[QUOTE="masfield, post: 46200, member: 13737"] Hey, guys -- Wondered if you could have a look at my test results below and tell me what you think. I am 62 and for the past 15 years have been dealing with a progressive, muscle-wasting, nerve killing disease called chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy. I sleep well, I stopped drinking a month ago for good, my beloved vodka having worsening effects on the nerves in my legs. My balance is shot and I'm chronically tired. OTOH, I'm a surfer and continue to surf, albeit no longer with any skill, and it leaves me having to take a nap almost immediately afterwards. A few months ago, I got a Dr to prescribe T for me, to try to deal with the muscle atrophy. (I can no longer ride a bike or walk a block.) I injected myself 3 times, over three weeks, and each time, my legs and feet fuzzed up and numbed out 3x how they normally feel. This freaked me out, so I stopped. The bloodwork was taken about 2 weeks after my last shot. I live in a small state, in a small town, and there are NO good doctors for this stuff within 100 miles of me. My neurologist is purely reactive and won't even discuss T with me. My primary will give me anything I want, but doesn't know doodly squat about my condition. There's a local endo who i'm trying to see, in the hopes she has some experience with CIDP and what testosterone might do or not do for it. Or maybe I don't even need T. Drugs I take: levothyroxine, nuvigil or adderall (for exhaustion), wellbutrin, zoloft. Thanks for any thoughts or suggestions you might have! P.S. Even though I've lots tons of muscle -- in my feet and legs, in my fingers and arms, everyplace, basically -- I still have lots of belly fat and jelly in my legs. So, my weight has remained the same, around 165 lbs, while I continue to get weaker and weaker ....
