Saliva test results

[clemont51]

Normal was 550 on a scale of 200-900. Test C at 125mg every two weeks raised it to 850 on same scale.(These were from blood tests) (Tests were taken 10 months apart) Increased T to 125mg a week. Did saliva test results said "out of range", 554H, pg/ml 44-148 (age dependent) Got very horny, slight itching above
one nipple. Also taking DHEA 50mg daily. Currently doing 75mg weekly. Why so much reaction at these levels? I also take 7,200 mg saw palmetto daily as my postate
is slightly enlarged. Still only get up once a night to pee. I'm 75 years old and very, very conditioned. Any suggestions as to other steriods? (All other blood chemistry is fine)

P.S. Many ED problems are caused by looking at older females!

Did you start at 550, or am I misunderstanding? If so, I think it is because you are taking too much. Your levels weren't that bad, and a small dose brought you up to the top of the scale where you should have been happy and feeling good...then you doubled it. I think that is why you are off the scale and having some sides.

Wait for other opinions, of course.

Thanks for the reply. Yes, my normal T was 550. 850 was achieved at 125mg every two weeks. The 125 mg
weekly sent it off the scale. Yes, I had to experiment. Cutting to 75mg weekly should take it back a bit.
I found the every two weeks schedule lead to a diminished output after about 10 days. Next blood work I'll ask
for a epitestosterone to testosterone reading. They permit a 4 to 1 T to Epi ratio in international sports. (Tour de
France rider Floyd Landis tested 11 to 1, hence his banishment. I just want my levels to be that of a young athlete
as my training program is intense. (Getting ready for a rim to rim to rim time trial in the Grand Canyon) Looked at
other steroids but I am a bit fearful of raising hemocrite levels too high)
