what should i ask my endo to test for?

[Dobie-BOY]

I'm going to c an endo this week. I sleep a lot and am trying to find out why. Also, what levels should I have him check estradiol, t4, t3, test, free test, blood lipids. Anything else? I'm also going to try to get a script for gh. I'm currently on 250 mgs test a week and 1.35 iu / day gh. I was going to tell him that I am taking test and gh and that the gh makes me feel great. Any other ideas while I'm there?

Bump.

Have you ever had bloodwork done for test levels?

free test
bound test
pituitary
thyroid
liver

the medical bone heads dont normally treat any thing less than 100 for test levels... but all the research says that an active athlete should (to recover correctly and quickly) be above 550 and lower than 800, 1100 wouldnt to high... however age is a major factor - i keep throwing around 550 and most docs seem to think that is reasonable...

it has been help full to state to endo docs that i relize that my test raised to 550 is not going to make me a pro body builder... good luck most docs are not real excited to write scrips for aas

fyi this is just from my personal exp

Ya, I'm not going to ask for a script to anything but gh. And I'm only gonna ask for a therapeutic dose. I'm really wanting to know exactly what levels I should ask to be tested. I always tell docs that I juice. Either their cool and are willing to help through regular testing and feedback or I will find another endo...

I would get a full blood work done too. test thyroid, liver, kidneys, prostate....

i think all tests have been covered on this thread, only other suggestion would be to stop test use and gh use prior to blood work....unless you dont mind possibly having higher than norm test levels, i would wait 3 weeks for test to clear depending on what type of test your taking and at the rate your taking gh, i would stop 2 days prior....that is what i would do, im sure there are guys online who would have a more scientific time frame...good luck to you and let us know how it goes...
