That's a nice jump in TT in short time. Did you make any lifestyle or diet changes during this short time that possibly could have affected the outcome? I can commiserate about the doctors. Seems nuts that the primary would would send you for labs when they should know the Endo would want...

I don't think I've ever had it tested before January. I've had the symptoms for years though and they seem to be getting slowly worse. Oh, when tested in January my T was 240 with a minimum range of 250. Primary referred me to an Endo who tested me 6 weeks later. T came back 253 with a low...

I appreciate the replies. I've only been on the Escitalopram since January. I was prescribed it by my primary to help with my low T symptoms. The thyroid results are below Thyroid Panel With TSH 1 of 3TSH 2.450 0.450-4.500 uIU/mL 01 Thyroxine (T4) 6.8 4.5-12.0 ug/dL 01 T3 Uptake 27 24-39 %...

Main question - can I turn this around with lifestyle changes (exercise and losing weight) without going on TRT as my Endo's suggest? Very long story made short - I've seen primary and two different Endo's since January. Both Endo's say I do not need TRT. They say I need to lose weight and...

I live in Glendale, Arizona. Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks

I appreciate the replies. I'm 51 weigh 250 at 5' 11'' with a big gut. I have APNEA and use a CPAP but was sleep deprived for decades. Otherwise in decent health just have felt like shit since as long as I can remember.

First post on the forum. I really appreciate all the great info. Here goes... Had Physical with GP early Feb. Total T comes back at 247. Was referred to Endo. Endo examined me and told me to wait three weeks to test again. If total T came back low, he would recommend treatment. Had blood...
