Hey everyone,
Just looking for some guidance and support or information anyone might have to offer with my current blood test results and me being hypothyroid.
Just some background, this all started about 4-5 months ago when I was progressively getting to a good size being 6'2 at 190lbs after 3 years of busting my A$$ to only pretty much lose it all within a couple of months and drop to 170 lbs. At that height it is pretty slim and I've always hated being the "skinny guy". This had all put me in a pretty serious depression, couldn't sleep, no motivation, sexual dysfunction, the list goes on. With that happening I proceeded to visit my general doctor and obviously received a "your going to be okay, give it time" answer. I pretty much forced her to test my testosterone as I knew something wasn't right.
2012/12/10 - Blood Work
Glucose Serum Random - 3.4 mmol/L (3.6-7.0 Normal, 7.1-11.0 Risk of Diabetes)
RBC Indices - MCG - 33 (27-32pg)
Free Testosterone - 52.0 pmol/L
After this and still receiving the same answer from my doctor, I asked to be referred to an Endocrinologist specialist who ordered more blood work.
2013/04/08 - Blood Work
TSH - 15.38 mIU/L (0.35 - 5.00 Normal Range)
LH - 4 IU/L (2 - 9 Normal Range)
DHEAS - 6.3 umol/L (1.91 - 13.4 Normal Range)
FSH - 3 IU/L (2 - 12 Normal Range)
Testosterone (23.6 nmol/L (7.6 - 31.4 Normal Range)
Estradiol - 79 pmol/L (<157 Range)
Free Testosterone - 58.2 pmol/L
Androstenedione - 8.4 nmol/L
2013/04/22 - Follow up thyroid blood work
TSH - 20.31 mIU/L (0.35 - 5.00 Range)
T4 Free - 12 pmol/L (12 - 22 Range)
Free T3 - 4.1 pmol/L (2.6 - 5.7 Range)
Thyroid Peroxidase AB - >1000 kIU/L (<35 Range)
I still feel like I have low testosterone or something is still wrong. I've been taking my medication for the past 2 weeks (0.025mg) of LEVO-THYROXINE and still do not feel any major changes. I am required to go for more blood tests in 4 weeks to see where my levels sit at and if their needs to be an adjustment in my medication. Bodybuilding lifestyle being something I love, this has set me back majorly as I can hardly make it to the gym now and my eating habits have gone down the drain and can't even build muscle and still feel like i'm losing gains i've made. Everything is going wrong and I'm in a major hole. Not sure what to even do.
Sorry for the lengthy post, thought I might as well get it all out so nobody misses any information right off the bat.
Thanks guys really appreciate any help
