    yipee- blood test ordered! did i cover all bases?

    hi guys and girls.

    managed to find a doctor who is willing to give me a blood test- i gave him a list i found on a trt stickie ( thanks guys-feels good to not go in blind !)

    doctor wrote me out a pathology request and this is what i ended up with.

    CRP- (C-reactive protein)
    EBV SEROLOGY (Epstein Barr virus)
    FBC (full blood count)
    GLUCOSE FASTING
    IRON STUDIES
    LFT (liver function test)
    TFTs (thyroid function tests)
    U/E (urea and electrolytes)
    PSA (prostate specific antigen)
    TESTOSTERONE TOTAL
    BIOAVAILABLE TESTOSTERONE (FREE TESTOSTERONE if bio-available not available)
    LH (luteinizing hormone)
    FSH (follicle stimulation hormone)
    PROLACTIN
    CORTISOL
    OESTROGEN (ESTRADIOL-SENSITIVE ESSAY FOR MALES)
    SHBG (Sex hormone binding globulin)
    FASTING DHT (Dihydrotestosterone)

    he hand wrote something on the request, and i think could be "lipids"- but im not sure ( bad handwriting)- is lipids already covered in the above list?- if not and you guys think its nessasary i will add it in myself.

    thanks for all your help- looking forward to sorting my health out and becoming normal again.

    lipids (cholesterol panel) is not in your above list. if your doc added that in, it probably will be done. yes, its good to know your chol status before and after a cycle.
