Total t is less then 400 at 25
My DHEA and progesterone , and pregnenelone are also very bottom of the range. Why would my adrenals be so low? If I went on trt I would have to supp those as well and just go full hormone replacement. I eat well , get plenty of sunlight.
Tsh is 1.6 and t3, t4, reverse t3 all about middle of range.
What is the relationship w adrenals and Test? Could the low adrenals if addressed fix the testosterone. Could there be an underlying issue, that going on testosterone wouldn’t really fix at all? I’ve gotten brain and pituitary mris and an ultrasound of the abdomen. And it’s all good.
I had mercury toxicity in my teens from 13 poorly done fillings that are known to be huge endocrine disruptors. Not sure if any connection but worth noting. I’ve always had little joy with things, low drive , cold easily, so tired when I wake up. But Lately the irritability has been bad. Living inside my own head. For seemingly no reason. I’m depressed but I believe depression is the symptom not the cause. At this point Both are feeding off each other in a vicious cycle.
