[QUOTE="Astrox, post: 103409, member: 18082"] Hey Man It's something that has crossed my mind. Thing is, because there are additional issues with blood count - I'm not sure even a private TRT service would touch me - since a general rule of thumb is when levels surpass 52%. Those Heamoglobin levels really are on the high side, even without TRT. In fact a year before starting TRT it's already at 178 and RBC at 5.88. That's nearing asprin territory. It's not much more on TRT. I know it fluctuates between 178-181 put it that way. By which time I'm either put on asprin or dropped on the dosage. I do have a complete old set of labs I had done privately in 2016 to show that - pre TRT. I posted them yesterday, but decided to delete as I figure they are of little benefit as they are not TRT blood work. The gentleman suggests asking for micro doses of TRT, but that's not happening anytime soon - my consultant has more or less written a letter saying there is nothing more she can do. She won't entertain injections because of the RBC. Ironically I was in fantastic shape. Not the tallest of guys at 5ft'6, but held a lot of muscle considering the circumstances -weighing in at an in shape 94.6kg. TRT sky rockets my gains. Within 3 months of being on it I had gained a stone and a half. Of course I'd pick feeling well over any muscle gains, but the point is if the RBC wasnt an issue I'd be laughing (not to mention the huge relief I experienced in regards to symptom control at that dose).
