Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 I have an appt to see my local doc today so I called to get the labs that I just had done on Tuesday. Aldosterone and renin aren't back yet, but check out these labs. On paper I seem to be headed in the right direction. I wish that the it was reflected in the way I felt. Local doc thinks that I'm obsessing over this too hard and that I need to increase my Klonopin, at least a little, to help with sleep b/c lack of it is probably playing a huge role in how I feel day in and day out. Can't disagree with that. I gave him my copy of Peatfield's book to read. Still hoping to convert him to a believer on adrenal fatigue. TSH 3rd gen - 1.09 (.4 - 4.5) T4-Free - 1.1 (.8 - 1.8) T3-Free - 349 (230-420) DHEA Sulfate - 52 (45-345) Testosterone, total - 611 (241-827) Estradiol - 15 (13-54) Progesterone .5 (< 1.4) Albumin 5.2 H (3.6-5.1) Compare that to labs from just a month ago (same lab so same ranges) TSH 3rd gen - 2.82 T4-Free - 1.0 T3-Free - 302 DHEA sulfate - 49 Testosterone - 660 (with a different range though <250-1100> Estradiol - 21 Progesterone - .5 Albumin - 4.5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 None. You've told me to get on some DHEA every time I've posted labs - at least 5 times LOL. I have tried it twice - once on a whack-job doc's prescription of 25mg/day which made me want to kill my wife, and then I tried it on my own, 5mg, 2x/day early in the day but got taken off of it by my Top Doc in MI when I complained of GI trouble and he took me off of a bunch of stuff. Barb just suggested yesterday that I add in 5mg once/day in the AM yesterday and I was thinking about doing it. Labs are great - when do I start feeling better dammit > > Looking better!
