About 11 months ago I was diagnosed with high cholesterol and low thyroid, so I am taking red rice yeast and .088 mg of Synthroid, then about 9 months ago I was diagnosed with low testosterone and was prescribed adrogel, which after reading the small print I decided not to use it. Six months ago I began getting depressed, re-evaluating life, ( 6 months from turning 50) and my self esteem began to drop and I have been in a downward spiral ever since.

What is the exact relation with thyroid and testosterone. I could not able to get concrete explanation over internet. Does anyone treated for elevated TSH and low T with levothyroxine?

How long does it take to reflect the changes on my testosterone level.I am recently married and lost my mind due this problem and shattered completely. TSH 9.91 T4 Free 1.

I have been feeling terrible for about 2 months. Severe anxiety, depression, etc. it's hard to get out of bed and I'm walking around in a fog. I'm totally disconnected from the world. I just want to sleep, be left alone and try to go to work to support my family. Got my blood results back from my GP and I have low testosterone (level of an 85 year old) and I'm 40, low Vitamin D and elevated Thyroid antibodies. My GP prescribed me Ambien to sleep and Lexapro.

I was tested last week and my labs came back as a testosterone level of 25. My doctor was concerned and is referring me to an endocrinologist. But he did not tell me any thing more. Could this low level of testosterone be causing my headaches? What usually causes a low testosterone level? How concerned should I be? I am only 21, and I was involved in several blasts while deployed in Afghanistan last year. They say that I received a moderate TBI from one of the blasts.

I did some reading and discovered that leg weakness could be caused by low testosterone. I had blood work done and had requested a test of testosterone. I went for a neurologist visit today for an EMG to find out why my legs get so weak. After the test he told me that he was pretty sure I have Lyme disease. He had seen on my record that I had tested positive for Lyme a year ago and was treated with doxycycline for a month and that was that.

In depression and hypomanic state there is a depressed mood, disinterest in activities and also low testosterone can occur. Depression can occur due to reduced level of testosterone in the body. So, supplementation with testosterone might help you. Side effects of testosterone therapy if done in excess can lead to neoplasm’s in the genital organs, gonads. Kindly consult an endocrinologist in this regard. Take care.

t affect testosterone, but the whole endocrine system, which includes thyroid, adrenal and reproductive hormones, etc., is all interdependent. So, changes in one can cause changes in the other. Also, the pituitary is the master endocrine gland which controls all the other endocrine glands. So, a disturbance in more than one could indicate a pituitary issue. You never did tell me the range on your TT4.

Do you guys have any explanation for the weight loss and reduction in testosterone levels? The loss in testosterone and weight is very large given the time span. What are some suggestions? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

I am a biological female taking testosterone dues to a diagnosis of body dysphoria. During some blood tests over the last year, they have found thyroid antibodies; my TSH seems to be going up and down, and I have super low Vitamin D, but my T3 and T4 remain stable. Is anyone here on cross-sex hormones, or has an idea of what this may be doing to my thyroid? I am 19 and have been more tired over the last few years. I have gained weight and reduced immunity in the last three years.

and one more problem is ...im becoming lean day by day. and losing muscle mass. even my hair became dry. but my thyroid levels were normal.

The first endocrinologist I visited recognized my hypothyroidism and hypogonadism as two different issues stemming from a thyroid and pituitary disorder.. As treating my thyroid required a lesser treatment, he prescribed me 50mcgs of Synthroid. His plan was to treat my thyroid and determine if it was sufficient in relieving my symptoms. Unfortunately, it was not. The next step was testosterone substitution. Knowing this is a more serious commitment, I searched for a second opinion.

So um.... I'm here because I had this big cyst on my thyroid, but I also have central hypogonadism. It's my impression that doctors in general for psychological reasons really really want to ignore hypogonadism. Anything but that. Also doctors are often very confused and mixed up beliefs. For instance, early pregnancy will stop a young women's growth because of hormones.

I'm with gimel --- you hit the jackpot. Most of us have to beg for those tests, and you actually got them offered to you!!! How awesome......... Do make sure those T3 and T4 are FREE's......... Yay for you.......

He came up with the same diagnosis as the first endo--low thyroid and low cortisol---but he also tested vitamins and minerals--and later he tested hormones. As I had been suspecting all along, my testosterone was low---my DHEA was low---and I had been taking supplements. Has anyone else had vitamin and mineral deficiencies tested? I am wondering if it is common for alot of things to be thrown off in your body because the pituitary and thyroid are not functioning right.

Can exercise increase testosterone or DHEA in women? I combine strength training and cardio, which has been very helpful in moderating my hyperthyroid symptoms.

if my levels are good, should my libido be as well? And should I start worrying about something else instead.. If I had learned that there was only 0,000001% chance for me to permanently loose my libido when taking this, I would of course NEVER have touched it! Is this a renown great pharmaseutical scam that everyone should know about?..

Find an Endo who is a good thyroid doctor. Get the testing done for the free testosterone and see if that is part of the problem. Also, you need to get your vitamin D deficiency taken care of. Here's a link on Vitamin D and ED. http://articlet.com/article7816.
