Archived from groups: misc>fitness>weights (more info?)
The old thread isn't showing up on my newsgroup reader anymore so I'm
posting again. My blood test results just came in the other day:

Cortisol - AM 21.7 (ref 4.3 - 22.4)
Prolactin 13.9 (ref 2.1 - 17.7)
Serum Testosterone 255 (ref 241-827)
Free Testosterone (direct) 7.4 LOW (ref 8.7-25.1)
Estradiol 16 (ref 0-53)
DHEA Sulfate 514 (ref 120-520)
Free T3 (thyroid) 3.7 (ref 2.3-4.2)
LH 5.1 (ref 1.5-9.3)

Everything is fine except T... but I'm not happy about the cortisol being on
the high end.. but I was stressed out and tired that day. I think my doctor
should give me a 24 hour cortisol test.

My appointment is Monday. Any ideas based on those results?

Thanks,
Richard

A prescription for testosterone.

My prolactin was 65 using that same scale.

Post your results in alt.support.impotence, someone there might have
some thoughts.

I posted there. Well, I got my Androgel today and an rx for an MRI. Let's
see what happens with this androgel.
