    You need to keep an eye on your C-reactive protein. At least scale back your lifting then pull that panel again in a few weeks.

    Yeah, I figured that was because of my lifting and also my messed up back. But maybe you can elaborate on what you might think it is?

    Also, is there a SHBG panel in there? Your free T is barely top end of the range.

    Yeah that's why I'm confused. My total test should be way higher also at 600 mg per week but if you read my first post in this thread, maybe that will elaborate a bit.

    Your free T is worse than your total T. You need that SHBG panel for one thing.

    You can Google "C-reactive protein" and get the full rundown, but I would do some investigating.

    I'll just say I had pretty much my whole C-spine deteriorate and then get rebuilt and I wasn't getting that kind of value.

    Personally, my advice would be to drop back to your prescribed TRT values for now.

    Get some good baseline values (including SHBG) and figure out why your C-reactive protein is out of the park. IMHO, that's an important marker that shouldn't be ignored.

    Well at those levels I've been only slightly higher than my trt goal levels haha. But I am just running my prescribed test now.

    You need to get a grip on the C-reactive protein and get that A1C down some. Drop off of the GH too, IMHO.

    Would anavar cause a high c-reactive level? I was taking some then also forgot about that.

    Not that I know of, if anything anavar would blunt your SHBG and give you a higher free T.

    With your A1C trending in the direction it is going, I would drop off of the GH until you get things sorted.

    Edit: You really need to list everything you are on including dosage and duration . You had "forgotten" to mention GH until I asked about it and then you forgot about the anavar.

    Not being an a-hole, but incomplete details give you incomplete and often incorrect answers

    Exactly what I was thinking. That would be my only guess other than the possibility that both sources are under dosed…but I’m no expert.
