Re: blood work results-NORMAL?

September 30, 2007

your levels are still to low I try to keep my Total and Free T levels up

into the upper 1/3 of my labs range. Your total is below the mid range try to

get it over 600. Your Free will come up with this and your low Estradiol. Get

on some DHEA your very low I take 25 mgs a day and it gets me to mid range.

Here read this link it's all in there.

Free testosterone (Direct)..12.2 ------7.2-24.0

DHEA-Sulfate.....................75------- 70-310

Estradiol ...........................16---------- 0-53

Testosterone-Serum .......465------- 241-827

TSH.............................. 1.015 -----0.350-5.500

Hope this works.

Thanks

,

I had similar results, but I was only test total and free, my results

were:

Result

Ref

Free testosterone (Direct)..12.8 ------8.7-25.1

Testosterone-Serum ..........375------- 241-827

(Done through Lab Corp)

I thought for sure the doctor would say something with me being 37, but to

my disappointment and surprise, he said it was normal enough not to cause ED

or fatigue. (I've also been getting strange skin rashes in my right calf as

well that has my PCP puzzled, but taking Desonide for that.) He wanted to

put me on Cialis for ED. What really upset me was that he commented that I

wasn't 17 any more, but I also said that I'm not 85 either and that might be

normal for an 85 year old, but not a healthy 37 your old. He disagreed and I

walked away unhappy.

I showed the results to my therapist (attacking the ED problem from both

ends) and she thought they were low for my age as well, and the bizarre part

is that she recommended me to the group that this doctor belonged to. I get

to talk to her in a few days and see what she says about that.

A little background: I do have a fatty liver (hereditary with alcoholism in

the family), but I don't drink, have normal blood pressure, normal

cholesterol, and despite being 6' 6 " and 285 lbs, I have a 40 inch waist. (I

could stand to loose a few pounds, but my BMI is under 25 using the waist

measurement method. I also have a scale that measure body fat and it has me

at 22.7%, which is suppose to match BMI pretty closely.) All my life, I've

had well built lower half, but I've always had low upper body strength

despite workouts and Karate. I've done some research and found out that

fatty liver can cause some Testosterone issues, but I'm unclear and where to

go from her.

If anyone can recommend someone in the Northern New Jersey area, let me

know.

Thanks,
