TSH, T3, T4 results, please help figuring this out.

Hi guys. I've been trying to find the cause of my extreme fatigue (on weekends sleeping 20 hours a day, barely making it through work, difficulty waking up once asleep, general weakness but to an extreme like I have a constant Flu) I had my total Testo tested and it came in at 310. Im a 6'0 210 31 yr old in decent shape. Anyway i have been on a regimen Of 200ng Test cyp every 5 days with 500hcg the two days before test shot. After 6 weeks on this protocal my energy levels and strength have not changed any so I went and got my thyroid checked to see if it would point out any problems and didnt get the results i was expecting.


Test Result Ref Range
TSH 1.300 0.450-4.500
T4 1.25 0.82-1.77

triiodothyronine Free Serum
3.8 2.0-4.4


Everything came back normal it seems. Im at a loss. I've tried adrenal supps, cortisol supps, test cyp, hcg, diet, excercise, lifestyles changes and still feel like im dying. Any advice where to look now or if there is anything suspicious??

thanks in advance,

Scott

Those thyroid numbers look pretty good to me actually. If I had those numbers along with a good total t4 then I wouldn't treat that/myself with drugs.

BUT... t3/cytomel treatment is known to improve depression treatments. That' something you would need to address with a doctor. Most, unforunately, would not know unless you went to a quality of life/symptom oriented physician.

Whats your testosterone look like? You're probably taking way too much. I don't know of any doctors who prescribe almost 300mg of tesosterone per week plus HCG. You very well might be an estrogen factory at this point...

Shoot for a testosterone of mid 600's. More is not always better!!!

With that much testosterone, I would start to worry about your blood thickening too.

There's a lot more I could say, but its more important for you to speak at this point for us to really help you.

thanks for the response Kel, I do not know what ym test is sitting at currently. Waiting on the money to get a test done. I don't think my e2 is high because I was taking .5 mg anastrazole after each test shot and started having ed issues, dropped down to .5 mg every other shot or every 10 days and ed went away. e2 was just under 40 or a little above average before shots started. I had no ramp up to where I felt worse, or better when I started taking shots, nothing indicating i went through or passed a sweet spot a lower blood level concentration of test. Should i try lowering the dose to 150ng every 5 days and try that?

I also have a morning/night cortisol saliva test that I just sent off and am awaiting results on. Really starting to worry about not being able to find out whats plaguing me. this crap started years ago and is progressively getting worse. Would appreciate any more feedback!
