31 years old. 204 lbs, 5'11"
Late to puberty, thin facial and body hair, dry skin/scalp, hands/feet cold upon waking, body feels hot as day goes on, hair receding
2 years ago I see an endocrinologist who after my initial blood work says I have secondary hypogonadism. Prescribes clomid. T levels respond, but symptoms haven't changed. Sexual dysfunction starts. First delayed orgasm/sensation, then erectile and libido issues.
Quit clomid. No improvement 3 months.
Resort to urologist at NYU Langone. New blood work shows lowest T yet (192, 300-800). Refuses to test E2. No sex for almost 4 months with fiancé.
Coinciding with my diagnosis 2 years ago is when I began an extremely low carb diet. Dropped body weight from 242-204. Eliminated dairy (diarrhea issues before diagnosis from age 18, never singled out to lactose).
Generally I do not feel well. Lack of sex, depression, blurry vision, constipation, hair loss, anxiety, major joint pain (right shoulder surgery, sprained ankle lasting 5 months) Otherwise life is great lol. Getting married in 7 months and so far my fiancé has been very supportive.
Looking for whatever help I can get.
Current diet is eggs, salads, lean protein, nuts, green veggies, orange triad multi. Occasional whey protein shake
Very little sunlight from 9-5 desk job.
Can provide some labs if helpful
Thank you
