[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 144526, member: 15832"] The majority of doctors (endocrinologists & urologists) aren't knowledgeable in this area of medicine, few doctors know what labs to order or know how to interpret lab values and few specialize in this area of medicine. Your SHBG levels going from low normal to high normal levels can affect your Free T by 50%, Free T is where the rubber meets the road, it is the bioavailable portion of testosterone circulating in the blood. Total T is not bioavailable because it is bound to SHBG rending it unavailable to your bodies tissues. Chances are no matter which doctor you see, they will all be inexperienced and are operating in the dark. Your best bet is to seek a doctor who specialized in sex hormone therapies in anti-aging and sports medicine. I'm on TRT and recently scored a 406 Total T and Free T 16 (ranges 6.8-21.5) and while things weren't too bad, I did have low energy, poor sleep and scatterbrained throughout the day. My symptoms of low testosterone disappear when Free T is high normal. [B][U]Tests needed:[/U][/B] Total T Free T SHBG Estradiol Sensitive (E2) LH-Luteinizing Hormone FSH-Follicle stimulating hormone Prolactin Cortisol Ferritin Thyroid Panel CBC-complete blood count Comprehensive Metabolic Panel Lipid profile/panel [/QUOTE]
