I am considering treating my low testosterone symptoms on my own with Clomid...

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone,

I made a thread here over a year ago where I posted my test results. According

to Norwegian reference ranges I am normal, but my testosterone levels converge

to the bottom of the reference range. At age 26 and with my symptoms, that is

not acceptable, but Norwegian doctors says I`m fine.

I suffer from fatigue, lack of energy, unrefreshed sleep (need lots of sleep),

low libido, low potency, etc.

Since I had fairly elevated ferritin levels I was fairly sure I had iron

overload, but after following up this and talking to several experts, I have

ruled out this one for now. It would fit perfect with the symptoms though, but

it could have been random that it was elevated. An American expert still

believes that I might have it, but I`ll leave it for now. Basically, I have

fairly elevated and rising ferritin which gives reason to suspect

hemachromatosis, but other test results does not confirm the condition.

That brings me back to treating my low testosterone symptoms directly.

After some reading and talking to a few people, I have learned that 25 mg of

Clomid per day can help the body to produce more testosterone by elevating LH

and FSH levels (which both were bottom range with me). I even read some

anecdotes that suggested that this treatment could give permanent results.

Since no Norwegian doctor (I have considered flying to the US, but can`t afford

it right now) will probably be able to help me, I am now considering to test out

this SERM treatment on my own.

What are your guys opinion on this?

Is there any risk associated with this?

Thanks in advance,

ny
