Blood work

**Pegasus** · 02-05-2012

Well I was taking handfulls of fish oil and it did nothing for my blood fats. The doc convinced me my high trigly it was to down to alcohol, so I stoped for 3months, made not a jot of difference. My mum tried low fat diet to lower her trygly and no help there either. So the question is what are you going to do if it is not where you want it?

Fish oil helps circulation so it should also help EQ. My endocrinologist recommends 1000 mg per day. Another advantage of being a diabetic - I get to have my blood tested every three months. I just recently calculated my uninsured medical expenses for tax purposes and have so far come up with over $3500. Another disadvantage of getting old.

Ok so free levels of testosterone is important, thanks not2big

I want to get my hormones tested in order to see if anything is too high or low as it could be the cause of my abnormally long refractory period

Any more suggestions?

The refrac periods claimed by the guys here should not be taken serious ,this is the interner after all.

Your thyroid can sometimes cause ED/EQ issues. You should have TSH, Free T3, Free T4, and Total T3 checked as well. However, any Uro worth his salt will know what to test for.

ok thanks

I am looking this stuff up myself because my last doctor was incompetent! She tested for testosterone, blood sugar, creatine, aids, hepatitis, and something else that I can't remember. Basically she looked for stuff that was irrelevant so this time I am going to specifically ask for certain things to be tested
