21 Years Old and Low Test??

[jackler]

Overview of where I think the problem may have occured. Skip down the paragraph to see the results if you dont want the sob story.

Ive been through some shit, im not gonna lie. My lifes always been full of stress, and 2 years ago was the mac daddy of FML. In May, my GF of 7 years ran up to ST Louis to fuck some guy from Ohio she met online. I lost two family members 3 months apart, my oldest brother to heroin in July(on our couch. My grandma discovered him, and we all followed the screams), and two weeks later we discovered my Grandmother had lung cancer that spread everywhere, and in October, we lost her. My second brother was so torn up about everything, he tried to shoot himself in the head, and while he was trying to get the nerve up to do it, while it was sitting on the bed, it misfired and shot through the wall and into the neighbors house.

So needless to say, traumatic doesnt even begin to scratch the surface.

Ive read that stress and traumatic events can trigger low test, and ive been suffering from about 8/10 of the associated problems. So I decided to go get tested.

My doc refused to test my Estriadol, because he said insurance wouldnt pay to test a man for estrogen levels, especially in a 21 year old male.

I get the call that, of course, my levels are all normal, and I have to wait a week to get a copy of the results because the doc isnt in town. So I politely ask her to read me some of the results, and copy them down.

Here they are as follows:

Test Panel:
Total Test: 374
Free Test 2.57 ft serpl (dunno what that means?)
Fserpl/ncnc 96.1 (Again, no idea what this line means at all)

Thyroid Panel: (They didnt test my T3 levels?)
glucose 79
t4 8.5
TSH 1.59

According to my research, for my age, the Test Panel looks horrendous, but the doc assures me theyre normal.

I dont know about the thyroid panel, couldnt find much correlating info.

So what do you guys think? What should my next steps be regarding this? Ive been suffering from some symptoms my whole life, especially lack in lidibo(especially during sex. Its like im all game until we start, then i lose complete interest.), and maintaining an erection(again, in the middle of sex). I used to think it was nerves, but its been happening since I was 14, and happened the entire 6 years I was with the girl.

Look for a good endocrinologist and get tested again. Those levels are too low.

You're only 21. I doubt the doc will care much about your sexual symptoms when you were 14. You have next to no shot getting HRT. Just go with the prohormone stuff like Need2's product. Sounds like you have some fat to lose anyway and I doubt your training is where it needs to be.

I would not mess with any of the prohormone or designer oral steroids. These will only shut you down more.

Go see an endo. That's your best bet atm.

I figured as much, as far as having no luck getting HRT. As far as finding a good endo, what kind of questions should I ask to find one? Just dont have much of a clue as to where to begin looking.

Teaching hospitals usually have the best staff. Look for one in your locale associated with a university. Mine is U of Michigan Hospital.

Simply tell them the truth.

Lion said it, tell them the truth.

Ive got an apt with an endo on April 1st. It looks like the closest University w/ a hospital is St louis, so Ill give them a shot if all else fails.

Also, the endos secretary asked me to bring the lab results from the other doctors, or fax them. Im thinking I should bring them in, so I can talk to the doc while hes looking at them, explain my symptoms instead of him lookin at the references. They didnt even do the blood test right, didnt test estriadol, cortisol, ect. But the endos sec. said my insurance company wouldnt want them taking another blood test.

Take HCGenerate 2 caps 5 times a day (10 caps total) along with Sustain Alpha 5 days on 2 days off. I believe this will help.

Reasearch homocysteine, take your b vitamins. Sublingual b12.. b2, b6, b1, and folate ect. Get some d3, eat your greens, i could go on all day with this. Do go see your doc and be honnest. Reduce your stress levels, breathing excersises, meditation. Keep an open mind these things really do work.
