    Results from an OTC Saliva test

    I just got back my resuslts from an Optimale Saliva Test. The results are pretty bare, I was expecting more than just one number.

    It just reads:

    57pg/ml

    The normal range is 60.0-125.0pg/ml.

    Now at 31, is this something that I should be worried about? Should I get a full panel done through a lab? He gave me the normal schpeil to go to their sponsored website which sells supplements but I don't really trust that. He said my level was low probably because something else was deficient. Any plan of attack or suggestions for me?

    The reason for the test is because I'm not really feeling like I used to. Weight gain up, sex drive down, cloudy thinking sometimes. I got a thyroid test done which came back norm so I decided to see what the boys were doing, or not.

    Time to see a specialist, they know their business. My General Practioner caused my HRT and he doesn't even know it. He prescibed a medication with a side effect of causing the pituitarty to cease working.

    Which medication may I ask? I was thinking a specialist was in my future, I just didn't know how accurate the OTC tests were or if they were a tool to get you to buy their supplements.
