I am 20 years old, over the past year and a half I have noticed a significant change in my overall well being, mainly in how much energy I have on a day to day basis. Symptoms that have come about in the last year are:
-Frequent urination
-Extreme Fatigue - No matter how much sleep I get, if I sit in one spot for more than 2 minutes I’m out for the count.
-Weakness - gym sessions are dull on the good days, atrocious overall.
-Buildup of small amounts of fat around my lower stomach, hips, and underneath my arms.
-Always feel cold AND my feet and hands are physically cold.
-I have a strange feeling as though I am becoming intellectually lazy, as though I can’t “Think hard” on anything anymore. **This one scares me
A little history about me: I have never had any serious health issues my entire life, however here are a few related facts about me that have always been there:
-Very little muscular structure, however very thin (The infamous “skinny-fat”)
-Very little to no body hair
-Very fine hair on head
-Small wrists/forearms
-Little to no leg strength
-Small case of gyno (mostly puffy nipples, no moobs and no lactating)
Anyway, I have been to a few different GP’s in the last 6 months, each one saying that I am totally OK however I know that I am not just imagining these things and have seriously begun to consider TRT after seeing my last few lab results. Although I do not have all of the copies at my disposal I can provide a brief break down.
-First lab test (6 months ago) : Slightly elevated cholesterol, Testosterone 380
-Third Lab Test (1 and a half months ago) : Slightly elevated cholesterol (LDL = 121) , MCH 26.5/MCHC 30.8 (Said they were low, not sure if relevant) Testosterone 381
-Fourth Lab (few weeks ago) only hormones: Testosterone=461, Free Test=14.8, T4 free (direct)=1.29 , FSH=2.3 , Estradiol Sensitive=3 (3-70), Prolactin=10.3, TSH=1.380, T3=3.4 , Total Estrogen=60
Obviously I didn’t know enough about what to test for so I understand the last lab is missing key hormones but you get the general idea.
After another horrible doctor appointment today, I really am at a stand still on what to do and am wondering if this is just how I am going to be or if I should continue to seek help for a hormone deficiency. I thank you in advance for any replies, and I apologize for the long post.
