Been gone awhile. High b.p. and a new doctor.

Good to see you Hawk. Post up more labs if you can.

Early July my labs came back as
Total t 483 (250-1100)
Free t 127 (35-155)
Hct 49.8%

Knowing i had blood work coming, i cut my dose down to 50mg 2x/wk

I normally take 65mg 2x a week, but i could tell from my initial visits with this doctor that he doesn't like higher test levels. My previous blood work from low t (which iprovided to him) showed me in the 800s which kinda freaked my doctor out).

This doc is a quack, but he's filling my scripts. He hasn't tested e2 yet, and didn't understand when iasked him to continue my script for anastrozole (although he did write it) .


Also concerning blood pressure (a good story on its own)

I was averaging 150/100 which prompted me to visit the doc. He wrote for lisinopril 10mg a day. This brought me down to around 145/95.

Went in for follow up, got his PA since he was gone that day. At first she wanted to combo a diuretic, which i refused. I work in the heat and have ahard enough time staying hydrated.
She countered by suggesting to raise my lisinopril, which i agreed was the proper course of action. She started typing the new script in, so iasked her what the new dose would be.

She replied 40mg daily. To which, i naturally refused. What doctor quadruples amedication instead of titrating up?

She agreed to 20mg for now, ill self monitor and well adjust if necessary.

I'm currently getting 135/85 consistently, ifeel like well provably bump to 30mg and ill be good enough.

I feel like some of these doctors get their license from a cracker jack box
