[QUOTE="Rykertest, post: 255173, member: 44912"] Thank you for your reply. Yes, labcorp was who ran my blood work and yes it was high. I am currently on a lowered dose of .2ml of 200 mg twice a week for a total of 80mg/week. That’s been my new dose for almost 3 weeks. I don’t know if that dose is getting to the point where I don’t have a need for TRT or not. When I initially got tested, my total was fine, almost 600 if memory serves, but my free was low at 6, the bottom range being 6.8. My last blood work numbers were; Labcorp RBC was at 5.85 4 weeks ago which is considered high and that is up from 5.53 previously which is not high. Range is 4.14-5.80 hematocrit was elevated slightly but not considered high at last blood draw. Went from 46.4-49.4. Range is 37.5-51. Estradiol went from 21 to 63 and was considered high with a range of 7.6-42.6. Ferratin has never been checked and I asked around to the friends and coworkers I know who use this same dr and he never checks that. Maybe he should or maybe he’s using some other marker to determine it’s not a concern at the time of a blood draw. To answer the allergy question above, I was using Benadryl, 3-200mg Advil and earlier in the day I had used Allegra D 24 hour. The headache I had was at the base of my skull along with the ear/sinus pressure I had which was allergy related. This spring has killed me allergy wise. That location of headache was new to me and it was unsettling. I was supposed to take the arimidex with my shot yesterday but I didn’t. I do wonder if this is part of the problem because the last 3-4 weeks my allergies have been the worst they’ve been in a decade or more when I got 3 years of allergy shots. Horrible sneezing, sinus pressure, eyes itching, throat and ear itching, etc. I also did have some moderate nausea the last two nights. I was beginning to wonder if my allergy shots were wearing off but it came on with such a vengeance, now I wonder if it was the AI. I had hoped the lower dose of TRT would allow me to not need the AI long term. If I stopped the AI, how long until it’s out of my system so to speak? I also had some mild knee pain. Kind of an ache at the base of both knees and I don’t normally have that. This started about a week ago. I have an appt with my dr tomorrow and his nurse said he will most likely want me to donate asap. I’ve not donated blood in 20+ years so I figure I will. im Replying from work on my phone so thank you for everyone’s assistance. [/QUOTE]
