We do not normally see this occur, your pituitary gland is a fucking champion. Your estrogen was low and is more than likely why you felt bad, low estrogen and high testosterone is worse than low testosterone and healthy estrogen.
Ritalin can cause hyperthyroidism, believe me been there done that. It was great for my ADHD, very bad for my Tourette’s Syndrome. I was 125 pounds on ritalin and looked like a damn anorexic, lost 33 pounds in 30 days.
How medications affect thyroid function
Estrone a weak estrogen, and a minor female sex hormone. Do not concern yourself with this hormone.
It happened again, estrogen is low. Adjust AI dosing to allow estrogen to increase. Most men not on TRT who are healthy have estrogen between US ranges 20-35 pg/mL or 73-128 pmol/L. As you can see estrogen was on the lower end. I would need estrogen closer to 30 pg/mL or 110 pmol/L to feel good.
Your doctor has got you chasing your tail, fire the dude or gal immediately! This doctor has stolen 3 years of your life you cannot get back. The problem with most doctors is in range is normal to them, so they are unable to think critically and are mostly robotic and should have thought maybe this poor guy needs estrogen on the higher end to feel good.
I mean the range exists because men are naturally on both ends of the ranges, you were more than likely optimal on the other end.
