Getting a blood panel tomorrow

[AWN2004]

Before these posts were made, I had a script to get my blood drawn. I have been off all HRT for a year now and I need to know where I stand. I hope in recent light of all the bad crap thats been happening people become more aware and pledge to live a truely healthly life (to the best of their ability). I will post the results when I get them.

i am going next week for a full physical and bloodwork but I am not sure what panels I should ask for, I will search this board and find out though. Anyway let us know your results and i will post mine also. I haven't seen a doc in almost 9 years so i am not too sure what to expect.

Im in the same boat.. Getting everything checked out on the 10th.. According to Big A's sticky these are the important tests..

The blood tests that you need are: full blood count,
liver and kidney function tests, FSH, LH, TSH,
cholesterol.
If the Total protein test in the liver tests is high,
that is because of your diet. You need to keep an eye
on the Billirubin and Urea test results. Your FSH and
LH will be suppressed - that's normal because of the
gear. If the TSH is low, add 20mcg/d T3. If the kidney
function is off, then drink more. Protein stresses the
kidneys, so you need more fluids.

But i know others have talked about creatinine, free test levels and total test levels.. It would be great if their was a comprehensive blood panel sticky...

how old are you,,,
a total test of 412 is pretty close to the basement...and your TSH...anything over 2.2, could be hypothyroid...yours is pretty high..

31 going on 32. My Doctor knows my history and I don't have any of the other symptoms associated with hypothroidism which we talked about. I do drink way too many speed stack type energy drinks which could be causing that. I will get another panel before the year is up just to see. I don't feel that bad at all as far as energy goes and we didn't discuss HRT. Libido is fine, muscle pumps in the gym are good, appetite is good too. I will just have to wait and see.
