[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 259307, member: 15043"] Studies are one thing, real world effects are another. Studies can say whatever they want, anecdotes can say another, even if it goes against the results of a study. That’s why I put mor weight into real world results, than what studies tell us should be the case For example, these are my labs while on nothing. Based on these my total test levels, and my correlating SHBG levels on each specific set of labs, studies, and u would say that my free T level should be fine, and that I shouldn’t need HRT. Yet when I had all these labs done, I felt absolutely horrible. Had all the low T symptoms except no libido and/ or erectile dysfunction. Libido wasn’t great when I had all these labs done, but wasn’t in the gutter or anything. Other than sexual function, I felt horrendous. But according to u and madman, I shouldn’t be experiencing such low T symptoms with these labs, and my free T level, according to the formula that we’re supposedly supposed to go by, should be within a healthy range 8-5-15 ON NOTHING (Labcorp) Total T - 584 (348-1197 ng/dL) Free T - 7.3 (9.3-26.5) SHBG - 57.1 ( 16.5 - 55.9).
