Hello @jenatsky.
Thank you for reply.
I'm still not 100% convinced it's not due to low testosterone, but I'm always open to find out what's wrong.
It's not CO, as I live in an area with very low pollution, very clean air and good ventilation in my home. I work as a Personal Trainer (part time) and do a lot of outdoor training with my clients.
I have been to a psychotherapist, and from her diagnosis, there's nothing wrong expect the symptoms of depression, anxiety and irritability there's nothing else mentally wrong.
I've had full blood work tests, and all the results say I'm in perfect health, aside from a little low on vitamin D, which is normal here in the north due to little sun. Everything else is almost damn in the middle of the accepted range.
I'm very active, training 4 days a week for about 3 hours and I have a pretty healthy diet. Been into strength sports since I was 14 🙂
No illegal P.E.D's. I'm to scared, as there is history of heart issues on my mothers side, so I'm not willing to take a chance that I could provoke something there.
100% natural (Aside from surgery to fix broken bones and torn muscles)
One of the biggest reasons I suspect low testosterone is that so many of the symptoms match, and when looking at the results of the test, I'm just above the minimum level.
As someone that (also) has an automotive engineering degree, my thought is "Just because it's within spec, does not mean it's optimal".
But hell, there must be something wrong to explain what's wrong right? 🙂
Still don't know what's wrong, but I'll keep trying to find out, even though I do feel that it's affecting my mental health not knowing why my body feels like it's shutting down. And in just 2 or 3 years.
"As someone that (also) has an automotive engineering degree, my thought is "Just because it's within spec, does not mean it's optimal"."
And this is the problem with modern medicine. They only look at specs. Every person is unique and they've lost sight of that. What's "spec" for one is not necessarily for another.
Hubby is going through the same symptoms, and having his testosterone levels tested this morning. This has all happened within the past 6 months for him, except for his ED, which he's had for the past 20 years (it's been a painfully long dry spell for both of us, being 1/3 of our lives and half our marriage) and I also noticed that his testicles have drastically shrunk in size. Have you had prostate and testicular exams? PSA test (although you're a little young for it, it could be helpful.) He's not even interested in DIY these days. Nothing gets his motor running. Doc just attributed it to "getting old" (he's 61), which is the ultimate punt. So, we're just supposed to accept that? I don't think so! And neither shoujld you. I would definitely get a second opinion. Visit an endocrinologist, instead of just a family practice/general practice doctor. They can do a full hormone workup on you.
