describe body and facial hair: Hair on legs, around nipples, arms, and head, I can grow facial hair but it is not a thick beard.
describe where you carry fat and how changed: I have always carried some fat on lower stomach and love handles. This fat is not easy for me to get rid of.
health conditions, symptoms [history]: About a year ago I started feeling really low energy and overall de-motivation to get things done at work, no motivation to workout and low sex drive. I went a saw a doctor, and the doc ran some blood tests and told me lab results are within ranges and it is probably that I need to workout more. A year later after continuing to feel these same symptoms I stumbled upon this forum I started running some more blood tests and I am waiting results of an MRI that I recently took.

After reading the thyroid forum I took my temp this morning at 96.7 and I am going out to buy an iodine replacement supplement. I am also getting a vitamin d supplement. Does anyone has any suggestions on other lab tests I can get done, and why my ferratin levels are so high?
