[QUOTE="Hawk, post: 10840, member: 2218"] I am in my 50's and was diagnosed around age 43 with FMS. For years I suffered and became worse. Around age 49 I read a article about Women with FMS being treated with HRT for Testosterone. My T was low but not abnormal according to VA tests but an Endocrinologist agreed to let me try it. It DID NOT cure my FMS but made it much more tolerable. My Sed rate which was elevated since I became ill plummeted from a high of 119 to a low of just 8! The testes returned to a normal size. The FMS Fog lifted and I regained my clarity of thought. I went from a nearly 300lb blob on the couch surrounded by pillows to an active person and my weight started dropping for the first time. Currently under 230lbs and dropping still. My creativity returned (I was an artist). Life seemed worth living again and sex had nothing to do with it. Now following a Hemocrit level of 54% and 17.5 Hemoglobin the VA wants to take me off the T and the new doctors say I never should have started. I do not want to return to that blob. I doubt the results of tests that show increased Heart Attacks. And it seems my Sed rate should be a factor as well in that consideration. Does anyone know how to get these tests to return to acceptable levels? Are they really that high? Any help appreciated. [/QUOTE]
