Lab Results, and Concerned

[cnsba]

So after about 3 years of feeling like total death, I had a plain old independant practice doctor , do a full blood panel, the 6 vials one.. He said everything was normal triglycerides, sugar, sex binding hormone, estradiol (a lil high) , for a 35 y/o male. Test was 650, free was 21 , but a huge red flag was up when he looked at IGF-1 , it was 92. He said this was way low . Naturally i got the old, "outta my practice range" . Went to Endo, took a stim test. Same result, but got the "i want a 3rd opinion from the endo.. So off to a special special endo

They the (medical ahemm pro's ) suspect it may be mitochondrial disease from working at ground zero , as a police officer for weeks after 9/11 ....

Any suggestions / pm me... could use em...

You would have thought your Government would pull out all the stops for a guy that worked at ground zero on 9/11..

I hope you get all the top quality help you deserve bro...

Thanks for your service!!!!
If there is an Igf-1 prob then it can be treaded with replacment therapy. Hope you won't need it.
