[QUOTE="Jerajera, post: 181584, member: 40995"] Hi, I'm a 40yo man. I just got tested for Total and Free T. My Total T came out at 1015 ng/dl out of a lab reference range of 45 - 975 ng/dl. My Free T came out at 63 pg/dl out of a lab reference range of 47 - 225 pg/ml My doc didn't want to test SHBG or Estradiol until we got Total and Free T back. The rest of my blood work is pretty much optimal; great cholesterol (high HDL, low LDL), low liver enzymes, good thyroid (average TSH), blood pressure great, Hematocrit 44%. I don't have much energy nowadays despite having tight deadlines and strong incentives to get stuff done. Libido is still ok and my erections are very strong and last for a long time, but I'm optimizing a lot for that; I never watch porn or even masturbate and I do Kegels every day. In general though my libido is nowhere near what it used to be. Physically I'm a decent shape but building muscle is a real challenge for me. I do pretty much everything one can do naturally to be healthy. I eat extremely healthy, don't drink or smoke, do meditation, make sure I sleep enough, lift weights and do cardio regularly, have sex a lot, etc...and the rest of my blood work reflects that. However if I were to describe how I feel in general, I feel like shit. I feel like life is passing me by and I've lost the ability to effect change in myself and my environment. Everything feels like I'm lifting mountains to get through, and I'm doing everything out of pure discipline. Nothing really feels enjoyable. I also have massive anxiety and social anxiety in particular. It gets so bad that if I'm in a confrontation I'll start visibly shaking. I've always been like that but it's gotten worse over time. I know many would call me crazy to consider TRT with Total T so high it's outside the reference range, which is why I come here to ask about it. From what I read, it seems Total T is completely worthless as a measurement and only Free T matters. If that's the case, then my Free T is probably at the average level for a 150yo man, which is not ok. I'm going to go back to my doc and ask to test for SHBG and Estradiol. Is there anything else I should look into? And also what do you think about TRT with Total T so high? [/QUOTE]
