Hi guys,

first post here, so let me introduce myself a bit.

I'm 28, 5'7, around 120 lbs, the classic ectomorph type, which I obviously hate.

After losing ~40 lbs, eating a low-carb diet, eliminating all stress from my life (I don't work), having money in the bank and 24 free hours a day, I still feel like sh!t.

I am unable to gain muscle (it goes away in 2 days), my last morning erection was 10 or 12 years ago (can't remember), have exactly zero sex drive and a total lack of motivation or "care" about anything in life, including friends, family, money, travel, hobbies, woman, you name it.

I do exercise 3x a week, but looking at the labs, I just don't feel it worths it.

I was always in the background, the typical passive type and generally passed through schools / jobs / life without any emotion or zest.

I don't live, I exist.

One dentist said once quite casually, that based on the X-ray, my teeth are not so dense as they should be. They are robbing me blind, without offering real solutions apart from fillings and root canals.

I've been to my GP 2 weeks ago, telling him all these symptoms and that I think I have some hormonal problems, namely low T + asking for a couple of tests.

He agreed to CBC, Thyroid Panel, LH, FSH, Total T, SHBG, Renal Panel, Glucose, Prolactin.

He also examined my testes, and said - quote - "not the biggest balls in the world".

Now that I think about it, it seems to me my balls are shrinking.

I checked seminal volume, well, it's less than half what it used to be.

No varicocele.


The interesting part of the test results are:


SHBG - 28 nmol/L (15-55)

Plasma glucose 4.6 mmol/L (3.0-7.8)

TSH 2.01 mU/L (.3-4.2)

free T4 15.0 pmol/L (9-23)

Serum T 17.6 nmol/L (10.1-30-0) [ ~ 507 ng/dl ? ]

Serum prolactin 140 mU/L (75-375) [ ~ 6.6 ng/ml ? ]

Serum LH 1.8 IU/L (2.0-12.0) LOW

Plasma FSH 1.3 IU/L (1.7-8.0) LOW



Questions:

Is this SHBG good?

This T level (500) is not a typically "low" value, although it could be for me. What do you think?

LH, FSH - well, this seems rather obvious. I'd say I'm secondary and I'd try to squeeze a more comprehensive bloodwork, MRI, bone density test and a Clomid prescription out from the Doc, take it for 2 weeks, see what happens.

How is it possible that with so low LH FSH values the T is quite normal?


I think I might have adrenal fatigue as well, I was diagnosed with IBS 2 years ago, but still experience gas and cramps in the intestines even without eating any starches.

I lose the first 3-5 hours of the day because just unable to wake-up, I feel like a zombie and I can't do anthing except sitting in front of the computer and look out of my head.

Today, after 8 hours of sleep, a whole mug of coffee and 5 hours of spacing out I went back to sleep for another 2 hours.

TBH, I don't think this is normal.


Appreciate the responses.
