[QUOTE="1Draw, post: 103480, member: 12868"] Yep you definitely have a Thyroid problem. You also need to check your Reverse T3 which many doctor's do not test for. Here is some excellent information on each Thyroid test and what levels are optimal: [URL]https://www.restartmed.com/normal-thyroid-levels/[/URL] And yes low testosterone and hypothyroidism are very similar in symptoms. Here is good explanation: [URL]https://www.restartmed.com/thyroid-symptoms-men/[/URL] I hope Defy changes its pre testosterone treatment blood test to include a full thyroid panel as well before beginning any program to rule out low thyroid levels. I've been on T therapy for 3 years and just found out my Reverse T3 was very high which was causing all my symptoms. I've probably had a high RT3 all these years and it was never diagnosed. I'm now on a T3 med Cytomel 5mcg 3xday and feeling somewhat better. I had to request the full thyroid panel since like you say they normally look at just TSH or T3 and T4 levels not the RT3 and antibodies. [/QUOTE]
