[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 37557, member: 2624"] I agree - you're total testosterone level is hardly "fine." In range, yes, but that isn't saying much. Take a look at this link, LabCorp's reference ranges for testosterone by age group. [url]https://www.excelmale.com/forum/showthread.php?1395-What-is-a-Normal-Blood-Level-of-Testosterone[/url] You will note that your posted value is far below the top third of the range, and for a man not yet 35 that is cause for concern. One missing set of labs, a full thyroid study, might answer a number of questions. Hair loss can frequently be explained by thyroid abnormalities - it did in my father's case - and is a reccomended first-line set of tests when a patient presents with sudden loss of hair (head or body). It is possible that thyroid problems could be digging the entire hole you find yourself standing in. So, all is not lost, nor is it at all certain that you aren't going to be on a TRT protocol. You just have some more work to do. [/QUOTE]
