Sounds good I knew a guy that had a low graid infection in his prostate and it

lowed his testosterone levels.

So far, my labs show perfectly normal LH, but FSH is elevated.

Prolactin is perfectly normal. MRI of the pituitary is normal.

FYI

Testosterone is a hormone subsidary to Prolactin. Low Prolactin, low

Testosterone.

But this is interesting. Doesn't sound like hypogonadism, not in the classic

sense. Keep the group in the loop on your diagnosis. I'm interested in what the

doc will find out, ok?

i went to an endo once, a woman, who measured various body parts.

When she got to my waist, she went " wow " (hey, it wasn't that big, but

whatever...LOL). I was disappointed that when she got to my nuts she

didn't say " wow " at that point. LOL. Actually my nuts are pretty

big, they've always been, and I am lucky to be on HCG which keeps them

from shrinking on TRT.

Also Prolactin can antagonize T.

Why is prolactin high in some men??? And is there a

permanent cure for it to settle in any way?????????

Mine is 215 in the UK unit within the range (86-324)

IU/ml . But i want to work to get it down to 100, so

it helps my T rise. (this is one mini solution to many

of my problems).

SO with a range of 86-324 a perfect middle range is 205, and you're

within 5% of that. Why would you seek to go the bottom 10% of range?

one more thing on Dostinex, since I have a pituitary tumor, the endo said these

are generally agressive and I will be on Dostinex for " many years " with annual

MRI's to see if the tumor is shrinking

I can only say that Prolactin is a major hormone and that Testosterone is

subsidary to Prolactin. If something is affecting your Prolactin don't be

surprised that it effects your Testosterone too.

Phil, what dose etc would you recommend for Arimidex,

for me to try.

And lets say I stop using it after 2-3 weeks. How long

will it take for my NORMAL HORMONE LEVELS to get back

to where they were BEFORE using ARIMIDEX.

thnx.

Take the 1mg. pill and cut it into 4 parts then take one part .25mgs every 3

days see if this gives you night time and morning wood if it does then your

Estradiol is at the right level. If later you wood stops this means your going

down to low so stop the arimidex until the wood comes back that day go back on

it but do less .25mgs every 5 days.

Note if your on this for more then 4 weeks and no wood stop taking it.

do a wikipedia on arimidex. I think arimidex is the US name and it may (or may

not) be called something else in the UK.

Does DHEA play a role? My cortisol levels are very

low, and I hear if cortisol is low then so is DHEA.

Why is DHEA low? Any particular gland?

Here are some links about Adrenal Fatigue when your cortisol levels start acting

up your DHEA takes a hit trying to help keep Cortisol levels up. After a time

when Adrenals are real bad DHEA levels quit trying to help and come back up.

http://www.lammd.com/A3R_brief_in_doc_format/adrenal_fatigue.cfm

In this link go from stage to stage and read the charts and you can see this

happen.

http://www.chronicfatigue.org/ASI%201%20.html

This is also good to read.

http://www.tuberose.com/Adrenal_Glands.html

As for testosterone you need to talk to your Dr. the treatments here in the US

are not the same in the UK.
