[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 102674, member: 15832"] Can you please include lab ranges, you're missing a lot of labs and high estrogen can easily explain the water weight gain. LH looks high and usually indicates testicles are damaged but not in your case, however the high SHBG is forcing your endocrine system into overdrive in an attempt to compete with your insanely high SHBG levels that are surely shrinking your free T, then your pituitary gland increases LH to get more testosterone to increase what little free T you have available. Your endocrine system is responding strongly, but unfortunately it's not enough at this point do to what I suspect is the Depakote causing all your endocrine system dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction is found among people who take Depakote or anyone who takes an anticonvulsants. I also suspect the medication you're taking is very likely increasing your SHBG levels which lower the available free hormones to your body, most anticonvulsants raise SHBG and lower free hormones. You've traded one health problem for another which often what happens when medications like anticonvulsant are introduced to the body. I was on Klonopin for 30 years and experienced high SHBG as a result, never had any get up and go on this medication because it lowered my free hormones, always felt fatigued and could never really enjoy physical activities. Don't let a doctor tell you your thyroid is fine because it's in the normal ranges, this is a mistake that most doctors make an understand thyroid very little. Most progressive doctors (non-insurance based) begin treating thyroid when TSH gets above 2.5 instead of waiting for you to reach disease status when things can get no worse. You most definitely have hypothyroid symptoms given your TSH, so you have multiple issues going on all at the same time. Attempting to address your endocrine system disruption while on Depakote will be impossible as it's likely the cause.
