Hey you guys are truly great help. thanks for all the input. Robocop very useful info. I actually got my thyroid checked today and he was slightly hesitant because it seems I have a lot of tissue in that area which is giving him a hard time to see if anything is wrong with my thyroid. Well, I am going on monday to get blood work done early morning for lh fsh sex binding hormones and estrogen levels again for a more accurate early morning test. After he might give me an MRI to see the function of my pituitary. I hope all goes well. Thanks again guys and I will keep you posted as I get results.
Tissue?? what the hell ? In front of the thyroid you have only skin and the infrahyoid muscles - which you must cut through when you operate. He was giving you a manual inspection to see if he can detect any nodules (tumors) on the thyroid (he won't call them tumors cause it scares people
)
have your tsh, ft3 and ft4 levels checked - post results
Did you get a ultrasound done for your thyroid?
If you have some hyperplastic nodules -- can you say "hypothyroidism" (no way you are hyper).
Best case :everything is outta-wack you are "lucky" (in a perverted way) - cause it means it's reversible.
Next best case : your thyroid is jacked - it reverses (sometimes) and most easily treatable long term (plus, worst case for thyroid is cancer - this no longer meets "best case" stds - but it doesn't spread and "no one" dies from it nowadays)
Next best case: FSH and LH levels are low and estrogen is high... hopefully they respond to treatment (kinda like first case).
Next best case: it stops being so good from here -- you've jacked your balls -- good luck -- testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) all your life
Next best case: you've jacked your pancreas - diabetes - possible pancreatic cancer - high cortisol - catabolic -
Next best case: (had to think if this is worse or better than pancreas) - pituitary tumor. Normally non-cancerous - sometimes IS cancerous. Functioning pituitary tumors cause overproduction of hormones - doesn't sound like you. If it's small and non-cancerous - they can remove through the nose. If worse - good luck.
Any eyesight problems ??? Balance problems?? family history?? that's sometimes an indication of pit probs - you didn't mention anything.
Anyway, from what you've mentioned, I vote for the first three possibilities and the best ones. Doubt pit-tumor, doubt you've fkd your pancreas so fast (young), and have a "feeling" your testes aren't damaged beyond repair.
But, numbers for thyroid, cortisol, DHEA (why not fasting insulin and sugar too?) and sex hormones before beginning. Check cortisol and rest of adrenal hormones.
ehhh, it's not a lost cause - there's a saying, if you're not dead it's reversible. Remember the hypo-pit-thyroid-pancreas-adrenals-gonads (or ovaries) are all linked together ... often times one jacked one leads to another going screwy (isn't that a nice way of putting it ?)
Your doc is giving you an MRI for pituitary? wow -- he's obviously suspecting a pit-tumor - but to get an MRI so fast without the other tests - does he know about your steroid use ?- I would almost guess he doesn't cause if he did he might go another route first (or maybe the damn insurance has some nr. of mri's per month he should give) ???
Any of those signs of balance/vision?? pit is right behind the eyes...
