[QUOTE="Phil Goodman, post: 204549, member: 42777"] Yeah, you always see the importance of patience being hammered, but not so much about levels of vitamins and minerals. I’ve lifted and eaten good for 10+ years(11 is technically 10+) and also try to make sure my vitamins and minerals are on point. Got annual physicals forever and never had anything that looked troublesome. I didn’t get one last year for pretty obvious reasons but plan to get one soon. I planned to wait about three months so that I’m at least somewhat settled in to my protocol, but would be interested to see if people think I should do it as soon as possible to get a picture before the bigger imapacts of therapy start taking shape. And on that note I go in about five weeks for labs through my clinic, but they only request total and free T at this point. I can test for anything, but obviously the more I test the more I spend. Don’t have a problem with the money though, especially at this point when I want to capture a decent snapshot early in the process. So I’m certainly open to suggestions about what I should test. This would mainly be hormone-wise, as I will request extensive tests at my physical which insurance will/should cover. Only thing that was tested before treatment was FSH, LH, free and total T, and PSA. Everything was good except total T which was basically at the very bottom of the range(assuming from high SHBG which I plan to test during my next round). [/QUOTE]
