I have been having some issues with feeling lethargic a lot since mid-June, and I've been to a couple different doctors, who ran some tests which all came back negative (liver, kidney, lipids, glucose, mono). I finally convinced them to test for thyroid function which came back normal. The doctor kind of shrugged it off and said if you are still having symptoms when you come back, we can rerun the tests. I was very annoyed by this, so I went through privatemdlabs and had my own bloodwork done, which included testosterone.
The results were:
TSH 0.940uIU/mL (0.450-4.500)
Thyroxine 10.7ug/dL (4.5-12.0)
T3 Uptake 39% (24-39)
Free Thyroxine Index 4.2 (1.2-4.9)
Testosterone, Serum 301 ng/dL (249-836) *A note said range will change today to 348-1197, which would put me in the low value
Testosterone, Free 11.8 ng/dL (5.00-21.00)
% Free Testosterone 3.92 % (1.50-4.20)
Estradiol, Sensitive 14 pg/mL (3-70)
Insulin-Like Growth Factor I 350 ng/mL (116-358)
There is more in the results including CBC, Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, and Lipids.
I'm thinking that since I'm 25, my test should be higher than what it is, and that I need to find a good endocrinologist in my area.
