Just had bloodwork done last week

 

[asteelz]

you need to provide some information first, because nobody knows who you are or what your asking.

are you on or off cycle? how old are you? how much do you weigh. etc etc..

you have what seems like lower end T for a mid age male, and high RBC with low MCV which isnt good, but then again we dont know anything about you.

Nothing too concerning assuming you're natural right now. I'd want glucose to be lower though but I don't know if you were fasted or not.

Agreed. Things look good. You may be deficient on Iron due to the MCV and MCH levels. Now with Glucose I'm constantly 104-106 for 10 years now fasted. That level of 107 is fine. In fact most physicians in the know how say the healthiest Glucose level is average of 100. Lower than 80 is not healthy. And you don't want to be over 120. Fasted or not fasted.

donate blood maybe?

 

[pahlevan]

I second Asteelz. what are your stats. Are you on anything?

 

[Sunny]

I'm early 40's. About 5'8" and my weight is about 175 to low 180's. I take 125mgs of test e. every 7-10 days. I don't train or eat like I used to. I have zero sex drive without test.

Great info. It was 99 six months ago. Thanks. I take nexium every day and I can't absorb b12 because of it. That is what I've read.

TUESDAY, Dec. 10, 2013 (HealthDay News) -- People who take certain acid-reflux medications might have an increased risk of vitamin B-12 deficiency, according to new research.

Taking proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) to ease the symptoms of excess stomach acid for more than two years was linked to a 65 percent increase in the risk of vitamin B-12 deficiency. Commonly used PPI brands include Prilosec, Nexium and Prevacid.

I've been on many GERD health discussion boards and many others have the same problem.

Your rbc count is high and hematocrit level is in range so its not likely to be iron deficiency like i mentioned. Since you mentioned the b-12 issue its most likely that since low b-12 will lower mcv/mch levels.
