I had a physical with some blood work done 4 weeks ago. Taken with 3 or 4 hours after waking. I only got the results 2 weeks ago. I’ll try to get a copy of the results here in the following business week to post other numbers I wasn’t told. He told me my Thyroid was off with a number of 3.5. I haven’t been able to find a whole lot of info on the subject(partly because I’ve been studying my T) but I believe this is high? All he said about it was that it would be hard to lose fat. Kind of sucks but I can manage.
He then went on to tell me my T was low with a 4.2, he said these levels weren’t too low, but in 10 years I would be on medication for it. Now I’m pretty sure what he meant to say was 420, because I know that any doc would know that 123 free test is seriously low. He wants me to come in for more blood work in 6 months time. The problem I’m having is that I’ve been experiencing the effects of low T for awhile without really knowing what it was.
Looking back I was 5’11" in 8th grade captain of the football team, shot put and discus champ. Then at the end of my freshman year in 2009 I had a series of serious neck sprains keeping me out for the season (every time I was cleared I’d re-sprain it) I then started falling behind in the weight-room. I’m not sure if that could possibly damage a pituitary gland or not. I recently had a CT scan up there for a sinus infection and they didn’t notice anything odd.
Anyways these are my symptoms:
No sex drive, I hardly even think about it.
One erection a day, always morning wood. This is messed up, I used to have like 20 a day.
Always tired. (around 11 hours sleep at night)
Mild depression, I think because I’m always so damn tired.
I have problems actually getting to sleep at least 5 or 6 nights a week.
Low stamina, especially prevalent during leg exercises.

age: 18
height: 6’

I hold fat on my love handles, and lower abs. I’ve weighed 215 at one point in my life funny enough sophomore year right after my neck injury. That weight was mainly on my waist.
No health conditions or allergies. Have had one mild concussion, and maybe another(I never got it checked out)
I get about 3000-3200 cals a day. Fish oil supps and one a day mens. Whey after lifting and before bed. lean proteins, complex carbs and healthy fats. It’s my vision of what a perfect diet is.
