Does being sick effect testosterone levels?

**Berserker88** · 10-06-2009, 02:31 AM

Hey guys,

Just got some blood work back and it was shit...

Total Test - 3.4 (10-38.0 range)
Free Test - 73 (240-970 range)

Now I havent cycled ever (natty) and I have absolutely no low test symptoms at all.

When I had this blood test done however I was extremely ill (actually had it done to see if I had glandular fever but also asked for free test levels).

Any input on this guys?

I know for a fact that you can get sick when you have low test in your body.
But never heard of that you are talking about. Looks like trt is right around the corner?

3 Weeks ago my total test was 17.8... this is ****ing random...

Prescription Test though... cant complain.

Well if anyone cares - I got my tests back a week or 2 ago and everything was back to normal!

So either they massively ****ed the first test, or being really ill CAN drop your test levels to the amounts a 2 year old girl posseses

Hmmm .. strange...glad you are back to the norm. I care...lol.

how about asking your doctor? did you do the test individual or did you have the doc do them?

Yeh I asked by Dr (the tests were done at a pathology lab) - He said he hadn't heard of testosterone levels dropping due to illness but he had heard of them stuffing up blood tests before, so it was probably just a stuff up.
