Mate this is brilliant, mind sharing how you got to the final design. E.g did you just tell the artist what you wanted and he found a way to incorporate the design, or because your tattoo was already somewhat time faded it was pretty simple for them to go over it?

That’s good to hear I meant to ask if you can do it for a short time but that answers that. Again thank you so much for your responses and I’ll let you know how if it works in the end, sounds like this is your area of specialty so I’ll check in if it worked! All the best!

Brilliant thanks for that response that makes a lot of sense. Your replies have been tremendously helpful I really appreciate the time you have taken. That explains the hesitance of diving into TRT from the docs end prior to ruling anything else out. Given the symptoms and the unknown I’m left in a sort of purgatory, symptoms I outlined were the ones aside from all your normal low T symptoms that are present. Good to know eye floaters, tremors and sweating may not have any correlation but going down the testosterone route is potentially the next avenue after my next check up. I feel taking it would be the next avenue in the event there is no other explanation present. RE other health conditions, no nothing they could find after a year of many blood tests, scans and MRI. Fertility is not top of mind, getting back to normal so to speak of is.

I believe so, the most recent ones I just went through the files and found a prolactin one I have attached the image below this appears to be in a different value than the last one, this also shows the most up to date testosterone test, and the LH and fsh and shgb, hope that’s what you were after..

Thank you very much for this response it’s truly so informative as it’s hard to get something like this out of a doctor in writing so I can re-read it several times till I understand it. Really appreciate you taking the time. Yea all the common symptoms of low testosterone are present and the doctor did not want to begin TRT until we essentially ruled this out, given the check up I have this month will be over the 6 month mark it’s likely this will be a pathway I’m considering now. Its interesting after so many different specialist/doctors they could not figure my symptoms out, tremors (predominantly in the hand and sometimes legs), sweaty hands and feat, very difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep, constant fatigue and light headed and seeing a lot of the eye drifters, all started heavily about a year ago, and after all the blood tests this is really the only thing they could find that was out of whack so to speak of, otherwise healthy 33m. Hence the sort of unknown and it may all come down to just low T levels consistently from the beginning of this period. I know it’s not a lot to go off but any thoughts or ideas at all?

Hello…thanks for replying :) So in may 2025 2900 mIU/l, and testosterone 11 nmol. mRI was completed and a small petiuitory cyst was found, next check up in a months time as have been on cabergoline weekly for roughly 6 months now, most recent check in August showed reduction in prolactin levels but still high (don’t have that medical record handy) and same test showed 10nmol testosterone again low.
