Took time off- Blood results in the gutter- Super confused

[gscone]

Surely not what I was looking for. Took 2 weeks off TRT as I feeling like crap, figure get off all together. Here is my blood panel. Definetly need to get my cholesterol in check and treat my health with a Priority 1.

Question- My test levels seems totally out of wack. Any suggestions for a protocol?

What protocol were you when you quit? Are you going to commit to this or flip/flop on it; TRT? This is the best forum to really help you...

Your SHBG of 18 is probably the real problem you had, takes a certain protocol to work with a low SHBG value such as you have. Besides Cholesterol, etc etc

It looks as if you have liver problems as indicated by ALT.

Maybe the reason you quit TRT has to do with your TRT protocol, which is?

Low SHBG men will do better on more frequent dosing, everyday and EOD dosing is usually recommended. If you were dosing once or even twice weekly, then I can understand why TRT made you feel like crap.

T3 is best used for diagnosing hyperthyroidism, Free T3 should have been tested and perhaps Reverse T3. Lipid panel is terrible and is seen in people with liver disease and hypothyroidism.

MY protocol was 60-70 units test cypionate every 3 days, no set time. I would take an AI as needed, or how I felt. I quit for that short time because of severe sleepiness during the workday, even driving home. I am getting checked soon for sleep apnea.

Feeling much better as I am back on T, semi low dose.

CUrious what can be done with the low free and bioavailable testosterone?

Now that you're back on stay consistent every day with your dosing and how ever you're taking things...labs in 6 weeks, there's no reason to think back any more about low free T from whatever it was you were doing previously.

This is what I mean by committing to this, you will fail doing things this way:

MY protocol was 60-70 units test cypionate every 3 days, no set time. I would take an AI as needed, or how I felt.

60-70 is so wishy-washy, no set time, AI as needed...recipe for failure.
