No ER would dismiss jet black stools without at a minimum a fecal occult test. This story is sounding more and more like a story
Now your finally getting somewhere.Had an appointment with my PCP today. After discussing all of my symptoms here's what the doctor suggested.
The following lab work was ordered.
CBC w/Auto Diff
CK/CPK (Creatine Kinase) Total
Ferritin Test
Iron/Transferrin/TIBC/%Sat
T3 Reverse
Thyroid Peroxidase AutoAntibody
Also, take home Hemoccult Test.
I should have the results of the lab work tomorrow or Wednesday.
My PCP also recommended that I should get a 2nd opinion from another Endocrinologist.

Well if it was serious you would have been in the hospital by now, seeing you posted on 02/14.
Personally I think it’s the diet, and you have stomach ulcers. But you will not know that until you see a specialist and get an endoscope.
before you start doing home remedy things to try and fix yourself, I highly recommend you be further evaluated by a specialist and not your PCP. Yes it will cost money, but this is your health.
That's very conservative, some guys will be left with suboptimal testosterone under 50% hematocrit.If you don't get your Hematocrit under 50% I will never write a prescription for you like your old Endocrinologist did for high dosing.
