[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 159459, member: 15832"] I'm afraid you are dealing with a medical system that is ignorant in what constitutes normal testosterone, if you want insurance to cover TRT you will need levels below 300 ng/dL, or the levels of an 80 year old man. Doctors participating in managed healthcare go base off reference ranges, in range and you are normal. The is true for everything except testosterone, testosterone peaks at about 30 years old at the top of the ranges and begins a gradual decline and by the time you are elderly, levels are low, except EDCs in the environment interfere with the body’s hormones and are causing this decline happen more quickly and it's happening everywhere. If you look at the averages in your age group, 667 ng/dL is the average, twice what they are now. The insurance companies are installing barriers to medical treatment, which is not surprising considering insurance companies are always looking for ways to deny medical treatment. If your urologist was to prescribe you TRT with levels above 300 ng/dL, the levels of old men, it would be insurance fraud. There are options, there are private clinics available which have doctors that know about what constitutes normal testosterone. You can't gain muscle at these testosterone levels, you would need to be a level based on the average men you age which is 667 ng/dL to stand any chance of building muscle. Your TSH is another problem, the reference ranges for TSH included people with hypothyroidism and unfortunately doctors are still using these reference ranges that are not normal. You need a full thyroid panel checking TSH, fT4, fT3, rT3 and antibodies. Your T3 uptake is below range which means you are unable to use the majority of your thyroid hormones, I'm shocked that your doctor isn't treating you thyroid! The care you are receiving is abysmal!
