Hello everyone,
New member as of 3/1/13.
I am seeking a recommendation on a TRT/HRT Doc in the Georgia/Gwinnett Area...I've made contact with lowtestosterone .com but they do not have an office open in Sugar Hill, GA as of yet.
Info: 37 yo, 6' 0", 212lb, hitting the gym 4-5 days per week since November - Heavy lifting with Plyometrics for cardio - healthy diet. For the past 5 years I have been suffering from lack of energy, decreased strength, mood, low libido, soft erection, .
Blood work from LabCorp performed on 1/9/2013
Testosterone = 465 (norm 348-1197)
Free Test = 6.8 (norm 8.7-25.1)
Albumin = 4.3 (norm 3.3-5.5)
LH = 2.3 (norm 1.7-8.6)
FSH = 1.5 (norm 1.5-12.4)
My Urologist does not want me to start TST due to the lifetime commitment, but I have been feeling horrible for the past 5 years and I am ready for a change.
I have an appt scheduled with LabCorp this Monday, 3/4/13 to have more BW performed for the following so I will post those results when received:
• Total Testosterone
• Bioavailable testosterone (aka Free and Loosely Bound)
• Free Testosterone
• SHBG
• DHT (gel users especially pay attention to this)
• Estradiol (specify “sensitive” assay for males) - E-Sensitive 140244 - CPT Code 82670
• LH
• FSH
• Prolactin
• Cortisol
• Thyroid Panel (complete)
• CBC
• Comprehensive Metabolic Panel
• Lipid Panel
• PSA (age dependent)
• IGF-1, IGFBP-3 (if HGH therapy is being considered)
• Vitamin D
The knowledge this forum has is amazing!!! Thanks.
