Hello everyone,
Long time reader, first time poster. Keep up the good work.
This year I developed premature ejaculation. I've spent most of the year experimenting, mainly through a Peat prism, with methods to improve this. There has been slight improvement, but it's still an issue.
I decided to consult my GP and push for blood tests. This was to indicate any underlying issue and to provide me a baseline and understand where I was after years of Peating.
Background:
Around 15 years ago I developed, what I would describe as, chronic fatigue syndrome or maybe more accurately in my career fibromyalgia. I should state that this is self diagnosis as the doctors are mainly dismissive.
I've experienced a myriad of nebulous symptoms. But the main have been: shortness of breath; acid reflux; general digestive issues; burning sensations concentrated mainly on my neck, back and thighs; painful points on my chest, collar bone and back of neck; brain fog, numbness; spaced out, etc.
This happened after an extremely stressful period.
I've been interested in Peat for probably 8 years. But I only really started applying his ideas about 4 years ago. And I've increased this over the last couple of years. I would say it has massively improved my health. My symptoms are heavily reduced and sometimes almost eliminated.
Emotionally I struggle with motivation, confidence and asserting myself. This has improved, but it is not fully resolved.
Generally my diet:
2 litres milk
1 litre OJ
Lunch of baked potato or yogurt
Evening meal of beef and potatoes
Coconut oil
Gelatin
Lots of coffee
Fruit
Cheese
Supplements:
I'm a bit inconsistent with this, as I'm trying to find a balance. I have a large collection now. But at the moment:
BCAAs
Vitamin K2
Sometimes Zinc.
I've bought quite a few things from @haidut: estroban, energin, pansterone. I stopped these until I had a baseline, though.
I'm not sure I've felt too much effect from any of the standard Peat friendly supplements.
Here are the results I received. Clearly additional tests would have been helpful. But I took what I was given! Any advice? The doctor was happy with the results, but I feel testosterone is too low.
The night before the test I had a few drinks and a late night, so this may have had an effect in the results, especially the low blood sugar
Plasma glucose level: 2.2 nmol/l range 3.7-6.0
Serum free T4 level: 14 pool/l range 10-25
Serum TSH level: 2.63 mU/L range 0.55-4.78

Total cholesterol: HDL ratio: 3.1
Serum triglycerides: 1.42 nmol/L
Serum sodium 145 mmol/L 133-146
Serum potassium: 4.7 mmol/L 3.5-5.3
Serum chloride: 106 mmol/L 2.5-7.8
Serum urea level: 5.1 mmol/L 2.5-7.8
Serum creatine: 88 umol/L 50-120
GFR calculated abbreviated MDRD > 60 ml/min/1.73m2 60-140
Lipid level satisfactory
Hemoglobin estimation 160 g/l
Red blood cell count 5.0 x10^12/1
Haematocrit - PCV 0.44 L/L
Mean corpuscular volume 88 FL
MCH 32 pg
Platelet count 235 x10^9/l
Total white cell count 7.7 x10^9/l
Neutrophil 4.1 x10^9/l
Eosinophil 0.11 x10^9/l
Basophil 0.03 x10^9/l
Lymphocyte 2.7 x10^9/l
Monocyte 0.5 x10^9/l
Large unstained cells 0.27 x10^9/l
Any thoughts would be greatly received.
Thanks.
