A few years ago I had my primary care doc at the VA get me tested for low testosterone. Results came back low, 175. Endo wouldn't even see me, they said I was not low enough, even though I had multiple symptoms of hypogonadism. Up until that point the VA had been very good at giving me pills for...

Hi guys, Here's my latest lab results. Any idea why my free t4 is so low while free t3 looks ok? Currently taking 180mgs daily in divided doses. I was hoping to ask my Doc for increase in Armour thyroid meds but not sure if he's going to agree. Just looking for any info I might be able to take...

Here's latest labs. Don't know why the increase in testosterone, but my doc said not to worry about it for now since I do feel ok, no adverse reaction to it being up kinda high. He gave me Anastrozole for the slight increase in Estradiol, so I will be taking .5mg once weekly. Also looks like I...

Hi Nelson, Tell me about it, yeah I thought when I first started HRT that I would actually be able to stop taking/needing the blood pressure and cholesterol meds, but it seems like I take more pills now than ever. I'm 47, 5'6" and 230lbs. Size 38/40 waist. All my excess weight is right there in...

Thanks Chris and Nelson for getting back to me, the help is really appreciated. Let's see here, nah not worried about being judged, my problem is that I can't stay focused long enough to get my words down on paper. I'm 47 yrs old, 5' 6" and weigh 230 lbs. I still do cardio 4 times a week even...

P.S. I'm also on HRT as well as HCG and Cialis Mark

Hi Guys, Just wondering if I can get some info/feedback on latest labs? Just started Armour in August. Doc has slowly increased to 120mg daily in divided doses. I'm wondering though if I need more Armour, or even add in some HC? I did the Adrenal Saliva test awhile back and it shows morning...

Hey everyone, how's it going? My name is Mark, I'm from San Antonio, Tx. Been lurking here as well as a few other forums trying to educate myself on this whole TRT thing. I'm a disabled veteran, also on medicare. I've been battling with the VA for a couple years now but with blood work...
