I started this journey to cure libido and ED issues. I haven't had morning wood in years. Previously, my urologist gave me cialis and a pat on the back; then told me my issues were in my head. Based on the blood work below, is the prolactin, shbg, or E2 causing my issues. This is week 5 of TRT and my issues are still the same.
What is Protein, Total, Serum? Does this test calculate how much protein I ingest? Does it suggest I need to increase my protein intake?

Blood work after 4 weeks of TRT
--------------------------------------------
Blood test was administered on Friday morning BEFORE Friday's injection.
TRT protocol
Test = 150mg per week( 75mg Mon and Friday )
HCG = 350 twice per weeek ( Sunday and Thursday)
ADEX = 3 times per week (.25mg Sun.Wed.Fri. )
Natural throid = took the first week, but chickened-out because of an article I read about T3 shutting down your thyroid.
DHEA = 25mg per day
Vitamin D = 5000 units -> I bought these from costco. Based on test results the product is bogus.
L-Dopa = tried it a few times, didn't feel anything
Fish oils = stopped taking them because I thought they were worsening my condition
