Test cycle, when does use cross the line to abuse?

[Lunk1]

So, do you feel that if one (i'll use myself as an example) has his bloodwork done and it came back "normal" free test is a little low and free total test is out of the low range by just a few points, but I still know that I don't feel quite like me and I have signs of declining test, BUT the endo that I saw, didn't want to prescribe me anything because my total test was said to be "normal" at 796 (which dropped when I hurt my back further and couldn't do my cardio to 636), I am wrong for taking my own health into my own hands rather than rely on a Doctor who doesn't specialize in TRT, and openly admits that?

Those are still very normal test levels...if your not "feeling right" perhaps it's something different. You could always get a second or 3rd or 4th opinion. Many ppl Doc shop till they get what they want.

Let's say for a moment I cave and say fine..if your going to treat yourself with a small trt dose to bring levels to a "normal range" then that isn't abuse...the reality is MOST ppl posting are not using TRT doses, they are cycling BB doses.

I know a number of guys who have had test levels drop from age but are still well within normal range. A 45 y.o. should not expect to have the test levels of a 25 y.o. and I'm sure alot of endo's take that into consideration...that's why there is an acceptable RANGE vs an acceptable number!
