Can low testosterone be contributing to my headaches? Empty Can low testosterone be contributing to my headaches?

Based on some responses from my first post on 2/10- I went to an Infectious Disease Specialist and this morning received the results from my blood work. From various types of fevers, fungal, and bacterial infections that were tested- everything came back normal. My medical bills now total about $17k over 15 months and consist primarily of tests all indicating that I'm a 35 year old in perfect health. Yet I have daily migraines, chronic fatigue, and chronic sinusitis. Like everybody else that participates on this forum, the meds and chronic pain have taken a toll.

There was one test that came back abnormal today (the first ever), and that is my testosterone is low, specifically 232. The doctor didn't make a big deal of it, but curious as to whether this could be a contributing factor to my symptoms.

I'm grateful I found the wisdom of this forum two months ago, the advice I've received is greatly appreciated.

I'll be curious to see the responses as well. I am a male, same age as you. I have been considered getting a similar battery of tests, and have had a hunch that low T might be causing me some issues. I never correlated it with migraines though.

Can low testosterone be contributing to my headaches? Empty Low T

I have not had that test. I will get it done soon. I had daily M for five years. Then I took clonidine .1 mg three times a day. The daily M stopped that week. I still have twice weekly episodes.

How can that one tiny pill change things that fast.? I cannot understand that. I hope everyone is only one small change from some relief. I would persue that low T for sure.
