OK, I met with my doctor to review the blood test results. He is very concerned about the low (almost non-existent) free testosterone. What he said is so troubling is that my serum testosterone is fine (normal, but at the lower end of normal) because the two numbers usually track together.
He's going to call an endocrinologist, and said he may need to refer me to be seen by him.
So, two questions...
1) Does anyone here have a similar issue (discordance between free-T and total-T), and what if anything is there to worry about?
2) Should I tell the doctor about the PM usage? I'm currently taking 1500mg/day (which from what I've read on this forum is actually a quite low dosage). Also, I had only been taking the PM for about 2 weeks before I had the tests done.
Thanks for ANY input you can give me!
