[QUOTE="Hoss91, post: 64071, member: 14777"] Had the follow-up appointment. If I can recall correctly, here is what was said: - re DHEA - She said there is no point because my E2 is not that high. - re thyroid antibodies - she said she tested all what she could. - re the elevated LH - she said it is not that high. It's more "high-normal". Also the fact that it fluctuates. - re E2 levels - I forgot to ask her about this, but given her answer regarding DHEA, I think that sort of answer this. -re the low testosterone on previous blood-test - she said it was a lab mix up, and she sees it all the time as testosterone can be tricky. Also, as it has been demonstrated in this thread, time of day is a factor. -Lastly, she said that while some people improve on more testosterone (she gave an analogy to giving someone a type of thyroid medication... Dexa something), she said it may cause more problems than the benefits, especially going on lifelong TRT. She said she was sorry she could not help me, but her door is always open. I am leaning towards the conclusion that my inability to build strength and muscle, and really at this point, the more worrisome cognitive side effects is due to something else. I guess the next step after this sleep study next Friday (which I need to wait 6 weeks for them to score it) would be to drive to Buffalo for some brain images. If there is nothing wrong with my brain, or other biological issues, then I guess it's how I am. [/QUOTE]
