I have been having symptoms of low T. I have posted before and the recommendation was to work on my thyroid (My TSH is high and LH is low). I have been doing so, by treating with iodine and other cofactors Iodine Treatment Protocol. I feel some slight improvements, body temperatures are up, more energy, less brain fog, slightly more libido. Slight improvement in erection ability.
I am unsure where to go from here. What should I tell my endo in regards the path I want to take. Will be seeing him at 8am tomorrow.
Question 1. Should i be trying to get on thyroid meds to further improve thyroid function?
Question 2. Has anyone boosted their LH by treating their thyroid? was not able to find much information on it.
Question 3. What course of action do you recommend i take?
