I have managed to find a clinic in the uk who specialise in TRT and have prescribed me 250 sustanon every 10days but I have not taken it yet as I had this growth hormone stimulation test booked through my endocrinologist. The clinic is called the Ledger Clinic based in Doncaster.

I know my total t isn't that and but it has been worse. I also have a Shbg that sits around 45 to 50. According to this chart I have similar levels to a man of 65-85. My total t has been as low as 13 nmol/l.

Im also not sure whether starting sustanon at that level is too high to start with? I was interested in HCG mono therapy but im getting to the point of taking what ever can make me function. I can't exercise, walk up a hill even, sexually dead, joints cracking and clicking. Hips are terrible. I'm getting concerned about bone loss.im also losing a lot of muscle fast. I'm naturally very lean and eat extremely healthy so I will start to look very sick very soon.

My igf 1 wasn't that low but apparently this doesn't always mean that you aren't growth hormone deficient. I certainly fit a lot of the symptoms. My endos secretary left me a voicemail saying there is nothing to panic about but he needs to talk to me soon regarding my results. I'm seeing him the 16th.

Another question, does trt restore growth hormone levels?
