Today I have been at a doctor because I am low t as fuck. I found out about this because I did bloodwork when I wanted to rule out other reasons than mbp for my hair loss.
My
total testosterone: 409, normal: 350 - 950, higher is better
free testosterone: 9.1 pg/ml, normal:13-28., higher is better
Free Androgen Index: 27, normal 30-150, higher is better
SHGB: 52 nmol/l, normal 15-48, lower is better
My total testosterone is already on the low side but still in the 'low normal' range. All other values are absolute shit and would explain why I can't sleep, have brain fog, low drive in general, etc.
I showed this to my doc. His fucking answer:
Your total t is in the normal range, you should not worry about the other values to much.
WTF? Free test is way more important than total. Doctors like this should be forbidden to fucking work.
After that, he offered me to retest in a month, which makes sense as hormones can have spikes. But he said he will only test my total t. And only if my total t is bad he might consider testing the (more important) free t again.
I don't understand how a professionally trained doctor can be so ignorant. He has black on white on paper that my total t was on the lower end of 'normal' while all other values are dog shit and yet he insists on only using that one as an indicator of whether my hormones are fine or not.
I feel like I am living in a country with 80 million crazy retards, while USAcels can just go to anti-aging clinics and throw a bunch at them to get everything that will make their life at least bearable. On top of that, most of the few black pilled surgeons are us based as well.
