O.K. We've thoroughly discussed Free T, reviewing other threads in the process. Some feel that free T is a test worth performing others do not. My very experienced endo questioned the value of many of the labs I've requested over the last two years. He's a reasonable open minded man willing to consider all studies presented to him and allow for experimentation. He saw no value in repeating SHBG and now I understand why. His focus is on the core tests mentioned in the
Discount Labs post. Those demonstrate that I've done quite well on high dose.
No value in repeating SHBG? okay, because it's a completely static level that never changes when TRT is started.
No formula was ever posted to show how the 3.49% Free of Total was calculated. I'll stop asking as it is of no clinical value anyhow.
he divided total by free test without accounting for the different units I think.
There never was any disagreement from me about the value of consistent dosing. When a member states that there has been a deviation in the last month that couldn't be helped then that information should be accepted at face value. The badger is then asked rather bluntly to stop prying for personal information. Nevertheless he persists.
Badger? lol you're the one going on and on about how bad the world is on a testosterone forum. when a member states there's been a deviation in the last month but wants us to look at his labs, yeah that's pretty freakin relevant.
O.K. man you've demonstrated to the world that regardless what you may know about TRT you live in a bubble of faux reality with bragging rights about democracy and justice. You are clueless about hardship and the greedy one-sided "recovery" which has destroyed the lives of so many. While it wasn't my intention to raise these issues in this thread they are relevant to others who must now consider their own prospects for security before beginning a commitment to lifelong TRT . I've raised this elsewhere on these pages.
Clueless about hardship? You have no idea about me or my life. I live in the inner city, make about $15,000 a year, don't have a college degree, had my dad's body dragged out of the house when I was 16 with a self inflicted GSW to the head. Happened in 2010, partly due to the recession. grew up on food stamps and medicaid.
Go ahead. Tell me I live in suburbia in a bubble where my parents pay for everything.
If you're gong to quote then do it accurately. Maximum interval reached was 5 days not 7.
Honest mistake.
That you would suggest those facing serious hardship should waste their time "
complaining about the the law not applying" emphasizes your entitled status along with your ignorance of how things really work in America for the average citizen. . Solzhenitsyn would find your solution of psychiatric hospitals interesting. Others would say reprehensible. I'll say they are out of spirit and not worthy of this forum.
Complaining? Again, you simply refused to read my first 2 suggestions, and complain about the third. The first 2 didn't involve "complaining" it involved going to a website.
I've been called a lot of things in life, entitled isn't one of them. Things are bad in this country, but you aren't making things better with your adversarial attitude towards other people in the same struggle as you.
