Thanks, Vince. I will look into seeing an Endo. (I had my annual physical the other day, and the GP said it was unnecessary to have a prostate exam. On the one hand I was happy to hear this (!) but on the other I wonder if that protocol applies to those on TRT. I asked the GP about this, and he...

Thanks for your reply. Do you think that the lab test of 580 total T after four months of being off TRT was a fluke? 340 seems to be my norm when off TRT, but maybe that's because of relative lack of sleep. I wouldn't mind having 580 as my baseline, although I think the free T level that came...
