first post, but long time visitor. i will try and keep it short.
45yr old male 6’4" 315lbs ( 275lbs 4 years ago active and strong)
3 years ago all the symptoms of low t, family dr says im suffering from depression, puts me on meds and orders blood work. says all is normal, total t is 11.6 nmol/L with a range of 8.4-28.8
took myself off meds after about 4 months, symptoms still there but lived with them.
last year another visit to family dr. more blood work which comes back normal with a total T of 11.5nmol/L this time. after some discussion he agreed to refer me to our one and only endocrinologist.
4 months later I am informed that the specialist doesn’t need to see me, my levels look normal.
Just recently i pulled some strings and got a endocrinologist 2 hours away to see me in person. He ordered more complete blood work but was clear that if nothing came back low his hands were tied ( reside in Canada, not sure if that makes a difference)
here are the results from this months blood work, i only included the results that were out of range or close to out of range.
MCV 80fl range 80-100
MCH 27.6pg range 27.5-33
FSH 5.4
LH 5.1
Estradiol 131 range<162
Free test LO 162pmol/L range 196-636
Bioavail test 3.8nmol/L range 3.6-11.2
everything else was in check, even blood pressure was great which shocked the nurse due to my size.
Just curious what to expect with my followup visit. its clear my free test is low. is there something i should insist on? or questions i should ask that i would not know to ask.
any advice is appreciated, and my apologies if something was not included in post that should have been. as i mentioned this is my first post.
