[QUOTE="littlemanb, post: 119122, member: 15335"] Hi Jim, Thanks for your feedback! I posted some of my numbers pre TRT below..my DHEA was high due to supplementation of 25 mg daily he stopped me taking the DHEA when I started the TRT. My vitamin D was also high so my doctor cut me down from 6000 IUs a day to 3000. My B vitamins were also good along with my iron..the doc was more concerned with my borderline anemia with no real explanation..he is hoping that TRT will improve the red blood cell issue or add some EPO to assist..he feels the anemia along with the low T could be causing a lot of my fatigue/energy and other symptoms. I do work out regularly, weights and cardio, so that isn’t an issue..I’ve done that all my life. Sounds like you do as well.. I will definitely update the end of October when I get the bloodwork and see the doc again.. I also may need to increase my dose next visit but we will see what the numbers look like.. I see you are taking HCG. The doc offered it to me but said it was mainly for shrunken testicles and if I wanted to keep fertile..both of which I was not concerned..I’ve read pros and cons on the use of HCG so I’m not sure if adding it would make much difference on how I feel..I would like that clear headed feeling again and more energy would be great.. Anyways, thank you for taking the time to reply! I hope your TRT protocol is also working for you..this is a great site to learn and share!
