Thanks so much for all the encouragement and advice. I actually was able to get an appt with a doctor in my town this morning who seemed open to testing for the stuff that Gene listed. His office is near my gym and I just walked in yesterday before doing my workout and he happened to be chatting with the receptionists and I was able to tell him my story and problems and he said he couldn't promise anything, but he's be happy to draw blood and check for these things and try to figure out what's going on, but if he couldn't that the endo appt I have on Aug 24 should be helpful and at least I'd have some up to date labs to compare with the endo. Thanks again. I'll keep you guys updated...
Just to give a fuller picture of the timing of all this:
May 8 - started Testim with a number of 281
June 6 - after blood test 1 month on Testim numbers down to 226, doc instructed to go up to 2 tubes
After still feeling horrible, we moved to cypionate shots on 6/16
June 16- 1 200 mg dose at dr office and left with script for 200mg/week, but was told to only take 100 mg/week. (Doc in city, I'm in burbs) It was a way to cut down visits.
Felt great for a few weeks, then felt terrible.
After an email to doc on June 29 he told me to up dose to 200mg/week if I wanted or to 150/mg as long as I felt comfortable. I decided on 160mg split into 2 shots a week. Was feeling pretty good for a while.
July 20 blood draw confirmed testosterone level of 497.7. Doc said it was "perfect"...Not sure less than 500 is perfect, but ok. left with 3 month script and thought I was good to go. Then about 5-6 days ago my current crash happened and brought me here.
Thank you again for all your comments and support...I'll keep you updated.
