UPDATE 4/16: Second fasting test was also very low. One more fasting test to go in a couple weeks. Doctor did find that when my spouse and I were trying to have kids over 20 years ago, that my T levels were very low at that time as well. Likely impacted my fertility. No problem though...

@cmclinton Then something isn't adding up. I also track my meal plan for each meal and use a digital scale, so I'm not guesstimating. Macros are 245g Carbs, 185g Protein, 82g fat. I try to subtract calories from the carbs so typically eating less Will try cutting even further. Perhaps...

@cmclinton Edited. Still suspicious? 5'10" and 36" waist.

@leo_fender Will work with endocrinologist to have the return to normal levels. Would love to have the benefits without all the side effects I've been reading about when it's not adjusted correctly. Will also consider the methods so that levels are more consistent throughout the week rather...

@msallyjm Again, not looking for the muscle gains (although anything more is a silver lining) but all the other benefits compared to hypogonadism.

@jcm2000 Was diagnosed with sleep apnea decades ago and have treated it successfully with APAP (auto CPAP) and have very low AHI numbers now. Yeah, it was a serious problem in the past but addressed. I'm a safe driver because of successful sleep, no fears of drowsy driving.

@alascott How'd you guess my last name was McGwire? (nah, just kidding. Seriously not looking at this for superphysiological reasons, just want my life back)

@heegar House cleaning is a workout. https://www.maidforyou.com.au/blog/calories-burned-cleaning-house/ Lot's of people may very well be working out more per day than thought as it's not just the formal "workout time" that is a factor.

@ashwalker I already take 5000 IU of Vitamin D per day and my blood levels showed 45.5 ng/mL with 30-100 as a normal range. Pretty much all my blood markers are really good except two: * Testosterone -223 ng/dL (300-1000 normal range) * BUN/Creatinine Ratio - 23. But that's because I'm...

@aloverofrigtheousness Yep, during a fasting blood draw.

@gm0nkx Did just fine into my 50's with obesity, high cholesterol, diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Didn't need a coach then. Had a stroke and sh*t got real. Checked into Gyms with coaches and availability, none were really close and most were expensive beyond just gym...

@curtswill Primarily poor posture and lack of instruction. But the rest is super embarrassing.... But I suspect it was the untrained/uninformed need to show off to the younger bucks at the gym. Doing a full lift over my head (screaming in my head the entire time) thinking yeah I can lift...

@curtswill Had shoulder repair (right). Full on SLAP tear with Bicep tendon failure. Had the surgery, bicep relocation with bone screw and then PT. Saved me from the popeye look. Was told I'd loose perhaps 20% of my strength with the relocation. During the PT, I learned all that I had...

@bassplayer72 Because it destroys your kidneys!!! Just kidding, but tell your doctor you use that supplement. The creatinine test will show high as it cannot differentiate creatine enough. Without that knowledge, your doctor will be concerned about your kidneys. Instead the other tests...

@mbennett024 Doctor has scheduled additional testing. Going to have it checked twice more over the next several weeks.

@jacobus7522 When I hunt way out in the forest, sometimes I need to hold a deep asian squat for a bit and the stench is pretty bad.. But I suspect the poster intended "stretch".

@mbennett024 Works, but no interest. Spouse is now the only initiator. I can sustain wood but would be in a celibate state if spouse had no interest either. It's not that she's not attractive to me, just no interest but recognize her emotional need and respond to that to keep our marriage...

@lanman87 Do have some symptoms. Don't have ED, but I've not been interested sexually for over a year. Pretty much only respond to spouses needs than being the initiator. Also as I'd mentioned, the feeling of a low tank. So it's not primarily to get jacked, happy where I'm at actually...

55M, 212lbs 5'10" tall, waist 36" and have been experiencing, in my own opinions, good muscle growth. However, I have to force myself (the results have helped maintain consistency) despite overall feeling of low energy anytime I'm not on a pre-workout supplement (which I cannot use more than...
