[QUOTE="diggerdoggy, post: 82532, member: 16634"] I am a 54 yr old male who recently started on TRT with a family doctor due to fatigue. I dont have detailed lab results, but they are as follows: 1. Estradiol 60 w/reference range of pg/ML result high 2. Luteinizing hormone <.20 mIU/mL result low 3. Estrogens, Total 124 range of 40-115 pg/ML results high 4. Serum Testosterone 75 range 264-916 results-Low 5. Vitamin B12 294 range 211-946 6. Folic acid 11.2 range >3.0 ng/mL That is all I have or know. Here is my story Started 2 months ago due to initial testosterone level of 75. He gave me 1 shot a week of Test. Cyp 200mg for 3 weeks, then switched me to 2 squirts a day of androgel 1.6, which I now have been doing for a week. I had an initial honeymoon with it, but soon blew up in weight and started taking 1mg of Arimidex once a week. Have only been on it for 2 weeks, but at least I lost some bloating. Unfortunately my degenerative disc disease is much worse since taking it, and I've had hot flashes for the first time. Arimidex seems to me to be a nasty medication. Bottom Line-it was fatigue/depression that led me to get a physical, but aside from a 1 week honeymoon, I feel far worse now than when I started. My doc is good for colds and the flu, but I dont think he does enough of it to be of any benefit. What is worse, he pretty much would give me what I asked for. I currently am looking for a urologist close by that does a lot of this. Does any of this sound familiar? I dont want to give up before getting dialed in properly, but the feeling I have is I am trying to trick mother nature, and it seems to be a constant battle of adjusting the hot and cold shower knobs in an effort to keep from getting scalded. If I knew it would not get better, I would quit and ask for help in restarting on my own. Any feedback would be appreciated. Wish I had greater detail of lab results and a greater understanding of them. I've learned a lot already lurking around. Thanks. [/QUOTE]
