[QUOTE="FreeRangeYeti, post: 59977, member: 14864"] Hi everyone. I've been doing plenty of reading, and I still can't find a similar case containing labs and symptoms like mine, so I thought since I am striking out with doctors here, I would get some 'net SME advice! Demographics: 39 years old 6'5" 270 lbs. Body fat 26.2% Powerbuilder - Powerlifting / Strongman strength based workouts for main lifts and hypertrophy accessory lifts. Follow Renaissance Periodization's Diet and training methodology when I am able to (details below). Symptoms: Workouts - I have been weight training for 25+ years, and have been mixing high intensity and lower weight, higher volume pump/recovery workouts (to prevent overtraining) for years working out 6x/week. In the last year, I have started breaking down and being unable to recover. I dropped to 4x/week, and I am currently unable to squat more than once/week. My hips, abductors, adductors, etc. remain too sore. Still doing cardio and lifting, but not recovering. Sleep - I have slept for 6 hours/night for years, and now I am still tired even after 8 hours. Libido - No more morning wood, and while I can still perform, I don't chase the girlfriend nearly as much as I used to. Body Comp - Always had gyno, even as a kid, but it is getting worse, even at lower bodyfat. Mood / Cognitive - Still competitive at work and able to get things done, but not nearly as sharp. I went to my doc and had my labs done (AM fasting). My total test bounces around in the last 4 years between 300 & 400. Free Test between 10 & 17. Basically, I'm on the low end, but they don't do anything until you go under 175. Also my E2 & SHBG is always in the mid to high 40's. Does anyone have any idea what I should do next? My PCP doesn't know. My urologist doesn't think it is low T as much as a E2 / SHBG problem, and the endocrinologists won't see me until my levels go below the 175. Thanks ! [/QUOTE]
