I am a 43 year-old male who has been diagnosed with low testosterone (193) and high TSH (13.3). I also have Osteoporosis and Brown-Sequard Syndrome, secondary to a ruptured cervical disc. What do these hormone levels mean, and what can I do about it? |

I will direct you to the site I am using for the same thing. Something I have learned is the hormone levels and my arthritis were a symptom of another problem. Fixing the levels is a task to be sure if that is what you choose. www.lef.org is a group of outstanding Drs who provide much material. You can search by the name of your illness and view protocals. Do some research on the people behind it and you will be impressed. *Above all else find a Dr. who can guide/help you* This is not a do-it-yourself project. Referral Service said to be one of the best www.acam.org The American College for Advancement in Medicine (ACAM) is a not-for-profit medical society dedicated to educating physicians and other health care professionals on the latest findings and emerging procedures in preventive/nutritional medicine. ACAM's goals are to improve skills, knowledge and diagnostic procedures as they relate to complementary and alternative medicine; to support research; and to develop awareness of alternative methods of medical treatment. Celebrating more than a quarter century of service, ACAM represents more than 1,000 physicians in 30 countries. ACAM is the largest and oldest organization of its kind in the world dedicated exclusively to serving the educational needs of the health professions. Go to PUBLIC then LOCATE A DR. Good Luck |

You need testosterone replacement. This can be achieved with either daily patches or biweekly or monthly injections. You should have repeat level checked and adjust replacement dose as needed. Mildly elevated TSH could be a normal variant in the absence of any clinical hypothyroid features such as weight gain, dry skin, brittle hair, lethargy, constipation, bradycardia, etc. This is what you would call a subclinical hypothyroidism. If you do have any of the symptoms, however, you should get started on low dose replacement as well. You should know what your free T4 level is, since TSH only tells you half the story. It is unusual for a man to develop osteoporosis at young age, unless you have reasons such as long term steroid use or other endocrine disorders such as yours. If correcting other disorders does not correct osteoporosis, you should take Fosamax 70mg once a week, along with Vit D + calcium supplements. |
