[QUOTE="Hoss91, post: 61600, member: 14777"] I had the appointment with the endocrinologist. 1. Follow-up bloodwork for: HbA1C, ALT, Total Testosterone, Free Testosterone, SHBG, LH, FSH, estradiol, prolactin, TSH, fT4, fT3, Cortisol. She said bioavailable is useless. 2. Re estradiol test sensitivity in Canada - she said it does not matter, anything under 60 is fine. 3. She said my test levels on the May 2015 blood test is normal. The lack of muscle and strength is just how I am made. Low testosterone may be related to my genetic disorder (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome). Geneticist at the time did not tell me about low testosterone being related, to continue to squat and deadlift and live life normally, and that I most likely have the more benign symptoms (i.e., stretchy skin, smooth skin, soft joints) 4. She said that the tests are not conclusive for reverse T3, so she is not ordering it. DHT and PSA she said hold off until this round of blood tests. 5. She said I most likely have hypogonadism, and this round of tests will determine if it is primary or secondary. She also said that I will probably be started on the gel, versus injections. She said the problem with injections is the lack of consistency, whereas the gel is more continuous without peaks. She said the efficacy depends on the individual, but called bullshit on the generalization that the gels are ineffective. 6. I saw my family doctor afterwards, and she referred me for a sleep study. She thinks given my history, and the connective tissue disorder, it is very plausible that I have sleep apnea. - This is all I can remember, I didn't think to take notes because I have been so salty and bitter today lol.
