The liver enzymes scare me pretty bad. I’m a union pipefitter, I work at a nuclear facility that draws blood for a full work up on me every year and my doctor also does the same.
somehow, through all the STD test ive taken over the years and all the blood work I’ve taken the doctors completely missed the fact that I had syphilis!
The TRT doctor found it. they think I may have had this close to 10 years. The only reason I’m telling you this is I’m hoping that’s the reason my liver enzymes are where they are.
I just finished around with penicillin and I took this blood test.
Every doctor told me they don’t test for syphilis anymore because it’s so rare, I felt like saying, is it rare or you guys are just not fkn testing for it?
Depending on dosage and duration, some antibiotics can raise liver enzymes. I had bacteremia around '06 and '07 and was on IV nafcillin and I believe the other was vancomycin. Anyway they weekly monitored blood chemistry including liver enzymes for the whole 12 weeks I had the IV pump, plus another 6 weeks.
Edit: Higher bf% can cause higher levels of T to E aromatization, but there's no " sliding scale" for dosage. He should be testing E2 to monitor and adjust as needed. If your E2 is tanked, your joints can give you a lot of pain.
