[old mechanic]

here is the info
47 years old

Testosterone free 94.3
35.0 - 155.0 pg/mL

TESTOSTERONE, ULTRASENSITIVE, LC MS/MS 417
250 - 1100 ng/dL

Also a question i have been on synthroyd for 10+ years my tsh levels are high (means too low)
TSH 5.78

assuming that i am able to go on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) how will that affect my tsh#s??

Send Chip an email at chip@maximushrt.com and he will help sort you out. Or just go to his website at maximushrt.com. Good luck.

Your T levels don't look bad. Why do you want to go on TRT?

very low to no sex drive.

very low to no sex drive.

If that is your only symptom, I would check out the other causes of low/no libido.

If you decide to try HRT, Chip is the only guy to call. Go to his website, fill out the forms, send in your labs/physical, and Chip will get you straightened out quickly.

Your test levels aren't that bad compared to many of us. I'm sure Chip can have you at optimal levels in no time. You may also want to check out thyroid levels to see if you are hypothyroid or just subclinical.

My understanding is that i am hypothroid
hasamotos syndrome. i am on .200 synthroid. they just upped my dose to .212 and added kelp. Even on meds my tsh swings from .070-5.00+ its like being on a roller coaster.

TSH is just an indicator of the stimulating hormone. How are your actual thyroid hormone levels?

A thyroid panel normally includes TSH, T3, FT3, T4, FT4, and rT3.
