[QUOTE="Spartan725, post: 109210, member: 18528"] I just started researching about TRT because I was experiencing symptoms related to it. I was feeling tired all the time, moody, and seemed to have a low libido. I decided to get my blood work done and surprisingly my total and free T seemed at the higher end of the scale, but my SHBG was very high also. From the research I've done I can't seem to find information on having a high free T and SHBG since they seem to have an inverse correlation. From my understanding a high SHBG can cause similar symptoms of low T, so I am wondering if that is what I am experiencing. I was hoping to get some more insight on the high level of SHBG, and if it is something I need to look into more, or if it seems normal compared to my other results. I would appreciate any help, Thanks!
