Information released to FDA by different reagent manufactures has
identified cross reactivity between Fulvestrant, a drug used in the
treatment of metastatic breast cancer, and immunoassays; leading to
falsely elevated estradiol results. Any patient known to be on a

exhibit Fulvestrant interference.

According to the American Urological Association, Serum PSA should
decrease and remain at undetectable levels after radical

PSA value 0.2 ng/mL or greater followed by a subsequent confirmatory
PSA value 0.2 ng/mL or greater.
Values obtained with different assay methods or kits cannot be used
interchangeably. Results cannot be interpreted as absolute evidence
of the presence or absence of malignant disease.

Glucose Numbers have a HIGHLIGHTED RED CRITICAL in the report.

[Mr.BB]

How were you feeling when taking this blood??

[Mr.BB]

Well, I will answer that for you.

You were probably feeling like shit, completely light headed, tired, etc. With a glucose of 23 (!!) thats the only way you could be feeling.

The bloodwork is very incomplete, but have you show it to a doctor?

I would do a saliva cortisol test ASAP, your symptoms and low glucose match adrenal disease (addison's disease). This can also be the reason for the low testosterone .

[hammerheart]

No way that blood glucose is real, probably some draw or lab artifact. He would be slipping into coma that low.

[NuckinFutz68]

Dont know how to respond to this. Those readings were taken unfasted at 5PM in the afternoon. Must have been an error in the test. Have no reason to fake the numbers. I did not feel bad at all.

This was all that was on the lab test pdf sent to me. I just copied and pasted it over. This was not my Family Physician.

Family Physician recently also did blood work as part of renewing my Blood Pressure and Cholesterol meds and called to tell me that everything but my AST looked a little high. It was 44.

I injured my shoulder benching and was taking 600 mg of Ibuprofen a couple times a day while it was healing. Doc knew that and said lets wait a month and rerun once your shoulder is better.

Thinking I will wait for a bit and order my own tests from the links I see in the forums and see how they look before I do anything.

Anyways from what I have read here starting it at 18% BF is not a good idea. I should be below 15% from what I have read. Does that apply for HRT also?

In the gym I am doing ok. I dont feel like the animal I use to feel like. I use to push myself really hard to the point I would hurt myself. Intensity was not an issue. I have a little of that but not like before. Only been back since mid May though so I thinks its expected. Been only doing bodyweight for 3 years after hurting my back. That makes me cautious also. I had to learn to walk right again after that. Sciatica and nerve damage in left leg sent me to PT to learn to use that leg good again. Still have a large difference in the VMO on that leg. When I flex it it only gets half hard. NO JOKES or PUN intended.

I have time and patience. Spring Break is late March so main goal is some size back and some abs showing.

[Mr.BB]

Ok then.

Unfasted 5PM bloods are completely useless. You need to repeat first thing in the morning, 12 hour fast.

Don't understand how lab allowed this. What kind of lab is it??

[75 Dogs]

How long after your shot were these labs taken? Any reason you’re not splitting this dose over twice a week? (I'm assuming this is doctor prescribed)

[NuckinFutz68]

No shots yet. Qualified to start but nothing yet. Posts above made me a little nervous about blood work.. Leveraged work's free health check labs. Fasted labs for Cholesterol, Glucose, Triglycerides. That all came back in really good ranges. Had to let them weigh me and height me and tell me once again my BMI 31.9 makes me obese. Even lady laughed cause then they measure your waist. If its under 40 then they say ok. Waist was 32.

Cholesterol was 131 HDL low at 37 LDL was 88. I was told not to be concerned since total was so low and that I should consider lowering Atorvastatin. Glucose was 78 fasted today so in range and much better. Was a relief. SO now to make a decision.

Did\Do not want to add something new to the equation if it aint right to begin with.

[75 Dogs]

Sorry, I must have misunderstood. I'll just comment on the weight thing. Going on TRT doesn't mean you have to be in great shape, you are simply trying to get your body to operate normally like its supposed to. And even fat people can hope to be okay on the inside, right? BUT there is a thought that losing weight can be one of the best things you can do and is often suggested first to see if that solves the issue of how you feel. AAS, on the other hand, is assumed to be used because you are maxed out and not looking for shortcuts, so one of the things to take into consideration is lower body fat if you want to see visual results. It will supply you with super physiological (hope that's the the term) of testosterone instead of the replacement levels TRT will give you.
