[QUOTE="notsure, post: 157988, member: 13026"] Ok I was diagnosed with Low T about five years ago. Short story is I had most symptoms, but mostly very low energy. My numbers were around 200 ng/dL. I started treatment with injections and adjusted everything but with time my HCT and blood pressure started to go up. I started to make blood donations every three months, but after a year my Ferritin crashed, so I was told not to donate for a while. I reduced my dosage and started injecting 3X a week instead of twice. This did not help with my HCT and blood pressure, so I reduced the dosage more. My T then around 400-500. Still had high HCT. Dr. recommended I do a sleep study to see if I had sleep apnea since this might be the cause. I went ahead, was diagnosed with mild sleep apnea. By then my HCT was again around 55% with Ferritin below normal level and with higher blood pressure (even when I donated blood they told me my blood was thick). SO I decided to stop TRT and get my HCT and BP under control. I was put on a reset program and I am now taking Clomid daily (1/4 pill). My new blood work shows my HCT back down to 45, T at 227 (free at 4.5) and Estradiol sensitive at 10 (not sure why so low?) Needless to say I'm back to no energy, motivation, and when I find the energy to workout it takes me a week to recover....on top of low libido and no morning wood. Obviously I'm very sensitive to the injectable T. So I say all this to ask..... are my options (a) Live like this; (B) Get back into TRT and well BP will go up so will HCT and I guess I will eventually pay the price? I can't be the only one who is this sensitive. I have kids so I don't want to do creams/gels? I don't like either of these options.... What are my other options to increase T and feel better? Starting to get a bit desperate. The problem is not sleep apnea. So I'm all ears. BTW any good Drs. in Houston that I can work with? Was using one of the credible clinics mentioned on this forum, bu I think is time I meet face to face with A Dr. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
