[QUOTE="stotler, post: 148377, member: 18676"] Hello, I'm a 27 yo AF officer who's been in the service for under a year. I think I've been suffering from low T symptoms for the past few months so I got some labs from Labcorp and my initial test test showed my total T at 200 ng/dL. A test of free and total about two weeks later showed free test at 6.2 pg/mL and total at 323 ng/dL. I went to the base doc and they ordered their own labs which showed total test at 431 ng/dL, free test at 7 ng/dL, shbg at 43 nmol/L, and albumin at 4.7 g/dL. I'm wondering what's the best way to pursue this further. The base docs said they won't recognize the independent tests since "they're not up to military technician standards" which I get..but I'd rather give it another shot with a civilian doctor and get their two sense. The docs said they'd do a follow-up 6 months from now and go from there. I don't want to wait that long and I'm in the process of working with the patient advocate on base; however, I don't want to make such a fuss of things that it could potentially jeopardize future career opportunities. I'm just hoping to get advice from any other service members who have dealt with similar issues. I workout regularly, meditate, & exercise, however I suspect I've dealt with low T for the past few years with way I've been feeling overall. Thanks for the input. [/QUOTE]
