Re: Can someone help me with my lab results?

[Guest guest]

Dave it looks to me like you have a Pituitary Problem and you need to do an MRI

in this to rule out a tumor it's rare to be cancer. So with that your Estradiol

levels on one tube are good 18 it the units are pg/ml.

Your TSH is a flag going up when it's over 2 this tells me your brain is asking

for more Thyroid hormone but before you jump on this have your Cortisol levels

check do a 4x's in a day saliva test you can read about it in this link. Low

Cortisol levels will make you feel like crap and you can catch everything going

around Flue, Colds, Sinus Infections even Bronchitis every winter.

http://livingnetwork.co.za/hormones/adrenal-fatigue/

Also go to this site and read up on Hypopituitary Problems.

The guy that did this site is not there anymore but helped me a lot.

And get some good Pink Sea Salt and put about 1/2 tsp full in a glass of water

first thing in the morning drink it down see if you feel better on this your

sodium levels are on the lower side.

Your Testosterone came up some but not much I hope your putting it on right with

Testim you put one tube on one side then one tube on the other. Spreading it

over your upper arms and shoulders and down your back as far as you can reach

then rub it in well. If your levels don't come up switch to shots do them your

self starting with 100 mgs / week.

Thanks Phil.

I didn't know that about TSH. I guess I'd have to find a pretty sharp thyroid

Dr. to follow up on that. Probably should start at " go " and find someone to

analyze my pituitary. Is there a list of recommended dr.s to do this?

Testosterone is doing better since I went to 2 tubes. I don't have any data, but

could feel the effects in morning erections, performance, etc.

Your all ready on TRT so there is not much that can be done diff. You do know

your Testis work and if you add HCG to your TRT your going to feel much better

and your testis are going to make a lot of your T. DO Dr.'s like Dr. are

good for this problem Endo's and Uro's are not.

My being Hypopituitary has me treating my low Testosterone, Thyroid, Cortisol,

Aldosterone, Renine, Ferritin, Iron, Estradiol, Growth Hormone and now Heart so

you need a good dam good Dr.
