[QUOTE="madman, post: 110810, member: 13851"] Your total testosterone tests were done at the wrong time. Due to the natural circadian rhythm a young healthy males endogenous testosterone peaks in the early am and than slowly declines later in the afternoon/early evening. You need to have blood work done in the early am (7-10am) fasted when testing for testosterone as testosterone levels taken in the afternoon can be 25-30% lower than levels in the early am. Some symptoms could be due to low t but at the same time you may have a dysfunctional thyroid as many of the symptoms you list the signs of a dysfunctional thyroid gland. Your total t is on the lower end and your free t is low due to your high shbg but again you tested at the wrong times and need to have labs redone fasted in the morning between 7-10 am. I would think even when you get retested in the early am your total t may very well come back in a descent range but your free t will still more than likely be low due to your HIGH shbg as levels should not fluctuate much regarding shbg.
