I have question about the effects of Spiro. Does it actually lower your blood count or just counteract the effects? I've been on spiro for a while now but after my latest batch of blood work my doctor said my T levels are still within the average male range. It puzzles me simply because I'm slowly losing body hair but am not seeing the significant fat redistribution most people encounter. Any thoughts?

Fat redistribution is reportedly one of the last effects you may (or even may not at all) notice. Since Spiro blocks T from being absorbed, it logically doesn't seem all that bad to see your blood levels still in normal range.
