Test Results and Feedback?

I gave blood today. The nurse said my blood was 1 point away from being oil "like" and they wouldn't accept it. Should I feel any different since giving blood?

I've never heard "oil like" being used to describe blood, it makes sense I guess. When she says 1 point away, does she mean ".1' or "1" point away? They usually measure HGB. Probably was 17 something?

I usually feel kinda weak the day I donate, will get orthostatic hypotension easier that day, and my chest will kinda feel weak like when you exercise after not exercising for a long time. It's and odd feeling, but nothing too drastic.

I donated blood last week and I do feel a little better.

I contacted my current PCP, who put me on TRT back in August, and he switched me over to cream. I am applying 1ml daily. The negative side effects from the injections stopped as soon as I applied the cream. I don't have any thumping in my chest, the pressure on the left side of my face is gone and my anxiety too.

In 4 weeks we are going to run blood test to see where I am. Hope my skin absorbs well and I can get this figured out.

I have an update to my update.

I am now one and a half weeks on my T Cream and I feel great! No more pounding chest, sleepless nights, pressure on the right side of my face and anxiety. Morning wood officially back this morning!

I will have my blood tested in 3 weeks to see how I am doing.

I was discouraged, but y'all helped me and I appreciate it!

I'm glad to hear you are doing well. Topical testosterone is a rational first choice of treatment; it seems as if you are one of those men who respond well to it. We certainly wish you all the best. Please remember that this is a long-distance journey; you may encounter other bumps along the way. Keep focused and you'll do fine.
