So, it seems 5 alpha reductase type 2 is just fine in converting T to DHT. Well within range now. However, as I stated before, progesterone is high. Tested it twice to be sure it wasn't fluke. But it's not. Some of the guys from here in the WhatsApp group already know, but my doctor has paired with a specialized laboratory here in the USA that tests neurosteroids. We're going to have that lab work done here soon to see what 5 alpha reductase type 1 looks like. This test is very wide and literally tests everything you need to know to pinpoint what the hormonal issue is in PFS.
Beyond the science, I'm ok, I suppose. I'm getting back into my work and can function. Just wobbly, feel pretty off, sleep is shit, no libido, ringing ears that comes and goes. The usual.
