I've been experiencing low test for quite some time.
I went to my GP. Of course she wasn't in. I had just walked in.
I spoke to another doctor. I explained to her everything that was going on.
She said I need to get lab work done. I set up an appointment with my regular doctor (She's been my doctor since I was born) and I go Feb 20th for lab work and she said results will be in within a hour. I can sit and wait for them.
But do the regular doctor offices test for free test ? Total test?
Should I ask for them to check those ?
I had blood work done 7 years ago and my test levels were 550. They didn't measure free test or total test...they just said my levels were at 550.
That was 7 years ago and in the afternoon. I had eaten breakfast, lunch, had soda, and other snacks prior. I had just walked in that day for other issues and they decided to do blood work. They thought I could of been diabetic. That's why they did blood work right off the draw that day. I never went back after that. I was told then I was not diabetic. They had said everything was normal and I was good to go. I did have a little higher white blood cell count. Other than that, nothing was out of range. I mentioned the low sex drive, no energy etc...back then but they said I was way too young to have low test. They handed me Cialis samples to try. I took one pill. It helped get me hard but I never took them again. I don't want to take pills for ever. They basically blew me off that day and wanted me to start taking Cialis for the issues. I was 25. I'm almost 32 now.
Test at 550 5 years ago I don't know if that means anything or not or if it could of lowered that much in 5 years
I do know one thing. For many years I've dealt with low energy, always tired, no sex drive, and when I do have sex its almost a full time job staying hard and doing it. Unable to drop fat in the midsection even when my diet was spot on to a T. I lost weight but mid section just wouldn't go.
I'd appreciate any information prior to my appointment. I just don't want to walk in demanding stuff and acting like some type of lunatic when I go see her.
