Hello all, My name is Ken from Washington and I was diagnosed with Low-T May 2014. I've been having troubles as of late and retested and sure enough I was low again. I scheduled a appt with a urologist as I don't think my GP is up to speed on it all. Below are my stats;
Today my GP increased my dosage back to 100mg injection weekly. I haven't taken any other tests for estrogen or HCG. My GP felt there was nothing that could be done for Atrophy. I had weight loss surgery in October and had to stop taking my injection for a couple weeks. I'm just not sure why my most recent test is so off two months after my surgery. having said that, I have lost 50lbs in those two months. I feel horrible, have no sex drive, problems with staying "excited" and its a total 180 from how I felt in July when my numbers were higher. My GP decreased my dosage because he said the 179 pg/mL Free-T was too high. I tried to convince him that I didn't want to change as I was feeling great, strong erections, high libido, but he insisted and said there were side effects to worry about with a 179 pg/mL Free-T level.
Thanks for reading my ramble but I thought I would introduce myself and kinda share what I'm experiencing. I should also mention my wife is REALLY unhappy about having a husband who lays around all the time tired, isn't interested in sex, and when we do can't keep it up. YA! good times at home!
Thanks,
Ken
