Lab Results In, Need Help

[health4life24]

Hi,
I have been reading these forums the last few months and decided to build up the courage to post.

I Currently suffering from very low libido, low energy or fatigue like symptoms, and slow metabolism. I have also recently had bouts where my body feels somewhat achy (inflamation?) and it takes longer to recover from workouts. I'm 30 and I'm in decent shape because I eat good & work out often. I feel that I'm suffering from some kind of hormonal imbalance along with either slight adrenal or thyroid problems despite having a healthy lifestyle. I abused marijuana for many years when I was younger and have never felt the same since. I think the exessive abuse messed me up internally and and the last few years I have had next to no sex drive and feel tired all the time. I also am very carb/sugar sensitive and will gain weight fast if I stray from the very clean diet I have now.

Here are my recent blood work results with ranges and would like some opinions on what I should do next in regards to seeing a doctor or trying out meds to see if they improve my situation.

---
Thyroid TSH 3.95 uIU/ml (.350 - 5.500)
Prostate Specific Ag .5 ng/ml (0.0 - 4.0)
Testesterone, Serum 479 ng/dl (241 - 827)
Free Testesterone 17.4 pg/ml (8.7 - 25.1)
LH 1.9 mIU/ml (1.5 - 9.3)
FSH .7 mIU/ml (1.4 - 8.1)
Progesterone 1.9 ng/ml (.3 - 1.2)
DHEA-Sulfate 471 ug/dl (120 - 520)
Estradiol 30 pg/ml (0-53)
DHT 27 ng/ml (30 - 85)
Cortisol 21.5 ug/dl (3.1 - 22.4)
Prolactin 19.9 ng/ml (2.1 - 17.7)
SHBG 13 nmol/L (13 - 71)
Albumin, Serum 4.5 g/dl (3.5 - 5.5)

There are a few things that look way off here, especially DHT, Prolactin & SHBG. I recently went to the doctor and he told me that these numbers were still within 'statistical' range and that I should be happy that I'm a young healthy adult. This is the second doctor that has told me this basically and I think they are full of crap. The way that I feel now compared to how I did before abusing drugs is night & day. I know for sure that something is obviously wrong and really want to find out and get the needed help to recover because I have hid my problems for the last few years thinking that I would get better, but so far I haven't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If they are out of range they should be addressed END OF STORY !! This crap "oh your just alittle bit out of range, but your healthy as a horse" WTF do they know if you are fine just by looking at you. THAT is not answer..

TSH is possibly showing low thyroid which could be representing your low shbg which is common with underactive thyroid. DHT is given to increase libido why guys respond to tcreams when they have low DHT. Might want to look into insulin resistance as well to verify why shbg could be low, inuslin resistance and thyroid go hand and hand alot of times.
Need further blood work ft3, ft4 to answer thyroid question. Prolactin is a big problem ..Progesterone may being diverted to cortisol for some appreant reason (infection, trmatic event, over training, under eating, not enough sleep, chemical exposure, ect) again the idea is pin point exactly win this happen and when you started first feeling like crap and re examine 6 months back from then usually you find your answer...Mine was simple contest diet (minreal imbalances), under eating, over training, lack of sunlight, using an AI when not needed lowered e2, Excessive ALA w/o biotin, fatty liver lead to insulin resitance started the cascade of short circut of the HPTA axis plain and simple..

Lifestyle pattern are simpliest to address before jumping into tinkering with hormones

How are your sleep patterns?

what time you goto bed and wake up

do you work night shift or work at a night club late at night?

How much sun you get each day

Do you wake up feeling refreshed?

Do you sleep sound or toss and turn each night and have a
hard time getting to sleep

What is your eating habits like

what time do you workout and how long how often?

Do you take a good multivitamin (ZMA may help before bed time)

Are you happy with your life

Any family or stresful events in your life in past 6 months

have you had any infection in last 6 months

Yr thyriod could be whats causeing u yr troubles. It regulates yr metabolism and could most definatly be the cause of yr fatigue and lessend stamina. Also when thyriod is sluggish yr Hypothalamus will increase TRH wich makes yr pituary release more TSH (thyriod stimulating hormone) this is ofc is why yr TSH is rather high at 3.95 (most docs consider anything over 3 high today). Yr prolactin is way high, Prolactin can change up and down quite rapidly i know this from experience i have tested 5 and 18 in no more than 1 week apart. Whats more to this is that when hypothalamus sends TRH to increase TSH prolactin is also increased, this could potentially be the case with u since both yr prolactin and tsh is up, its not uncommen that hypothyriod patients have high prolactin levels aswell. Prolactin on its own can down regulate testosterone and its metabolites (dht estrogen) and cause low sexdrive etc.

High prolactin could potentially be signs of a prolacatinoma but usually they produce prolactins in the hundreds or more so this is prolly not the case but if u worry u could have that checked out.

I would test for TSH, Free T4, Free T3 and prolactin again at the same time if i were u. That would definatly give u a better picture of whats going on. TSH is just the signal to produce more thyriod hormones, u need free t4 and free t3 to know that they are actually beeing produced in the correct amount.

If it turns out u are low in free t4 and or free t3, then all u might need is thyriod meds.

good luck

Concentrate on Prolactin.
After is in range do all other.

June 1999 Le Magazine: In The News: Elevated Prolactin Linked To Breast Cancer

============================== ============================== ========
Male - Prostate Cancer Patient
- Prolactin level no higher than 2.0
There are three FDA-approved drugs that suppress prolactin secretion. If a blood test reveals prolactin levels are elevated, ask your doctor to prescribe one of the following drugs:

- Bromocriptine (2.5 mg one or more times a day)
- Pergolide (.25 mg to .50 mg twice a day)
- Dostinex (.5 mg twice a week)
Check prolactin levels again in 30 days to make sure the drug you choose is suppressing prolactin release from the pituitary gland into the blood.

Dostinex is the newest and cleanest drug to use. Dostinex has fewer side effects than the older drugs, is more effective in suppressing prolactin than the older drugs, and requires only twice a week dosing. It should be noted that Durk Pearson and Sandy Shaw recommended bromocriptine as a prolactin suppressing agent back in 1982, and the FDA spent millions of taxpayer dollars keeping Americans from accessing this drug for the purpose of disease prevention. Since 1982, about 700,000 American women have died of breast cancer.

[cpeil2]

Dostinex is the newest and cleanest drug to use.

Two studies published early this year revealed that among people with Parkinson's disease, those taking Dostinex were at least four times more likely to have diseased heart valves than those taking other meds for Parkinson's.

[cpeil2]

[QUOTE=JanSz;921551]
- Pergolide (.25 mg to .50 mg twice a day)

More info: pergolide has been voluntarily withdrawn from the market.


Also re: Dostinex - the risk of valve disease is considerably lower in those taking to lower prolactin because the typical dose is much lower.

So, basically it is good news about Dostinex, right??


- Bromocriptine (2.5 mg one or more times a day)
- Pergolide (.25 mg to .50 mg twice a day)
- Dostinex (.5 mg twice a week)
--------------------------
anything on Bromocryptine?

Yes, good news. The dose for pituitary problems is so much lower than for Parkinson's that the risk of heart problems appears negligible.


Bromocriptine - There have been isolated reports of valve disease after long-term use for Parkinson's. Again, though, it appears that the risk is dose-related.

Thanks alot guys, this by far is most answers I have gotten in the last few years. I wish I would have known about this forum sooner. I was so sick of hearing the last two doctors I was seeing that I'm healthy and that I'm probably just a little depressed. I have never suffered from depression in my life! I wish they would be more open and proactive in trying to listen to the sympoms I'm suffering from.

Anyway, I will try the Dostinex to see if that improves my condition. I'm really hoping that it will improve my condition before I have to figure something else out if it doesn't work. I'm also going to get a full thyroid panel done since I suspect I have some problems in this area also. I'm also going to get an insulin resistance test also.

I have also heard that DHT is extremely important in regards to a mans sex drive and I noticed that mine is very low. Are there anyways to get DHT to a mid - level range?

Also, would TRT be beneficial in anyway to try to get my Test to around 600 from the 479 it's at currently, or do you think my levels are ok where they are at right now?

Also, I would be open to seeing someone like Dr. John. Does my situation seem complicated enough that it would be best to put myself under his care, or should I try to self - treat first & then consider more help later? Thanks again eveyone!

I have never seen b4 and after bloodwork on anti prolactin meds but lots of ppl say that lowering prolactin initself could increase yr testosterone. If u r gonna try dostinex maybe take it slow with other supplements for now and c how u do. If u add 1 thing at the time u will know how each supplement affects u.

If still low after dostinex and u want to try TRT, gels/creams will make more of a conversion to DHT than injections.

[health4life24]

^^Thanks for the above info.

Anyone else have any reccomendations on increasing DHT and it's effect on sex drive? Besides Prolactin, does anyone think that my very low DHT levels could be affecting my lack of sex drive?

If you decide to be on testosterone, make sure you also use HCG.
When you are on testosterone the TotalT values are only a guidance, main number is FreeT. You aim is to have it (160-250), closer to the top. The balance is higly dependent on SHBG. Your SHBG=13, that is low. Eventually T supresses SHBG if in excess, you do not have much room.
SHBG levels are connected to insuline, sugar and metabolic syndrome, check that area.

SHBG levels may change, but at your current level you would need
TT~500 to have FreeT~160
TT~750 to have FreeT~250

See if only HCG (no T) may give you enough in this area.
Do not worry about DHT, not yet.
----------------
Bottom line, from my previous post, Prolactin first.
The rest may fall into right place on its own.

[health4life24]

^^Thanks for the great advice. I posted in another forum and got similiar advice from someone else. The poster reccomended 100 IU's of HCG a day to increase levels. I think I'll try dostinex first to see what kind of response I get & then start with HCG.

Does anyone know typically how long it would take to see results from taking Dostinex if it works for me? Also, is HCG a safe longterm method to increase test levels & is it a more viable option that taking a Test gel?

I'm going to get a complete Thyroid panel & Insulin resistant tests done and will post results once labs are in. I'm sure I have a problem in this area because of fatigue and not being able to eat carbs without gaining weight fast. Thanks again everyone.

Yep, low DHT can be a problem. Thankfully, T creams raise DHT more so than shots. I would throw a collegel guess and say thats because the T breaks down faster which leads to more DHT/E. Might also have something to do with the abundance of DHT receptors on skin.

Im agnostic about using scripts to lower prolactin. Prolactin is something that often corrects itself on a proper doctor monitered TRT program.

Per LEF statement:"Check prolactin levels again in 30 days"

You almost have enough Testosterone with your current very low SHBG level, increase T and your SHBG may go lower.

Clarify your situation about Thyroid.
One of the thyroid related problems is non-reliable testosterone cream penetration thru skin.
That would not stop me from trying compounded pregnenolone cream, I guess there is not much choice.

Attacking
Metabolic syndrome
thyroid
prolactin
testosterone
is probably the logical sequence of events for you.

Hi,
I have been reading these forums the last few months and decided to build up the courage to post.

I Currently suffering from very low libido, low energy or fatigue like symptoms, and slow metabolism. I have also recently had bouts where my body feels somewhat achy (inflamation?) and it takes longer to recover from workouts. I'm 30 and I'm in decent shape because I eat good & work out often. I feel that I'm suffering from some kind of hormonal imbalance along with either slight adrenal or thyroid problems despite having a healthy lifestyle. I abused marijuana for many years when I was younger and have never felt the same since. I think the exessive abuse messed me up internally and and the last few years I have had next to no sex drive and feel tired all the time. I also am very carb/sugar sensitive and will gain weight fast if I stray from the very clean diet I have now.

Here are my recent blood work results with ranges and would like some opinions on what I should do next in regards to seeing a doctor or trying out meds to see if they improve my situation.

---
Thyroid TSH 3.95 uIU/ml (.350 - 5.500)
Prostate Specific Ag .5 ng/ml (0.0 - 4.0)
Testesterone, Serum 479 ng/dl (241 - 827)
Free Testesterone 17.4 pg/ml (8.7 - 25.1)
LH 1.9 mIU/ml (1.5 - 9.3)
FSH .7 mIU/ml (1.4 - 8.1)
Progesterone 1.9 ng/ml (.3 - 1.2)
DHEA-Sulfate 471 ug/dl (120 - 520)

Prolactin 19.9 ng/ml (2.1 - 17.7)
SHBG 13 nmol/L (13 - 71)
Albumin, Serum 4.5 g/dl (3.5 - 5.5)

There are a few things that look way off here, especially DHT, Prolactin & SHBG. I recently went to the doctor and he told me that these numbers were still within 'statistical' range and that I should be happy that I'm a young healthy adult. This is the second doctor that has told me this basically and I think they are full of crap. The way that I feel now compared to how I did before abusing drugs is night & day. I know for sure that something is obviously wrong and really want to find out and get the needed help to recover because I have hid my problems for the last few years thinking that I would get better, but so far I haven't. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

From your PM, I just want to have continuity for the future referencing:

Just wanted to get information about the NutrEval test that you are talking about. In your opinion, would anything they are testing for drastically effect libido if I was defficient in any area? I'm seriously considering buying this test, but would need to save up the money to do so since I don't have insurance. Am I correct that it's double the price in US dollars?

Also, I posted a thread awhile back with my labs. If you had any extra time to take another look, that would be great! I did just about everything that you reccemomended as well as others, short of testosterone which I'm saving as a last option. Here is the thread:

Lab Results In, Need Help

I used dostinex and didn't really feel much of a difference. I did a month long of clomid & Rolaxafine to try to restart HPTA which didn't work. I actually felt worse afterwards. I'm just now starting HCG, 200 IU's daily to see if that does anything. I'm also using liquidex from AG guys, but I don't think estrogen is really effecting me. I also tried a lite dose of Armour thyroid, gave me slightly more energy, but nothing libido wise.

Can you see anything else I could do at this point? I'm wondering if Test is my main problem, which total Test is between 400-500 range. I'm wondering if I double it, maybe that would get me where I need to be. I'm saving Test therapy as a last option though. Would probably go see Dr. John at that point. Any other advice you could give would be greatly appreciated!

Best choice see dr John.

Other advice:
You are going to have to do some tests, with or without dr John, there is no other way.

Look into Thyroid and Adrenals.
You need good (Ultrasensitive) E2 test, off hand E2 is about right, was that with or without Liquidex?
Your DHT is rather low.
Looking at your LH & FSH I would say that you are secondary, you should give your testis a chance.
So going for HCG is a good way.

Use this guidelines I posted for someone in similar situation.

Bloodwork question? Androgel - MESO-Rx

FreeT3 5 (2.6-5.7)
LH 3 (3-10)
FSH 3.7 (3-10)
Oestrasdiol 111 (<230)
Prolactine 86 (55-380)
Testosteron 7.5 (14.0-35.0)
SHGB 21 (10-75)
============================== ==

Your LH and FSH are on the bottom range.
Your Estradiol appears (I think) rather low.
Looks like you have secondary hypogonadism, that is your testis may be good but nobody tells them to work.
Additionally low estrogen.

That would be ideal situation to use HCG only (no Testosterone) in an effort to make testis do their work.
That is done by using larger amounts of HCG.
============================== ==
If you convince your doctor to this method, problem is how to figure protocol, dose and frequency.
You may follow a protocol that one would use when attempting to be fertile.
You may skip the HMG part, unless you want to make sure and get her actualy pregnant.

maximum 6000iu/week

Your will have few limits, they have to be found by blood testing:

The more HCG you use,
the more Testosterone your testis will produce.
the more estradiol you will have
the more Arimidex you will have to use to control Estradiol

You do not want to get more than FreeT~300
Calculated with:
Free & Bioavailable Testosterone calculator
using TotalT, SHBG and Albumin

You do not want to use more than 2 pills/week Arimidex (divided into halfs or quarters)

So work within this limitations and see if you can be natural.
.
.
Supposedly there is some evidence that frequency 2x/week or E3D is the best.
Supposedly E2D is not as good.

You will find out what works for you by trying.

-----------------------------------------------------

When you will (hopefully arrive at better BAT and DHT levels, yore sex drive (usually) is acutely) proportional to correct E2 levels.
This can be achieved by testing and carefull observation.

Possibly/hopefully your higher Prolactin is not going to play too much in it.
============================== =============

Your energy or lack of it should be figured out by NutrEval testing.

If you do that test, make sure that you do not take any supplements, vitamins, minerals, similar for at least a month.
But do not stop HCG or Liquidex.

Just eat plain food, and drink plain water, totally nothing special.
People who go crazy with their diets, still are defficient somewhere, NutrEval will tell you what you need without going crazy.

why are we in a 10-month old thread?

and i think this fellow's condition is rather obvious....his testes obviously work rather well, if he can make that much test from virtually NO LH/FSH...his problem is at the hypothalamus; he's apparently suppressed from the very high cortisol, prolactin, and progesterone. this may be stress related, or maybe not. B6 is a start for the prolactin and progesterone...if no luck then bromo/caber...i would definitely try out some relaxation techniques too (or even pharmaceutical stress relievers, the herbal kind preferably)

wiki says that prescription drugs often cause high prolactin...what else is he taking? additionally, dopamine being a prolactin inhibitor means that depression could cause it, too.
