Over there they are much more lenient and don't mind putting the health decisions into the patient. My doctor there supported me seeing an endocrinologist and wanted to experiment with HRT post alcoholism but again I passed with flying colors, all of that testing years ago happened WWWAAAYYY before I even know what HRT was.

Testing post cycle, post PCT but within 48 hours of a prednisone blast
Total 688
Free 97

My free is low compared to prior blood work but I can't tell if it's from cycle use or the prednisone.

Before any cycling
Total 940ish
Free 290ish+ in the high 200s.

My free was in fact above the range you are reading that right.

Based on these results on my own person that is a substantial drop. But I can't tell, again, if the prednisone use messed with my levels or if that's post cycle damage.

Regardless of my levels I'm taking TRT for my OP mentioned reasons. I have zero idea what my levels were pre Lyme disease but I have never been able to recover my original strength and size, period.

I can try to order another test, my doctor is an IDIOT he won't understand why I want another and my endo appointment is 5/22/19. Keep in mind I might be back in Massachusetts (thank god)before that date.

I don't know if my pre Lyme body came from my genetics (pretty sure it did)or if my blood work pre cycle had anything to do with it either. Non the less it doesn't matter anymore I'm living in the present.
If u just finished PCT then quite possibly u haven't fully recovered yet, and your lower numbers don't indicate any damage. Full recovery can take a lot longer. Also, always include ranges because 688 in a 300-1200 range is not the same as in a 200-900 range. I doubt TRT alone would help u, the blasting part obviously would, but u can't blast all the time due to health risks, so assuming u recover fine with PCT u could just cycle and reevaluate later. It might not be as effective as blast and cruise, but safer.
