Hey all, I've had symptoms of T issues and did some bloodwork recently. The results are in Spanish, so I made a quick translated chart instead of posting the raw results. I got a full panel done as well so if anything is missing let me know and I'll add it below.
I'm 5'11" 180lbs. A bit skinnyfat but lift, do martial arts, or something outdoors almost daily. Walk daily 30-60 minutes.
Diet isn't great - my triglycerides are way too high, as is my uric acid (gout). So I know diet can be improved to then improve overall results.
Sleep ~8 hours per night. Do have excess stress in my life.
ED issues, trouble building muscle, skinnyfat, lethargic, low sex drive, hair loss, lacking confidence and drive, some excessive breast tissue.
I also used various SSRIs for many years and recently learned about PSSD. Anhedonia is also common - again, recently learned about this and a light bulb went off.
Take a multivitamin, 2.5 mg cialis, 100 mg allopurinol (for gout), 80 mg aspirin, 30-40 mg zinc daily. Also take about 10-20 mg Viagra before sex.
Last September my total T level was 680. I'm in a country that has various legit TRT options available w/out a prescription, so I'm leaning towards starting a low-dose protocol and testing markers every 3-4 months. Looking for some feedback before I do. I also have an appt with a urologist this week.
Thanks.
