Ok So I got my blood work done twice in 1.5 month. Here are the issue
Blood sugar level is high
I am peeing protein
Fat on my liver
Blood is thicker then normal but white blood cell count is good.
DOctor told me to stop my hormone therapy and dont take any injections for 1.5 month and then do the test again . Not sure what to make of it.
Are you diabetic, Cal?Quote:

Donate - do a DRBC and you'll feel much better! have no clue what that is
Idk if I would stop your HRT(unless it's your HRT doc?)?! I'm confused too on stoping - are you running anything atm? the reason was it can POSSIBLY thickens your blood and doctor didnt liked that so he wants to stop it just for trial period. I take prescribed test every second week and i supposed to take it last sunday I will miss 2 more and then get the blood test done.
lay off pouring chocolate all over your body for the fatties, it is seeping through your pores!
They dont wait enough to let me pour it they start sucking on the bag :shrug:Quote:

Yes... Exactly what RC said as well! You can go to a donation center and ask for a DRBC(Double Red Blood Cell Donation) and you'll feel much better and have more NRG! ;)Quote:

Find another doctor asap.
Going to see the specialist.Quote:

I have and yes, just that they know hormones. Title doesn't matter. Imho between endo and uro I'd go uro without question.Quote:
