Hi! I have some somptoms of low T. The biggest problem is a none excisting libido. The results are measured in unspecified amounts, but there are reference ranges.
The test was taken 9AM.
Lab results:
Free T: 17 (8-35)
TSH: 0.95 (0.2-4.0)
Free T4: 15.4 (11.0-23.0)
Prolactin: 211 (<700)
Estradiol: 0.12 (<0.18)
Can you comment on the results? The free T seems to be low for my age (23) since the reference range is for all ages. I feel awful, and feel that my life is worthless. I just excist, but don't have any pleasure doing anything anymore. I work out 3 times a week, have a very good diet, and make sure I get plenty of sleep.
I have an appointment in approx 2 weeks, and I will discuss this further with my GP. But I fear that I will be dismissed because I am in the "normal" range. Is there some study on average free test levels for my age group that i can refer to?
If I dont get threatment I think I will try to fix the problem myself with steroids. This scares me a bit, because I dont want to abuse steroids. I just want to be at a functional level.
