[QUOTE="Reason, post: 104280, member: 17508"] I know you keep banging on the hypothyroidism drum but I didn’t experience many of the classic hypothyroidism symptoms pre-TRT. Hypogonadism fit better and was confirmed through blood tests. Pre-treatment my T and FT levels were the only anomalies on my labs. My E2 is almost double where it should be. Fits better for the current symptoms. And another option is: TSH is a pituitary-produced hormone and that combined with optimum FT3 levels plus my hypognadism likely being secondary could indicate a pituitary issue. TRT messes with the HPTA axis. Or the pituitary is fine and has to pump out more TSH for a now broken thyroid (because of TRT???) to produce normal levels of hormones? Seems strange. To check into this I’m going to have to go through my regular doctor and the Kaiser bureaucracy because I don’t have the means to pay out of pocket for 2 hormonal treatments with all the associated tests. Hopefully they’ll work with me without trying to mess with my TRT. My doctor was VERY against me going into TRT citing all the myths to back up her concerns... [/QUOTE]
