Re: Test Results - Finally!

Your estrogen and testosterone are both low. Your free T3 needs to come

up a tad as your free T4 too, but maybe only another half a grain. You

have a problem whit RT3 it is too high for where your free T3 is, your

ratio is 18.24 so it might be fine if you can raise the Armour a tad more.

Okay so now how do I bring up the estrogen (is this the DHEA?) &

testosterone? I'm afraid to raise the Armour because every time I do,

I go hyper. My temps are still averaging 97.7 / 97.8. I've thought

about my hair falling out again this past week, I think it is because

I got a new tattoo last Wednesday. I think I probably should have

stressed dosed the HC before I went.

I think it is best to replace what is missing not a precursor so you

wold need estrogen adn testosterone. I have no sources for T but we do

have sources fo restrogen, several kinds of ti.

I see, can you send me an updated list (or whoever does this now), I

would appreciate it. I'm suppose to go over the results with the Dr

so if I can sound intellegent enough maybe he will help me out here

and prescribe something. I'm guessing that the estrogen is DHEA? I

see on my labs that this is very low and I didn't see " estrogen "

listed anyplace.

Also I was thinking, I'm wondering if my Free's were a bit low because

it had been over 17 hours from my last dose of Armour the night

before, until my Dr's appointment the next day? Would that make a

difference?

I'm going to keep my HC dosing where it is for now ( 10 / 7.5 / 5 /

2.5). I dose my Armour 1 grain / 1/2 grain / 1/2 grain. If I try and

raise another 1 /2 grain, where should I add that to?

Sorry my post is so long, Sunday morning, I'm awake and on a roll LOL

I will send ou the list to you. NO estrogen is NOT DHEA. DHEA is a precursor but

bets to replace estrogen directly when it is low. It may be listed as estradiol

on testing. SAeveral options for replacment are available. I use Premarin, but

many prefer bioidentical estrogen and a good brand is Oestrogel which is

estradiol 17b

NO Free's in blood are not changed by not taking meds the day of tetsing if your

conversion is working properly. What shows is a steady serum state of the

hormnes whihc is what oyu need to knwo. If it is low, you need more thyroid.

If oyu do nto have a bedtime dose, add it then.

>> No, I don't take a bedtime dose (or I should say when I don't

forget to take my last dose) so I will add it there.
