Please directly edit your post above and add lab ranges to the data. Lab ranges are not universal and vary from one laboratory to another.
Please evaluate the width of peripheral vision. Should be around 180 degrees. Stare straight ahead and move index finger or hands off to the side and note where you detect. A pituitary tumor can press on optic nerves and reduce peripheral vision. If there is a prolactin secreting pituitary tumor, it can be easily managed with 0.5mg Dostinex/cabergoline per week which is a light burden.
Now that you have these results you need followup labs to better understand the problem.
Please get LH AND FSH both tested.
You need some treatment for sure, these are the lowest T levels I have seen reported.
Also post other labs with ranges as available: - get labs for these if need
TSH
fT3 - the only active thyroid hormone
fT4 - please not T3, T4 or indexes etc
CBC
hematocrit
fasting glucose
A1C
fasting cholesterol
DHEA-S - not DHEA
IGF-1 for hGH status [GH should not be tested at this point]
AM cortisol - at 8AM or 1hour after waking up
What is the time-line of these problems?
Any blows to the head leading up to that?
What has happened to your testes?
Do they hang normally or pulled up tight? If up tight, LH/FSH are probably very low.
Loss of hair on lower legs is from long term low T.
Thyroid can also be part of this and it a common problem with guys who come here with low-T.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab number and ranges.
The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
