Getting genomic testing to make sure. I have decided on Cyberknife, as one of the foremost practitioners is right here on Long Island, and it is only 5 sessions with minimal downtime and minimal side effects.

I started out back in 2014 with my PSA at 1.4. I was 59 and my testosterone level was 150. So, I went to a TRT clinic and I started at 100 mg per week. I eventually adjusted to 60mg per week, a very low dosage, but it got my testosterone up around 600 and I felt fine. My PSA jumped to 2.2, but...

Amen to that. Reading every book and article and getting anecdotal info from people as to what treatment I should choose has been even more anxiety producing.

Yes--that or riding a bike or motorcycle for a long time up to 48 hours before or ejaculating up to 48 hours before can all benignly raise your PSA.

Well, my fortunes have certainly changed since my previous post from 2014 on this thread. I had a fluctuating PSA for over a year. 2.5 to 6.1 and back down and back up. I'm 65. My Urologist finally ordered an MRI for me. Unfortunately, it came back with 3 spots, one with a PIRADS 4 and two with...

Well, I DO have sleep apnea, but had it well before starting TRT, and I use a CPAP religiously every night. I also have hypothyroidism, and,again, that was the first thing I was diagnosed with, before hypogonadism. My doctor put me on Thyroid meds, which corrected that rather quickly, but my T...

I had the same thing in terms of it happening in reverse. Mine sat around 45-47 for 5 years until just recently, I got three consecutive readings over 51. No change in dosage, no change in BW or any of that, practically the same exact workout as before, I've been drinking a gallon of water for...

Oh, yes, absolutely, but if I'd been any more hydrated for that blood pull I would have floated away.

Thank you. My HCT was 52 and my Hg was slightly high at 17.0. 3 times that would be 51, so it's in the ballpark.

I had a similar issue just recently. At least I THINK it's similar. My HCT was elevated slightly for the first time in 6 years of TRT. However, my B12 was low. Sort of confusing. If I supplement B12, will that send my HCT even higher? And if I donate blood will that drive my B12 even lower? Or...

Did you ride a bike and/or have sex within 48 hours of the blood being drawn? I had done both (not simultaneously, I am not that talented) and my last test showed an increase from 1.5 to 3.0. We waited 2 weeks, I stayed off the bike, abstained from anything sexual for 48 hours prior to the test...

How much does it cost per vial?

Thanks, Nelson.

So, what is the verdict? Should those of us on TRT also supplement DHEA, or should we ask our providers to test levels first and then look into supplementation? I am speaking both from a perspective of the usual factors we address through TRT and as someone who is a "bodybuilder" of sorts.
