[QUOTE="pauljw, post: 161403, member: 39719"] Newbie, first post. Started trt just over 3 months ago. 50 yo, slim and fit, 6-1" 180lbs. allways been on skinny side even after working out for years. had bloodwork done which showed tt low/mid end of range, free t was right at bottom of range. started transcrotal trt 20% cream 1ml/day split dose. have put on approximately 8 lbs of muscle. 3 weeks after starting, experiencing numerous side affects. Having heart palpation's, erectile dysfunction (ability to achieve/keep, and quality are all over the place in the same day). Have also recently been having Gerd (acid reflux) symptoms. I have never experienced these issues prior to trt, very frustrating. Labs show thyroid as being a little hypo, just started on 82 mg Synthroid to see if it has any positive affects. labs are prior to starting thyroid meds. Here is my latest labs (taken 10 hours after morning dose): Any input or advice is greatly appreciated, thanks in advance. Flags Results Reference Units Hematology WBC 5.2 4.0 - 11.0 x E9/L RBC 4.73 4.50 - 6.00 x E12/L Hemoglobin 150 135 - 175 g/L Hematocrit 0.441 0.400 - 0.500 L/L MCV 93 80 - 100 fL MCH 31.7 27.5 - 33.0 pg MCHC 340 305 - 360 g/L RDW 12.2 11.5 - 14.5 % Platelet Count 207 150 - 400 x E9/L Differential Neutrophils 3.4 2.0 - 7.5 x E9/L Lymphocytes LO 0.9 1.0 - 3.5 x E9/L Monocytes 0.7 0.2 - 1.0 x E9/L Eosinophils 0.1 0.0 - 0.5 x E9/L Basophils 0.0 0.0 - 0.2 x E9/L Immature Granulocytes 0.0 0.0 - 0.1 x E9/L Nucleated RBC 0 /100 WBC Thyroid Function Thyroid Stimulating Hormone [TSH] HI 4.47 0.32-4.00 mIU/L Thyroxine Free [Free T4] LO 8 9-19 pmol/L Triiodothyronine Free [Free T3] 3.8 2.6-5.8 pmol/L Pituitary Function Follicle Stimulating Hormone [FSH] LO <0.1 1.0-8.0 IU/L Luteinizing Hormone [LH] LO 0.1 1.0-7.0 IU/L Tumour Markers Prostate Specific Antigen 0.23 <4.0 ug/L Methodology: Abbott Architect immunoassay. Results should not be interpreted in isolation as absolute evidence of the presence or absence of malignant disease. Changes in serial results may be misleading unless all Total PSA results are from the same laboratory method.Reproductive and Gonadal Estradiol 91 <162 pmol/L NOTE: Fulvestrant has been shown to interfere with estradiol testing by this direct immunoassay. Results for patients taking this medication may be falsely elevated to a clinically-significant degree. Some steroidal aromatase inhibitors are structurally related to estradiol and may interfere with some direct immunoassays. Dehydroepiandrosterone [DHEA-S] 6.1 < 9.7 umol/L Testosterone HI 36.7 8.4 - 28.8 nmol/L Total Testosterone levels may not reflect the biologically-active testosterone when SHBG levels are abnormal. Testosterone Free HI 846 179-475 pmol/L Interpret free testosterone results with caution in presence of significant hypoalbuminemia. Sex Hormone Binding Globulin 36.8 10.0 - 70.0 nmol/L [/QUOTE]
