thyroid

I am new to this group. Thanks for having me. I want to share my journey with hormone replacement because I believe it might be useful to others. My story: I am a medical student in my last year. I replace all of my hormones. In early twenties my life was starting to go down the gutter. My...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3246784/ "Patients with thyroid disorders are more prone to develop depressive symptoms and conversely depression may be accompanied by various subtle thyroid abnormalities. Traditionally, the most commonly documented abnormalities are elevated T4...

I'm wondering if my brain fog has to do with thyroid hormones. It seems to get a lot worse on days I don't take anastrozole. Testosterone promotes conversion of T4 to T3, and estradiol does the opposite. Inflammation also suppresses this conversion. So my thyroid levels over time have been...

And what made you take the leap? Classic low TSH/T4 or T3? I see some of you are having reverse T3 measured which I believe isn't standard practice.

This happened years ago and again in the last couple of weeks, so may be helpful for some. Various times in my life I have had depression and even after getting hormones tuned up there has been some nagging mild depression that creeps up. My T4 and T3 levels look good, but my TSH has sometimes...

Whats up guys, Anyone have an iodine blood test to see if iodine supplementation would be beneficial for your thyroid or just pissing away money on something not necessarily needed? Looks like there is a blood and urine test, the urine being more expensive then the blood serum test. I have...

Trying to get dialed in... My Thyroglobulin levels were on the high side, but doc seemed unconcerned. When I take too much testosterone, I have allergy like symptoms. So, I can't help but wonder if it's connected. Thoughts or ideas ??? Thyroxine (T4) Free, Direct, S T4, Free(Direct) 1.15...

Hi, anyone started TRT and did not receive the mental/sexual benefits until finding out there may be a thyroid problem? I started TRT a few months ago and while I felt a little better, I am not feeling my best. I still lack libido, have fatigue and want to sleep a lot. I'm starting to think I...

I feel OK but my latest bloodwork shows my TSH high. Could this be a lab mistake or is my thyroid really out of whack?

Has anyone else experienced premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) or other ectopic beats once GH is commenced? I've been prone to PVCs over the last couple years in varying frequencies. I take more than enough magnesium as a mainstay and many other supps to support cardio health. I am also...

Hi all, I posted a short while ago about wanting off trt due to suffering facial flushing/redness every evening. Tried higher/lower dose of testosterone. Tried raising and lowering e2. Came off examestine, now I have been off hcg for a week. Nothing had had an affect on it, hct is 4 7 so...

Henry H. Lindner1 Current professional guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of hypothyroidism abandon clinical medicine for a laboratory exercise: TSH and free T4 normalization. This approach is both illogical and ineffective. The TSH level is not a measure of thyroid hormone sufficiency...

The short story is that meet Total test is about 600 on 100mg IM every 5 days. I still have alot of anxiety, mood issues, tremors, fatigue, Ed, sleep issues, blood pressure high, etc. I am even having some hoarseness in my throat near my thyroid. I'm trying to look at other hormones that could...

VA didn't have a Dr for me at local clinic, result I got a bunch of test done! I was really struggling with a T dose of 200mg split daily and in anticipation of new bloods I lowered dose to 150mg a week for one week and then to 140mg a week, a game I have to play so VA wont cut my dose. However...

I’ve been on trt going on 11 years and for the last couple years I’ve been struggling with fatigue especially in the afternoon. I noticed by early morning temp has fallen to the low 97 range and used to be up near 99. I recently did another complete thyroid panel and my levels are still within...

Hi All, Got bloods back today. Test numbers look great but libido has left the station a few weeks ago. Looks like TSH is high. Doc started me on 50mcg Synthroid generic. Do you think the TSH could be the culprit?

Good morning everbody, Im 27 y. old, 80kg, 12% bf. I´m hypothyroid and and have hypogonadism. I´m on a HCG-Monotherapy. I think that my thyroid gland is not yet functioning properly and therefore my testosterone synthesis is also limited. When my metabolism is better again, the HCG therapy will...

I wanted to get some feedback on my recent thyroid labs. Over the years my tsh has risen and free t4 as well as free t3 have fallen. My body temp has dropped a degree or so as well. Also I’ve had more trouble losing weight lately. The numbers aren’t terrible but there’s several articles online...

From my many posts on this forum many people probably know by now that I am a Low SHBG guy (8-18 labcrop range) which manifested after starting TRT 10 yrs ago... I have never gotten dialed in despite numerous changes in Test dosage, injections, etc... It's been a struggle to lose weight despite...

I was on one grain of NP Thyroid, and started to cut back by 1/4s, till I was using just half grain and feeling fine, so I thought after all I may not need any Thyroid, and decided to stop all 10 days ago, see how it goes. How log should I wait for my endogenous Thyroid to come back 100% and run...

So i have thyroid combination treatment for hypothyroid with TRT 125mcg T4 + 40mcg T3 day. What is the best and proper way to take supplements that they dont interferce each others absortion and my thyroid medication. I know magnesium, calcium iron etc have to take about 6h away from thyroid...

Hello everyone, is anyone currently being treated by Dr. Childs or has been treated by him. If so, could you share your story. If any of y'all know of another great open minded doctor who can help me with my thyroid please comment. I would prefer a doctor in Houston, TX but i'll take any...

Hello everyone. Following my failed attempt at restarting my natural testosterone production, I'm back on HRT in the form of 500iu HCG 3x p/w. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current issues: Always cold, especially extremities Absent Libido...

I can’t seem to find a benefit to using Armour or other similar NDT over a compounded t3/t4 combo of an ideal ratio. Seems like Armour will always be inconsistent because it is made from pig thyroid I believe, measured in grains and not mg’s. Why risk a potentially bad batch of Armour instead of...

Hello everyone, I was wondering if I could get some feedback on my thyroid, bun(1st time my bun has been this high, it usually sits at 21), ast, and alt results. Feel free to ask about any other doubts you may have. A quick summary of what I have been doing. I did a 26 week cut and I know when...

So I've retested some tests at a different lab and there are many things that are out of range. I don't know where to start, or how to go about with treatment, or what is causing what, or if there is a direct connection between any of them and one of them is throwing the others off. I don't...

I am attaching Latest Thyroid labs for comment if you will. I'm feeling some better but still tired and slow. TSH is up from 1.5 I was taking a 50% Icariin product from Vijay for erectile quality but have since quit. I read a single study where Icariin can affect thyroid nin ssome people-who...
