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)
