| there is a relationship between free testosterone levels and thyroid
function do a search for thyroid dysfunction and testosterone. read the
articles. The information is very enlightening. Basically, in diagnostic
testing there is e relationship between levels of free testosterone and
thyroid hormone levels in hat the relationship is used as a n indicator for
pituitary tumors or hypo or hyper thyroidism. if thyroid levels are normal
and testosterone tests low it is a primary indicator of hypogonadism,
testicular failure.

While the above sounds logical, I would urge caution regarding what
you read on the internet about thyroid function. A couple years ago I
started internet research on bradycardia (slow pulse) that led me to
suspect hypothyroidism. I was already taking a low dose of a
prescribed thyroid 'upper'. I ordered a product called 'Thiodine' and
proceeded to poison myself with it. When I finally got to see an
endocrinologist he told me IN NO UNCERTAIN TERMS to get off the stuff.
I was not the first person to be bamboozled by internet 'information'
about thyroid function, he said, he sees it a lot. It takes nearly 3
months for your body to naturally flush this stuff out of your system
and get your thyroid back to normal.
Incidentally, the original problem that started me down that road was
a mild case of vertigo, which has mostly passed off with time, thank
goodness. They tested my heart, commented on my bradycardia, but
offerred not solution. So I went ahunting on the internet by myself.
