Dr. Lupo:
Over the last ten years, my TSH has remained (invariably) very suppressed.
Also over the last ten years, my T4 has always been normal (with one test showing it flagged as low)
but most all showing it in the borderline low, but normal range.
Moreover, over the same time frame (10 years) my T3 is invariably within the normal range
(but always 'high normal) yet never flagged as high.
Recent Complete Blood work showed a suppressed Total and Free Testosterone level (it was flagged)
as well as a --profoundly-- low DHEA-Sulfate Plasma level 78 (195-600)
I am male in my early 30's and in the process of getting an opinion of this.
In 2005 I had an Iodine Up-Take scan, which demonstrated a LOW uptake (5.3%)
but without hot or cold nodules.
Also a brain MRI R/O pituitary problems, and other hormones such as LH/FSH are normal
Symptoms: Fatigue, extreme intolerance to ---cold--, which is very odd..... I am cold ALL THE TIME,
and my temperature always runs around 97.2, on-and-off paresthesia and dyskinesia in lower front legs spinal issue??) and complete sudden total loss of libido.
Right now I am experiencing what I would describe as a "pinched nerve" sensation on the top
of my foot, close to the ankle, that tingles.
My only chronic (opposing) health issue (ie 2 docs stating two different opinions)
1. Subclinical Hyperthyroidism 2. lymphocytic thyroiditis
Lower Leg dyskinesia Issue: No specific dx ever given.
I am really needing feedback, as these symptoms are very anxiety provoking for me.
I sincerely thank you for both your time, and any information you could provide.
