely feel a sharp drop in energy, felt much more tired, etc. Does TRT make me feel super fantastic 24/7 and solve the world's problems? No. But it has definitely, objectively, improved my overall health. [/QUOTE]
