what is causing my t4 and testosterone to be low but tsh to be normal??
i am a 19 year old male and I have had these symptoms for 3/4 years that have slowly gotten worse and have been tested for nearly everything but nothing has come back positive.
i have asked my doctor if my free t4 was low but as always will not agree that it is as it is in their "normal range". i shall be going back to the doctors this week and will request to be tried on some thyroid pills to see if it improved my symptoms? i also read that this could be a pituraity tumor, is this correct?
my symptoms are
Fatigue
Muscle pain
sore lower back
stiff neck
sinus problems/ phlem in throat/ blocked nose
dry throat and mouth
red nose/ rosacea
cold hands and feet
Low testosterone at 13nmol
mood swings
excess urination
excessive thirst
prickly/itchy/burning legs and feet when stood still for a few minutes.
clay coloured stool / diarrhea
TSH 1.6
Free t3 5.3
free t4 10.9 -----------?
i also had my cortisol tested which was 472 nmol

My son is 24 years old and has been dealing with similar symptoms like you. I know that your post is over a year old, and I am hoping that you have found concrete answers and are doing great. If you are still searching, I would recommend looking at parathyroid com. The four rice-size parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels and are located behind the thyroid gland. Basically, when one or more of the glands enlarge and become a benign tumor, the calcium and parathyroid hormone levels rise and Vitamin D lowers. Typically, women of menopausal age are more likely to get HyperPARAthyroidism, but it can affect men and children as well, reeking havoc on the body with similar symptoms as you. See a doctor or endocrinologist, or endo/surgeon who is very familiar with HyperParathyroidism as there are many doctors who do not understand this disease. It is diagnosed with a blood test for Vitamin D, Calcium, and Parathyroid (PTH). Hope this helps.
