Morning All,
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I have been battling the symptoms of Low T for a while now.
I was first tested in 2015 following a few visits to GP to complain about my symptoms; Low libido, lack of energy, lethargy etc.
The GP tested me and told me I was "Within Range" and that was the end of that.
I went away disheartened but tried a few things:
Changed diet - No improvement in symptoms
Worked out more - no improvement in symptoms
Worked out less - no improvement in symptoms
Added heaps of fresh fruit to diet - no improvement in symptoms.
Steadily things got worse, now I have no libido at all, ED, limited (very) short term memory and brain fog etc.
March 17, following a few more GP visits, I was told that my 2015 bloods showed test at 11. GP agreed to retest me and I came in at 6 (LH was 2.1, everything else was "fine" that's all I remember). GP referred me to an Endo who was great and sent me for an MRI and Bloods... here's where it gets interesting.
My bloods came back today, still waiting for MRI results, but my Test is now at 15.5. As if by magic, it has suddenly almost tripled and I have no idea why. Endo says everything else is within range but he'll discuss it with me and re-test me when I next visit in July.
I'm suddenly really down about this, although its come back normal, it really knocked me for 6 knowing that just as I was about to get the treatment I've begged for, its suddenly not needed apparently.
Can anyone shed any light on why this may have suddenly happened? with no changes in ANYTHING?
Many Thanks
