My doctor seems uninterested in checking my vitamin d (I take 5000 iu daily. The last message I sent her was asking if she wanted me to have my vitamin D or any other tests done before my appointment on Friday. She seems pretty convinced it’s the testosterone despite not even testing my level...

@Nelson Vergel do you have any insight? I’ve been trying to find a study showing testosterone increases ALP. I’ve only been able to find studies showing men with low testosterone being treated with TRT and their ALP dropping.

Honestly, if your PCP isn’t willing to take over treatment you’ve been on for 6 years it might be time for a new PCP.

UPDATE: I finally got the results back from the specialized test. I have an in-person appointment with my PCP next Friday. What questions should I ask? I know she said based on this tests results she would test my testosterone level she says that can be a possibility if it’s too high and...

I agree my LDL was 114 on January 20th. It’s more than a 60% reduction in a few months.

Attached is my most recent lipid panel. The test results I shared earlier this afternoon signal it’s not a liver issue, but can be a bone or vitamin D deficiency thing which also points towards the Lipitor.

Just a weekend update: will probably have more testing on Tuesday.

That’s my primary care/local hospitals webpage option, you can also view it as a line chart, I love it too! EDIT. They out source a lot of their labs to quest diagnostics I just checked.

Here’s the recent results I started taking NAC 600mg twice daily between these last two tests.

Yeah, my primary care doctor kind of got me freaking out earlier saying it could be cancer or even the testosterone injections. I’m going in tomorrow for a specific test which will determine where I’m my body the ALP is coming from. From my research it’s odd that my ALT and AST isn’t elevated...

My ALP has been around 140 for the last two weeks. It was normal before Lipitor I started in February. My doctor is testing it because I want to go back on accutane. Is this normal? My total cholesterol is <100 now. I had a 60% drop in LDL on 10mg of Lipitor daily. EDIT: welp doctor called...

I’m honestly confused what’s going. It said on expressScripts site the interaction thing. But, deft contacted me saying the pharmacy wanted a copy of my medical records If the pharmacy starts limiting meds like this I’ll have to switch to Amazon pharmacy and have to start paying. I’m on 200mg...

Yeah man. This time around my pharmacy (expressscripts) is being a pain the ass delaying for defy to call them because the testosterone supposedly has potential to interact with metformin both of which I’ve been on for years. So, I’m out of meds for at least a week now
