Guest guest Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 The testosterone may came back up once the thyroid levels come back up.... first the tumor has to be checked out... and then the Levoxyl time to kick in.. that's up to six weeks..... The tumor, if it's causing problems with the function of the pituitary could be the problem with the low thyroid... Sorry to say the first step is just gonna have to be to see what can be done about the tumor and then deal with the thyroid levels if they still need help..... The nausea and bloating... is he able to go to the bathroom okay, bowel movements? Low thyroid can mess up the rhythm of the digestive tract and how it's able to move food through the stomach and intestines... it could be that things are backing up and fermenting... that should get better once the thyroid levels are better...... Is he able to pass gas? (not funny this time folks...this can REALLY hurt) Topper () On Thu, 12 Jan 2006 15:07:34 -0000 "roseyposeyme" writes: Hi everyone....My dad has been diagnosed with a 1.5 cm pituitary tumor and also hypothyroid...we have an appointment with the surgeon tomorrow to see if we are going to remove the tumor......his bloodwork came back with very very low testosterone but high FSH.....he just started Levoxyl 50 mcg last week .......but isn't that just for an underactive thyroid...is there something he should be getting for testosterone.......?.......his symptoms are muscle weakness..fatigue...severe depression....loss of appetite......weight loss....vision loss....sleep problems.........nausea and bloating in stomach........I would appreciate any insight anyone can give me about all of this.......thanks!Rosey Quote
