Guest guest Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I just joined this group after being on the hypogonadism group for about 4 months. I am a 48 year old male. I started feeling exhausted all the time and gained 40 pounds about 2 years ago. After over a year and a half struggle with my PCP, he finally did a blood test that showed low T. I went to an endo, who re-ran a lot of the test and it showed low T and hypothyroidism. An MRI with contrast showed a pituitary microadenoma and a thyroid scan showed a 8mm nodule. I am on testosterone shots every week and she started my on synthroid and I am up to 75mcg a day. I was still feeling AWFUL after all that so she added 5mcg of cytomel. After about a week, I start to feel GREAT! I am back at the gym and exercising. After 4 weeks I did labs and they came back with the following: T3, Total 204 97-219ng/dL NORMAL T4, Free 1.2 0.8-1.8 ng/dL NORMAL TSH, 3rd Gen 0.12 0.40-4.50 mIU/L LOW I got a letter from my doctor saying my TSH is too low and to cut the 5mcg of cytomel in half. I am doing this, but I am finally starting to feel like my old self and am concerned about reducing it. What do you all think of these readings?
