    Got labs back, but don't have Hemochromatosis

    I recently put a post up where my new doc thought I might have hemochromatosis, causing my issues.

    Just got back my labs and it shows that I am only a carrier for hemochromatosis. So that means I have one of the genes, but because it is recessive it means that it takes both for me to have it.

    I'm surprised you were still conscious.
    Are you pinning insulin and not eating??

    I can't believe your Total Test is only 351 after injecting 150mg.

    yea WOW, i never seen glucose that low, better start eating cheesecake bro! aside from you liver function everything else seem to be normal. now to your testosterone level, it absolutely makes no sense! SHBG and e2 indicates that you either don't metabolize test well, or simply your gear is bunk! do you know why your liver function is high? do you drink alcohol, are you on any pain meds?

    I added the asterisk and comment below the glucose. Apparently it was in contact with red cells, so I am 99% sure it was wrong. I have a fatty liver which causes my ALT and AST to be elevated. I had not drank for almost a month before these tests.

    Just got back from the dr's. She wants me to do phlebotomy for four months. She is focusing on getting my hematocrit down and my liver values. At that point, she is doing bloodwork for all transferrin saturation and ferritin levels. She is saying the reason my testosterone , IGF-1 and liver values are not good, along with elevated blood pressure and prolactin is due to the iron overload (even though she didn't check it). I am supposed to donate 1x a month for the next 4 months and then have a follow up.

    She upped my testosterone to 100mg 2x per week, since my total is still in the 300's
