Got cleared to go back to normal training again

[Howard]

WOw.  THe last time i was checked I was at the low end of 140.  I cannot have HRT right now as my physicians have said so.  They explained it to me but I can't think of exactly what they said.  I know. I've made mistakes in the post but I am too tire =d to correct them right now.   Tired.

At this point you may as well, get on the estrogen, grow your hair out, buy a bra and snip your tally-wacker

Change your ID name to Scarlett and post a thong pic on get big with a WYHI poll.

Hope this helps.

If I were you I'd look into HRT more and get clarification from your doctors. I don't know what health issues you have but chances are there's nothing that would absolutely disqualify you from treatment, at least a moderate dose of transdermal gel.
A friend of mine had levels pretty much identical to yours at age 50 and docs said he needed immediate intervention, they wondered how on earth he even had the energy to go to work So they double dosed the gel immediately, he later went on the Test Undecanoate shots that you only take every couple of months.

Ok? But how does a dog with snipped nuts function so well without TRT?

[Howard]

About 50% of total testosterones is bound to SHBG, most of the rest is bound to albumin, leaving about 1 to 3% free.
Albumin bound testosterone is weakly bound and is thought to be bioavailable to an extent. Some blood tests will show bioavailable as well as total and free.

SHBG itself might be beneficial and may enhance androgen action too. Too lazy to find the paper I saw a while back discussing this.

My dog seems pretty lazy, but he got his nuts snipped.
What's my excuse?

Yes, that is more accurate. When I get tested I always get both my Total and Free test measured.

Snipped nuts is all the more reason to be taking testosterone....unless they were snipped because you believe you were born with the wrong gender.

Spaying and neutering dogs can increase health and lifespan. This is probably because they stay in their own yards where it is safer.

You are just plain lazy....no excuse.

As many times as I've asked him to, my urologist never includes free test in my labs. Pisses me off.

THIS is why I'll outlive every getbigger...except Wes

Go to privatemdlabs.com. You can get your own tests done for 50-75 usually.

No free test test.  Costs money.

My oldest sister once said that I'm not going to outlive everyone, it just seems that way because I'm such a boring individual.

Because a dog’s physical and cognitive demands are far less than those of a human’s - except for yours.

You're the boss. He works for you. When I asked my doctor that I wanted an igf test included in my blood test he said that it was not necessary. I said that I wanted it done and he again said he didn't see the purpose and it seems like a needless expense. I just told him that he's not paying for it, I want it, it's no skin off his nose, just do it. I then explained to him that I got my igf tested using an online service and it was way low. I am trying a SARM that is supposed to stimulate igf production and I what to see if it works.

My doctor initially didn't do a free Test but just the total Test. When I asked him that isn't the Free Test the important reading as it is the Test that counts he did agree and included it in.

We now have a viable explanation for my retarded posts and numerous failed marriages.

You’re awfully polite and submissive in threads in which you CANNOT alter or delete posts you don’t like from people you don’t like.

How genuinely transparent…

Good for you, Pellius.  You are the customer and should get what you want.

[Jack D. Muscle]

irish coach is nothing but a self absorded  attention whore, he creates more topics about himself than anyone on getbig. constantly posts old pics of himself, coach would have a hard time out smarting a rock.

This guy had a stroke and refused to go to the ER because he's "stubborn"??

[AbrahamG]

This guy had a stroke and refused to go to the ER because he's downsy.

Yes.

I've been pleasantly surprised at my PCP's openness to testing anything I ask for.  I've been with him a long time so he knows how long I've worked in the medical industry and respects my knowledge. I even sent him a sample hormone panel and he found codes to get each test reimbursed.  I do have to remind him at times to include things like e2 vs just total e and to add bio free. These poor guys see tons of patients and forget sometime. I now use the portal to send lists of tests I feel I "need". 

Is your doc prescribing you trt?
