[QUOTE="Gman86, post: 129212, member: 15043"] Ya Vince is right, I would try a couple things first, and then if nothing changes, would probably bite the bullet and start TRT. Firstly, you should probably start supplementing with DHEA. Your level is at the bottom of the barrel. I would also look into starting thyroid medication. Your TSH is high, and your free T3 doesn’t look too low to most, but in my opinion, it’s too low, and I would assume you would feel a lot better if you got your free T3 level up closer to the top of the range. But like Vince said, I would obviously try a few months first of cleaning up your diet, decreasing stress, making sure you get enough quality sleep, and are weight training at least 3-4 times per week before I would start TRT, and probably even before you start supplementing with any thyroid medication. After a few months, if your levels of testosterone and thyroid are still low, I personally would find a good doctor and get on TRT and start taking thyroid medication as well As far as the DHEA goes, I would probably start supplementing with that now. It’s very very low, I doubt diet and lifestyle changes are going to get your levels where they need them to be. And supplementing with DHEA might have a positive effect on your testosterone levels. So it’s worth a shot to try supplementing with it first before you dive into anything else. [/QUOTE]
