Here's my recent labs, I've put some questions where I have NO CLUE

what the stuff means? If anyone can help tell me what these mean or

refer to, I would greatly appreciate it. THe doc said Im looking at

at least three organs burnt out. Trying to find answers. Thanks.

My Lipid Panal

Triglycerides 281 H <150mg = WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Cholesterol, Total 160 125-200mg

HDL Cholesterol 49 >OR 40 mg

LDL Cholesterol 55 <130mg (calc)

Chol/HDLC Ratio 3.3 <OR 5.0(calc)

GGT 15 3-40= WHATS THIS REFER TO??

A tricky one:

My Lipid Panel

Triglycerides 281 H <150mg = WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

That is the saturated fat found in your blood and yours is way too high.

http://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=4778

a.. Having a high triglyceride level along with a high LDL cholesterol

may increase your chances of having heart disease more than having only a

high LDL cholesterol level. Some medical experts recommend routine

cholesterol and triglyceride testing to screen for problems that affect the

way cholesterol is produced, used, carried in the blood, or disposed of by

the body. Others may choose to routinely measure only total cholesterol and

HDL levels.

b..

Thyroid Peroxidase 495 H <35 IU/ml= WHICH ANTODIES ARE

THESE?

Antibodies are attacking your thyroid aka Hashis:

Free T3 269 230-420 = ISN " T THIS LOW?? Yes, this is low

Various Hormones

Insulin 31 H <17= WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Your pancreas is having major problems which means you have blood sugar

issues.

Progesterone 0.7 mid cycle ref range 4.4-28.0

You are EXTREMELY low in progesterone.

Comp Metabolic Panal Stuff

Bun/ Creatine 26 H 6-22= WHATS THIS MEAN OR REFER TO?

Has to do with your kidney function: " Blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and

creatinine tests can be used together to find the BUN-to-creatinine ratio

(BUN:creatinine). " A BUN-to-creatinine ratio can help your doctor check for

problems, such as dehydration, that may cause abnormal BUN and creatinine

levels.

http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/creatinine-and-creatinine-clearance

Liboprotein < 10 <75nmol= WHATS THIS MEAN?

*says it was verified by repeat analysis

I think you mean " lipo " protein. Refers to fats in blood. Yours is very

low. Not sure if that is a problem only know that high is a problem. I think

this is related to your hepatitis since it is low in people with virus

frequently.

YES and long term chronic hepatitis B destroys the liver.

No saliva yet.

Im past the cycle time to do it. I'd be at day 25 instead of 18-21.

Im going to ask the doc if he recommends doing it then. After all,

around my period is when I feel my worse, we might see just how bad

off I really am.

Otherwise, I'll have to wait to spit until next month and save the

money.

Not sure why it lowered I would have t have your old T3/T4 labs t even guess,

And what thyroid you are taking and were taking if any. Your ratio is still bad.

STILL too muhc RT3 the ratio you have is 9.9 and should be 19 or hgher.

Well, the doc wants me to try Prometrium Progesterone supplements for

10 days out of my cycle next month, Im scared though this will

straighten out on its own too once the cortisol and thryoid is fixed.

But, if Im that low, supplements won't hurt me, right??

though.

The whole time, I've been on 75mcg og levothyroxine crap. Weird huh?

So, with my free t3 being that low, and free t4 being there (1.3

range 0.8-1.8), Can I start adding a little bit of Armour(like 1/2

grain) to my levo crap? Thats the docs suggestions. I just dont want

too much t4. he wants me to start adding one grain to the levo, and

then up and up and up and eventually take out the levo crap. I think

starting with half a grain would be ok, or even 1/8 grain because of my

low adrenals. Your advice based on these labs?

THANKS,

[Guest guest]

I would not do the progesterone pills but do a good quality cream instead.

Yes, cortisol may help progesterone but I would also try the cream because

adrenals need progesterone. Don't get the soy or wild yam, but actual

progesterone cream. The pills have a lot more problems and since more than

one organ is involved and you seem to have potential liver issues, I would

avoid the pills which will only aggravate your liver. I am doing the cream

again now and find it helps my cortisol. With the cream, there is a lot less

potential for having problems, especially if you avoid fatty tissues where

it can be stored. For me personally, progesterone cream has really helped

and I am on the cheap wild yam form.

Getting on Milk Thistle will help your liver and it is cheap.

How long ago did you have the vaccination? Yes, it is antibodies but that is

the point. The antibodies are fighting off HepB but they aren't a success if

they still are showing up. A doc told me this in 1990 about my high white

blood cell count and my swollen node. Well, the node continues to be swollen

after 18 years and I instinctively knew the doc was wrong that having a high

white blood count on more than one test and ongoing swollen nodes are

indicative of something more. Too bad docs don't take our issues more

seriously.

Did you post FSH and them? I don't remember seeing that but yes, those are

the ones that have to do with pituitary.

So, what 3 organs did the doc say were failing?

Armour can increase RT3 depending on your conversion and cellular resistant

issues, especially with your low cortisol. I personally think you need to

get on cortisol replacement first or you will further stress adrenals.

>

he was very confusing said 3 were failing and listed 4, pituitary,

thryoid, adrenal, and pineal.

So, I'll be asking him this too.

My

FSH was 3.8 3.1-17.7 mid cycle range

LH was 15.9 8.7- 76.3 mid cycle range- he marked this one

Prolactin was 6.7 3.0-30.0

True, I just really want to start Armour, I've been waiting forever.

Hopefully he offers me Cortef again. I was hesitant before. He's

starting me on a Vitamin regiman, maybe that will be enough.

I cant wait till my follow up Monday.

[Guest guest]

I apply it to places where it gets into the blood stream easily like inner

elbows, behind knees, etc. But any dry, thin skinned area will work. You can

put it on fatty areas, but it tends to be stored so I only do that before I

go to bed since it releases slower and can help with sleep.

I don't know of further Hep testing. Maybe you can google for more info, but

after 4 years if antibodies are still showing up, to me, that would be a

concern. Sometimes vaccinations can actually cause the virus since a lot of

vaccinations contain the virus of the thing they are trying to vaccinate

against. Well known side effect of vaccinations. I definitely would google

more on this.

Definitely ask about how he knows about the pineal since none of your tests

told me that. The others I can see. I think my pineal gland is full of

toxins and shrank and would love to know how to address that.

LH is on the low end but I really don't think those results indicate

anything based on that only.

Please share what he tells you when you talk to him. I am very curious about

his analysis and how he arrived at it.

If he offers you Cortef, get the prescription. You can always decide later

if you want to use it but for how hard it is for the rest of us to get our

docs to listen, you really want to take advantage and have that handy.

Especially if you have an adrenal crisis down the road. Better safe then

sorry and if you never need it, then you are no worse off.

Something tells me you have a toxicity issue too, and they is why so many

organs are in trouble. Have you ever had a hair test or other tests for

things like heavy metal poisoning?

Based on these labs I would start wiht no more than 1/4 grain of Armru

but I would lower the Levo immediately as it is juts feeding the RT3.

No, never had that.

I wouldn't be surprised though. I have had fillings that are older.

Also, I was quite the partier when younger.

I'd be most interested.

Won't the armour feed the reverse t3 too seeing as how it contains t4

also?

With my t3 that low, I thought my adrenals could handle a tad bit.

The Armoru MAY add to the RT3 but getting some thyroid in you when that low is

advisable. With adrneals really low it is not a good time to try straight T3 as

it can be really rough on the adrneas. Once you get good adrenal support in

place it is a good idea ot recheck for RT3 then if needed you can go to all T3.
