    Excess cortisol or Low testosterone?

    Man am I glad I found this forum, it seems like you guys know a lot.

    OK I've been doing a lot of research on many forums for weeks. I am now 21, but when I was 18 I took a lot of things IRRESPONSIBLY because I thought I knew what I was doing.

    I have taken m1t, dbol, some other steroid, nolva, clomid, and letro for PCT. And I smoked marijuana while I was doing this which gave me gyno.

    I am now stuck with a moon face and a beer belly. I gain weight VERY easily and I only gain it on my face or stomach. People are always constantly telling me that my cheeks are way too fat for a skinny person like me because my legs and arms are skinny. My parents are both REALLy skinny and my dad eats like crap and still won't gain a single pound. That's how I used to be before I started taking roids, I used to eat McDonalds 3 times a day and not gain a single pound.

    I tried using the EC stack and clen but the effects are minimal even with my good diet and exercise.

    My sex life, well I dont last as long as I used to and its not as enjoyable as I remember it either. The flow of my urine is also very weak. It dribbles towards the end and I cant hold it in as long as I used to.

    I'm pretty scared so I went to go see 2 doctors but I feel like they think I'm a hypo. The first one didnt even perform the tests I asked him to. He said there was no point in running a cortisol test because he would be able to tell by just looking at me. He said my prostate is impossible to be messed up at such a young age.
    The 2nd doctor stuck his finger up my butt but said my prostate was fine. I dont know if he ran all the tests I asked him to because he was pretty much saying all this was in my head and that my metabolism is supposed to slow down as I get older, but I know that doesn't happen in my family, not for my sister, parents, grandparents, aunts or uncles!

    If I took cytadren would it help? Do I have to keep taking it in order to keep my cortisol levels low or does it bring it back to balance after 1 cycle?

    I read somehwere low testosterone leads to increased cortisol levels. So I'm guessing I might have low testosterone or excess cortisol left in my system.

    I don't have much money because I am a college student, but I took a thyroid panel and cortisol test from directlabs. I have attached an image of my test from directlabs. the triiodothyronine section worries because its pretty much on the edge of being out of range.

    I also took this test at around 2pm so my cortisol IS out of range according to the ADULT PM 3.1-16.7 right?

    I think I'm going to keep trying new doctors until one actually takes me seriously. Any tips on what to look for in a doctor? age? type of doctor? etc.

    Thank you guys kindly in advance.

    Your results are fine. Just the cortisol is a little high but nothing to worry about.
    If you want to reduce your cortisol levels forget the cytadren and take some Vitamin C @ 3 or 4g a day.
    Get tested for your test levels: Total test and free test, you can check your LH levels as well.

    Like hugovsilva said its nothing to worry about.

    I would check

    test total and free

    estradiol

    prolactin

    FSH

    LH

    If you dont have the cash you should be able to get your doc to order them if you complain of low test.

    If not just doing your test total/free would be a good place to start
