Its sad that doctors are so uneducated with anabolics. I was told every time I tried to get help that 340 was not bad age 28-35. Guess they want me to be below 200. I will find a doc when the time comes or ill go with online doctor or just trt myself.
Yea im at 340 now at age 40.
It really comes down to how you feel. I still have decent energy, no sexual sides, etc plus my free test is around 75 so the test I am producing in not bound and can be used by my body.
Its just a number, really comes down to how you feel. If you are always tired, cant get hard, etc then the number is almost irrelevant (unless you have higher test and its mental/psychological) and TRT will help.
I know at some point TRT is in my future. My primary is on TRT and hes pretty well educated on the mater so luckily when Im ready I can get a script pretty easily plus the necessary bloods run.
Thats the one thing with doctor prescribed vs self prescribed TRT. Its nice having a legal source always available and bloods run covered under health insurance. TRT clinics it depends if they take insurance or not. If paying out of pocket then it can get pricey. The main thing is bloodwork should be run every 3-6 months IMO. No matter what i run or even if im not running anything I check bloods every 3-6 months. You 100% never want to be blind to what is happening in your body. Too many people avoid the doctors, refuse to get annual blood work, etc and then all of a sudden you get hit with a sledgehammer with something that if caught early would be a non-issue or treatable but now is a significant issue.
One of my good friends had a sore throat for almost 18 months. Not a minor sore throat, like really painful. Refused to go to doctors until literally he couldnt even swallow. Turns out he had esophageal cancer and in less than 2 years was dead leaving his wife and 2 kids.
All because he refused to seek treatment. That may have been the end result regardless but at least if caught early the treatment could have potentially had him in remission or extended his life by months/years.
Just throwing that out there. Make sure to get bloods!
