[QUOTE="Flyers74, post: 269853, member: 45932"] Just wanted to update with my latest blood work, which I just had done right after being on xyosted for 9 weeks (100mg 1x/week)..and had been re-taking the crestor (statin) for that same period. I've since stopped both, as I said above, I want to go cold-turkey for a while and take nothing. numbers that stand out: [B]RBC: 5.94 (high) Hematocrit: 54.1 (high) BUN/Creatinine Ratio: 8 (low) Potassium: 5.3 (high) Calcium: 10.3 (high) Bilirubin, Direct: 0.12 TSH-ICMA: 1.6 Free T4 by Dialysis/Mass Spec: 1.2 Testosterone: 421 LH: <0.3 (extremely low) FSH: <0.3 (extrememly low) Prolactin: 7.9 Estradiol: 11.0 Prostate Specific Ag: 1.0 I didn't really sleep at all the night before this draw, so the hematocrit may be high because of that?[/B] As you can see the TST is in the 400s now, but that still didn't fix my ED issues...so I really think the other hormones related to sexual function (and others??) are prob. the real culprit? hence why I just want to stop everything, and try to get my body back to making everything on it's own, maybe I need something that tells your body to make more LH and FSH? (instead of taking external TST which just shuts all this down) any thoughts on all of this? (I do still plan to get a heart calcium test, but also need to fix my sexual function) [B]Like I stated back at my first post, my sexual function was all working normal, until 2 years ago when my doc convinced me to go on statin, 10mg daily, which I did for about 12 months... and during that time my sexual problems started... related, unrelated? that's the ultimate question? but never had an issue, ever, up until I did that...[/B] [/QUOTE]
