[QUOTE="Seth, post: 275098, member: 41179"] Yes, the blood test was done the morning before my shot. The doctor reduced my dose a couple of times. Then wait a few months and retest it. That got me down from .4 ML twice a week to where I am now. The blood pressure drug started first. I don't remember exactly when, but the cholestrol one came later. My current symptoms came on gradually. Maybe it was a combination of lowering the T, along with adding in the other drugs. Prior to starting the drugs, my blood pressure was creeping up. When he started me on the meds, I was about 145/90. Now it's around 110/70. I haven't tried measuring it at home in a long time. I do have a home tester so I could do that. They used to say 120/80 was good, but now they are saying that's borderline high. Seems they have lowered the range for normal BP. I didn't have the extra pounds back on the higher dose. Overall, I have lost weight, but gained fat around my middle. Yes, I would say I'm skinny flabby around the middle. My guess is a loss of muscle mass and a gain of fat. When I first started T, I lost fat and gained muscle. Now, it's the opposite. I don't remember how long the honeymoon phase lasted, but overall I felt way better back then. [/QUOTE]
