Dr Crisler, Dr Shippen and Dr Marinaco have all had experience with it though no set treatment has been set for everyone as in, its still a bit hit and miss by the sounds of it. No doctor in the world i believe can say they know what it does to you.

I would say that joejoe has probably always been a lower T guy, add in the fin and throw a nice vegan diet on top of it and BLAM, no more T

what happned to this thread.

[AlexanderDenmark]

Yeah what happened. I have similar symptoms to the guy who started this thread. I would like to know whether the problem was Adrenal, thyroid, high E2 or high progesterone. And in which order did he get the problem. What was the main cause?

[AlexanderDenmark]

I fear, I will end up like a Ken doll before I receive a treatment that works.

Does anyone know from bloodtest experience if 48 E2 is high enough to completely kill libido and give severe ED? Maybe its different person to person, but im just wondering. Also what are the known physical conditions that cause high E2. I don't care how obscure the reference. I want to eliminate all possibilities.

Value Range
Dihydrotestosterone 53 25- 75 ng/dL
DHT free 4.81 1.00 - 6.20 pg/mL
DHT free % .83 % .62 - 1.10%

Estradiol, Free, LC/MS/MS still pending. Its frustrating for tests to take so long.

you can call quest on your own and get your results? can any one do that? I have the same issue with feeling nothing during orgasm, when I first started lexapro is changed for a few days but went right back to normal.

All the readings are pretty well within the normal range and not likely responsible for the symptoms you describe. I dont think your problem is in your adrenal, gonadal or hepatic biochemistry. Consider your social relationships and your private thoughts and feeling about yourself and others. How do you feel about those?

Penile Atrophy, Zero Libido/sensitivity, Help

Again, here are my main symptoms.
* Zero Libido/Sex Drive
* Bad Erectile Dysfunction even when using max doses of Cialis or Levitra
* Loss of Morning / Spontaneous / Nocturnal Erections
* Penile Tissue Changes (narrowing, shrinkage, curving, numbness, wrinkled)
* Penis Feels "disconnected" from head or body

****Complete loss of pleasure during Orgasm, this is new during last month. I know oxytocin is created by the pituitary, so I'm wondering is something is damaged there? I literally have no sensation during sex/masturbation, a slight sensation at approach of orgasm, and then nothing when there used to be a massive euphoric rush and tingly sensation thoughout my body. This is worrying me the most now.

I know its a lot to look at, but I really appreciate anyone's help. I'll post the DHT and free estradiol tomorrow when I get it, but until then, please let me know what you think the most likely cause of these symptoms are. Urologists up to this point offer nothing but cialis, which barely works. Within the last month, the ejaculatory anhedonia is really scary! Is the low FSH with the high estradiol ultrasensitive enough to warrant an MRI for a brain tumor? How can I bring the Estradiol down naturally? Is my LH really "normal", and what causes FSH to be low? My old testosterone and thyroid results were done in June, so if you reference them, thats the date. Thanks again.

I have alot of the same issues, I will discuss it tom in detail.
