New Test Results

New test results...
24mg TC daily
430iu HCG E3D
.125 Arimidex E3D
3 grains of NDT (thyroid) daily split up over day
My lipids look like shit. HDL has gone down a little and Trigs have skyrocketed. Also my liver tests are now out of range for the first time. Not completely surprised, my diet has been shit the last few months. Also looks like I am taking way too much thyroid. Looks like I need to make some changes!

I'm having a very hard time seeing your labs, I guess you need enlarge the results.

What really stands out is your high triglycerides. I wonder how a low-carb diet would help your cholesterol numbers.

Agree with vince. Also you iron panel seems to be a bit off. Have you been donating blood?

Vince - I recently moved off of low-carb. Hated every second of it. Certainly made my labs nicer though. I think I have been havibg too much sugar also.

Healthman - I have never donated. What could this mean? I eat a lot of red meat.

Your serum iron and transferritin saturation are a bit high

Your ALT/AST are slightly elevated should look into that.

Lipids and triglycerides need to be improved upon. How recently did you stop eating low carb as your HbA1c is just under range.

Your TSH is low need to look into decreasing your NDT dose.

Otherwise overall labs look good,

I really kind of stopped my paleo / low carb dieting in early December. Numbers looked good, I looked good, but I was just so tired and felt like shit constantly. My ALT/AST have always been in low 20's so this is definitely concerning.

Yes, planning on decreasing NDT dose from 3 to 2.5 grains.

Do I have iron overload? Ferritin is fine but iron just seems dangerously high.

Your iron is not dangerously high but better investigate. Are you taking iron supplements? Did you have an iron rich meal before blood work? Were you fasting? Usually you would see high ferritin of you had iron overload.
