    Question More labs... not what I was expecting... would appreciate some feedback.

    My original thread is here. Not posting all of the other labs as they're basically in line with previous results posted.

    I drew some additional baseline labs (LabCorp) last Thursday before starting 50mg Test C IM 2x/wk... just got the results in. Definitely was NOT expecting the estradiol results. Especially with me being overweight. I have psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, too, and have been having a lot of joint pain this past week... I wonder if the low estradiol is aggravating that. Have also been having libido/ED issues as well. Would appreciate any insight you guys might have on the low T vs "normal" Free T vs hihg % Free T. I'm hoping estradiol will come up now that I'm supplementing with exogenous T.

    I'm 6'3", 290lbs. <cartman>Beefcake! Beefcake!</cartman> Working on cleaning up the diet. Exercise has been a problem due to multiple health problems this year (kidney stones - still fighting with this one. Right kidney likes to make stones for some reason... working through this with my uro. Also had an adverse neurological reaction to some medication that screwed up my sight pretty bad for about 4 months... have recovered about 95%) Trying to get back into some sort of exercise regimen - even if it's just walking.

    Currently taking 2400mg of Fish Oil 2x/day, 500mg extended release niacin 2x/day for lipid issues. Maybe add red yeast rice and CoQ10?
