Hi everyone,
It's been a number of years, and I am revisiting my old thread. I am wondering if anyone knows of a good TRT doctor in Ottawa that I can consult regarding TRT.
Many thanks.
Hi CoastWatcher,
I hope all is well. I do not believe I saw this last post. Shamefully, I did very little on these issues in the last 2.5 years. I was investigating other health issues over this time, and life happened. To update:
1) See attached for the Bone Mineral Density test (April 2017)...
Had the follow-up appointment. If I can recall correctly, here is what was said:
- re DHEA - She said there is no point because my E2 is not that high.
- re thyroid antibodies - she said she tested all what she could.
- re the elevated LH - she said it is not that high. It's more...
Oh that is right. Sorry- Attention, focus, memory, sleep, etc still crap. Sort of like I am on auto-pilot or not fully there. Apologies.
Alright, I will report back tomorrow. Although, I am starting to lose faith that testosterone or estradiol is the problem, at least cognitively. Perhaps the...
I understood that my E2 was deadly low though?
Edit: I forgot - E2 tests in Canada over estimate the E2 levels. Most recent was 66, so it is probably lower. So I guess that is probably not an issue either. Hmm.
Hey CoastWatcher,
I saw your reply, and forgot to reply to it when I said to myself that I would reply later... oops.
To everyone who still follows this thread:
My follow-up appointment is tomorrow. I will bring up the low E2 and inquire as to why my LH is high, yet testosterone is normal...
DHEA sulfate? How do I test my DHEA sulfate? Dr. Saya, what is your opinion on my situation?
@Coastwatcher - I'll probably have to look up your endocrinologist recommendation here in Ottawa as the endocrinologist I saw said my E2 levels (the first blood test) were normal.
Can anyone share...
Update: Sleep study won't happen until March 3rd, so I will have to delay my follow-up with the endocrinologist.
If my E2 levels are dangerously low, has anyone had successful with E2 treatment? I am assuming the testosterone levels are normal, and not really a cause of anything (except the...
Can I conclude that I do not have low testosterone?
1) I need to have that sleep study done. If I have sleep apnea, then all of this will be solved.
2) E2 may describe the cognitive problems, but does not explain why I cannot add muscle or even get stronger. Perhaps it is just who I am, and I...
I am 25, not 30. Not much of an age difference anyways. This has been going on my whole life.
So then it is normal for men to go in and out of a state of hypogonadism. I find that is abnormal.
