I would not be concerned about that number. If you want, you can donate blood every 3 months just to make sure your blood doesn’t get too thick but I doubt it happens at 1000 and not being on testosteron.

frick, I didn’t know having high T could be an issue. One of the signs is low HDL. I can never get my HDL higher no matter how much exercise and good food I eat. I didn’t know it had such bad side effects. I guess I just need to keep an eye on it.

Subtle brag here, baws. Got back my blood work today. 1010 ng/dl. No other numbers were given.

You probably got a tumor or something

The past few months I've had some similar issues.

Slow to recover, tired all the time, not as much drive in the gym, lower libido, etc. Going see a doc about it at the end of the month.

I got off of gear completely in early 2014. In October of 2015 my total test was 399/ng/dl and free was 12 ng/dl. October of 2018 my total test was 509 ng/dl at the age of 29. Not sure what to expect, I feel bleh most of the time kind of similar to how I felt when I'd gotten off of gear.

It’s probably not your test levels bro

Feel like the podcast plutocrats tricked us into thinking the reason we don’t feel like getting up in the morning is testosterone when it’s really being forced to pick taxes against our will in this banana republic

How are yall getting these tests? Doc charged me $130 for a total and free test last time. Is there a cheaper way to get these more frequently?

The two I referenced were part of my yearly physical which is free through my insurance.

My doctor ordered it, insurance paid. Not sure if it's part of a yearly or not.

If you are interested/doing hormone therapy we charge $150 but its a CBC, CMP, TSH, Free T3, Total T, Free T, Estradiol, and Lipid which is done initially/yearly. Then its $15 for follow up Total T/Free T.

If you come to our walk in clinic to just get it checked, it's $60 or $80.

That’s why most hormone replacement clinics don’t deal with insurance at all. We only offer the labs through insurance. But it’s cheaper to just do cash unless your insurance covers for wellness and we code it that way.

Same blood work we do for $150 cash, insurance will charge 1k for. Crazy.
