[QUOTE="ReillyJ, post: 101974, member: 17394"] Hi, My husband is 69 and has been on TRT for about 5 months. Standard dosage 400 mg and he shoots twice weekly (well... i give him the shot) His E2 is fine, his thyroid numbers are good (also on replacement therapy) and he has been testing above 500 and below 800 in a trough. This is Total T, however his Free T tests low. Example: Total: 513 ng/dl Free: 34.2 pg/ml We recently switched to a Naturopath that manages TRT instead of his disinterested Endo which refused to even run a E2 (we ordered it ourselves) and frankly i was shocked he even ordered a Free T on this go around. Anyway, i was surprised that the Naturopath didn't think he warranted an increase in dosage although i understand his reasoning in that when you up it, you certainly can run into more "management" problems, in addition, his PSA has been rising. He was checked by a Urologist for BPH before initiating TRT and is treated for that and no lumps or anything suspicious, was given the green light. Of course, i am making an appt for him to go in and have a re-check. PSA is now 3.27, 4.00 is the upper limit. So if he gets a go ahead from the Urologist (LORD WILLING) what can we do to increase his Free T if indeed there is anything we can do? Naturopath said the BW is just a snapshot in that period of time which of course we know.... He is doing OK on it, starting to see results after 4-5 months on it, libido could be better but not bad, energy OK...he has numerous health issues so all cannot be blamed on inadequate therapy if indeed it is inadequate.... Just wondering if there's anything i can do in addition to help him. Oh his supplements do include 50 mg DHEA which he has been on for a few years, Vitamin D, etc... Also any input on PSA? Thanks Susie [/QUOTE]
