Trouble getting the right help from the Army

[chickendad]

I had a civilian doctor who started treating my condition, now I'm back in the Army and they don't seem to care or have a clue as how to treat me.  I'm 46 yrs old and I have done two tours of Iraq, if that is any help to finding my problem.  I don't know if anyone has noticed or seen a rise of this problem of soldiers in the Middle East.  Started seeing my civilian doctor because my blood test revealed that my testosterone was too low.  My current test show that my testosterone level is 305, I take 7.5g of Androgel daily.  My TSH level is 2.71, normal but sometimes it comes back on the low end.  FT4 level is 0.61, it's always on the low end.  Though I take the Androgel, I'm still always tired.  This is tough because I'm a soldier.  The Army feels that since my testosterone stays around normal with the Androgel.  That all must be ok.  Need help or directions to some help.  Thanks

Same thing happened to me in AirForce. They didn't want to give me  TRT to bring my test level up ever when i was told they were low. Had fatigue, mood swing and got into trouble because my mood was up and down. Almost got discharged until I stop listening to them, retired and treated myself. Don't wait on doctors, do your research and treat yourself. You know you better than a doctor!

Did you see an Endorcrinologist yet?  He will check your pituitary gland and other hormones that affect T levels too.  Very important stuff to have checked out.
