Very helpful link, thanks! I definitely have a few of these symptoms, although most I do not. With a normal TSH perhaps it is just coincidental? I will for sure push for the thyroid panel with my visit to the endo on August 24. - Intolerance to heat: most definitely - Sweating more than usual...

5'11, 185lbs. About 11% bodyfat. I am rather muscular and pretty lean, although I do still have fat on me.

I am starting to think this might be possible as well. I sleep shirtless so in the summer my white bed sheets are literally stained a light yellow from all the sweat in my sleep after like 3-4 few days. Even more incriminating is that although my mom does not have thyroid issues (as to our...

Indeed, I ordered some DIM and am waiting for it to arrive. I will try this as it is all natural and over the counter.... I don't really want to start taking what are prescription drugs without one and also with no supervision. :S I attempted to lower prolactin again using natural methods...

All systems are go in regards to getting and maintaining erections, be it to masturbate or have intercourse. I do not get hard as easily when I was younger. My erections are also weaker than a few years ago. They also will not stay up as long without stimulation. I also have lower libido. At age...

After doing some research, the sensitive assay is not available anywhere in Canada. Surprising to be sure, but multiple reputable sources have said this (e.g. B.C. Biomedical labs). So I guess my tests were indeed the regular test and will also have to be what I go on. :S

Hmm. Well that is a good thing then if my e2 is actually at 21-26.... but it leaves me even more perplexed as to why I am not getting morning wood now! :S Any ideas? Again, I just can't see myself sleeping through it every night. Not for 3 years straight. Without even having it when I wake up...

DIM is all natural and available over the counter. I hear this can lower e2 a bit. I don't need anything overly strong I don't think e.g. Arimidex so I am thinking of taking DIM and if it solves the problem I guess I have my answer. Thoughts on this?

I thought of this but I feel like I must be getting REM sleep. I always get at least 7 hours so my sleeping habits are sound. I always wake up refreshed and rested - I never have felt the need to drink coffee to give me an extra "push" in the mornings. Moreover, even when I wake up directly from...

Here are my latest lab results (my appointment with the endo to discuss them is on August 24) along with my previous ones. As was the case before, my testosterone appears decent. I have a gut feeling it is just my e2 being slightly elevated that is causing my lack of morning wood as I have...

That is amazing! My test is in normal range but I think it is absolutely outstanding such a great site exists willing to offer that service! :) Low testosterone is an issue the medical profession as a whole seems hopelessly ignorant about. I had to push extremely hard just to even get basic...

I am curious to know more about how/where you are finding these doctors if they are asking money out of you. I am in Canada as well. Our health care is free. I have never even heard of anyone having to pay money just to see the doctor. Paying for medication, procedures, etc is another matter...

JB, Really sorry to hear this. Although my case isn't as bad as your's seems to be - more or less I am only lacking morning wood..... worrying to be sure, but in and of itself not even close to a big deal in my life... I just want to make sure it doesn't lead to something that might one day...

3 months is the next time I can see the endo as he is booked up for lots of summer and then goes on vacation. I have the requisition and can get the blood work done, however, at any time I wish. I plan on going next week. Although I will not be able to discuss the results with the endo until...

This all good to know. Many thanks. I guess I will be most curious about my LH at the next test - although I eagerly await all results. If it comes back low again it will for sure send up another red flag. If it is closer to 6 this time around I might conclude the 2 reading was just catching it...
