Hey all,
So I just started TRT after seeing my Physician and explaining my symptoms and having blood work done. He sent me to a Quest Diagnostics lab to get bloodwork done and my Total Testosterone was 23 ng/dl. Now that I know how low I am I realize all my symptoms are that of low Testosterone. I'm also concerned that irreparable damage has been done to my physical/psychological development because of my low Testosterone levels? It's unbelievable and infuriating that my parents and doctors hadn't noticed that my Testosterone levels were so low. Are doctors worthless or what? My doctor had me get a 1ml 200 mg/dl injection (IM) of Testosterone Cypionate. I will get another one 28 days later and then at least a week after that (to prevent a false high) come back to see him with new blood work results. I called the office yesterday and told a nurse to have the doctor look at www.mens-hormonal-health.com and get back to me today with feedback. I also scheduled an appointment with an Endocrinologist, but it's months away (they all seem to be like that).
