Hi Guys,
So got bloods done, haemocrat .52
Testosterone 605.
But, suffering pressure headaches, and facial pain
I know it's the haemocrat being at .52
Last October it was at .52 and had pressure headaches, my endo took 1 unit blood and all headaches etc stopped, all good
Been taking 50mg twice a week since then, and now in the past week my haemocrat is back again at .52
My endo so busy he cant see me for a few weeks so I paid privately to have another 1 unit drawn, and headaches etc stopped.
Problem is my endo and my doctor both said I've to reduce my testosterone to keep my haemocrat from rising, my endo wants to lower my testosterone so my results come in around 350 ngdl
I'm trying to fight against this, as at 605 I'm feeling great except for the pressure headaches.
My doc said try the gel patches and use every day and get a steadier numbers, and that may keep haemocrat from rising, based on that
I'm thinking maybe inject 14mg every day see does that help with lowering haemocrat.
Thing is I can see my doc and endo eventually saying no more to drawing 1 unit of blood every 3 months to lower haemocrat, my doc says at .52 I'm looking for trouble of a heart attack or blood clots and stroke
What would you guys do in my position
Thanks guys
Mike
