I am 26 years old and recently found out that I have low testosterone and low T3 total. About a year ago I started a very low calorie and fat diet, only taking in about 1600 calories and under 20 grams of fat a day. I went from 180 lbs to 145 lbs in six months. I was lifting weights and doing cardio 5 to 6 times a week as well as playing hockey 1 to 2 times per week. I have been battling fatigue for 7 years ever since I began taking Paxil for a panic disorder. I ballooned up to 240 lbs after being on Paxil for 6 months and after a 1 1/2- 2 years I got off of it. I went back down to 175 lbs and stayed there until I started my extreme dieting. Two to three months into my extreme dieting I began to experience cold intolerance, low libido, bouts with fatigue, and depression which was also worsened by job related stress.I also started checking my morning body temp.On average it was 95.5 sometimes going as low as 93.9.i started eating around 2500 cals around 60-70g of fat a day and my temp is up to 96.5-96.9 give or take. I finally got my doc to look more into my thyroid and test level and here is my latest blood results
tsh .78------------>0.40-4.50miu/l
t4 free1.1--------->0.8-1.8ng/dl
t3,total 66-------->97-219 ng/dl
thyroid peroxidase ab <10-------->35 iu/ml
thyroglobulin ab<20--------->20iu ml
testosterone183------>241-827 ng/dl
after these came back he sent me to an endo doc and he is sending me for a pituitary mri and a whole **** load of more blood work but the first thing out of his mouth was putting me on androgel before making any descisions i will post the rest of my blood work here when i get it back but that wont be for a couple weeks just wanted to see if you guys had any thoughts on what this could be is is some more blood work from that day.
