UPDATE!

UPDATE!

Thanks everyone for all the advice I received concearning my issues with the doc and my blood work. I've started treatment. I asked a lot of questions today and feel pretty secure with my new doctor.

Mens clinic blood had me at 230 T and 20 free. DHEA first thing in the morning was really cranking my numbers up. Doc has started me on 160 a week with .5 Anastrozole. Really looking forward to feeling good again!

thanks for the help!
 
I would probably skip the AI, until you levels tells you to take one. Have you got your first injection of testosterone, if you did can you feel the difference?

Hi Vince. Well my doctor said I wouldn't notice much till my second or third shot. However, last nigth I had so many erections in the night they were waking me up. That was something absent from life for almost 20 years. I've had an appetite again and seem to be digesting better. Workouts felt more explosive, and my mood has been more stabilized.
 
Good luck! I think you should have just stayed on the dhea though, to me it looked like that's what you were missing
Not giving up on the DHEA. I think it really helped me with my adrenal fatigue. Doctor told me to stay on my 200 mg a day till my next blood draw.

I started the honeymoon with my first injection. The honeymoon was amazing for the first two or three weeks.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
