42 years old, 241 ng/dL total T, and 1.4 pg/mL free T
Dear experts,
ok, so I have pretty low but acceptable total T (241 ng/dL)
but a very low level of free T, it would seem (1.4 pg/mL)
This was measured last year, when I was 41, and it feels like it's even lower now.
Question: How do you explain the discrepancy between total T (OK) and free T (not OK)?
My doctor, who is not an endocrinologist, has recommended I do the following:
1) Self inject 1cc of Depotestosterone (200mg/cc) every 10 days
2) Take 1mg tablet of Arimidex 2 times per week.
3) Take 1mg tablet of Propecia daily
Does this seem good an professional to you? He recommended the Propecia because I lost about 50% of my hair from a couple of years of T-treatment a few years ago.
The only other med I am taking is Adderall 10mg once per day. That is because it was hard for me to concentrate and stay awake. I am thinking this might get better with the T?
But will injecting testosterone possibly help only with the total T?
What would be the symptoms of someone who had enough free T and not enough total T?
What would you expect my symptoms to be from having (barely) enough total T and not enough free T?
Would love to get input from you experts.
Many thanks,
Smithy
