Blood Work After Fin

Have you tested your en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldosterone? mine was low which is odd.

My best bet is to do it naturally with diet or else your body will. I personally think I have a hormone balance and bodys freaking out at the moment.

Please don’t give up hope, look at how many people have recoveries. My cortisol was really high when i took propecia then it dropped in 3/4 in two days.

I’ve been having good and bad days! but i’m sure as hell that I will find answers! i’ve been seeing different doctors till i get the answer i want! As soon as i get the result i’ll let you know vince.

Can I ask what symptoms you had and how many tablets you took?

What have you tried?

My aldosterone was on the lower end of the scale as you can see here.

Yes there are some recoveroies a small percent. It is hard just sitting round and being incapacitated in many ways waiting.

I have tried almost every hormone treatment possible.

Blood cortisol by itself does not mean much.

I took finasteride for 5 weeks.

Check out that thread.

Did your test levels keep dropping before you did TRT? and did you find HCG? any negative side effects?

All I can say is your LH is normal but your test is low … not good. You can bump up your LH a little more maybe and get that test up a little, but realize there’s guys like me who have good testosterone (866, 250-1100) but are still badly affected.

#27

What about my TSH.

23-05-12 before fin 31/07/12
S TSH 1.73(0.5 -5.0) 4.09 (0.5 - 5.0)

#28

You could take HCG and bump up both test and estrogen and you would not feel better. Your body is keeping LH at that level for reason. If you try to boost it your estradiol will go up and you will be worse off.

Lets say you doubled free test
S TESTO 11.L NMOL/L (12.0 - 31.9) to 22.
Would you double estrogens?
S OESTRADIOL 102 PMOL/L (<160) to 204

I would doubt you would be better off.

This is the same as everyone else here > they bump up test feel good for 1 week > then back to screwed up ratio.

If you inject HCG you may not notice much at all.

If you reduce estrogen you could up your free test and and reduce your estrogen. But may be hard to keep a good ratio.

Okay so fin shut down my Pituary my thyroid is full functional. At this stage I’m not doing trt but taking a hang in there approach

#30

Your thyroid (TSH) looks over functional to me. Most of the time a lower TSH is better then a higher one if you are heathy, just like having a lower LH/FSH is better as long as your testosterone and fertility are fine.

Don’t quote me on this as I haven’t been reading up on thyroid stuff in many months but a higher TSH means your body is working harder, putting out more thyroid hormone to get the same results.

Likewise a high LH and FSH may be a sign of an issue… your body is working harder in those cases to boost your testosterone and fertility.

Optimal would be say a LH level below 5 (scale of; 1.5-9.5) with a testoterone level of 800+ (scale of; 250-1100).

Androdione - 5.0 nmol/l (2.0 - 12.0)
Hgh <0.5 miu/l
Levels >10 mu/l exclude isolated growth hormone deficiency and pituitary failure.

starting to think this is a more accurate diagnosis Hypopituitarism health.nytimes.com/health/guides/disease/hypopituitarism/overview.html.

I’m feeling so disturbed right now.

#33

no body knows what it is? you can not say it is hypopituitarism yet. if it is nonfunctional Pitutary then why supplementing TRT does not work? My LH was 4 when I fist went to see my dr after stopping SP then it slowly cam down to 2+ or maybe 1+. I starting taking vitamin D and I recently saw it around 5+ or 4+ why? how vitamin D caused it to go up?
