Blood work received today

[bulldoghorn]

Well, I just received my blood work from personal labs. Most readings were in normal range, with the exception of TSH(5.270) and Testosterone (169). The TSH is high, and the Test is very low. I suppose I am the perfect candidate for low T supplementation! That explains several issues I have been having. It also gives me much more confidence with doing a cycle after many years, or should I say decades.

Not sure if there should be concern over the high TSH, I have never had any problems(unless you ask my wife's opinion :-0)

Yes, and the lifestyle I lived for 20 years might(clear throat), have impacted that low T level.

You need to be concerned with your thyroid. That number is high, considering the most modern scale is .3 - 3.0. High TSH means your thyroid is under performing and your pituitary is trying to stimulate it to produce more (Thyroid Stimulating Hormone) and normalize. Hypothyroid is a direct cause of low testosterone . You need to fix this first and then address your T levels if needed. Take some time and read at Stop the Thyroid Madness™ - Hypothyroidism and thyroid mistreatment

Thanks kelkel, I'll have a go at that article, and do more research on this TSH measure.
