SHBG testosterone/T3 questions

July 31, 2010

I'm confused on the SHBG and T3/testosterone. I started taking testosterone

shots about 6 weeks ago. It seems its been downhill since.

Exactly what effect will taking testosterone have on my adrenals and on my T3

levels? Do I need to raise HC? Do I need to raise/lower T3? I am confused...

I felt pretty good a month after dropping T4 (going T3 only) and taking B-12

shots. I added in the testosterone and it seems its been downhill since. My TSH

got as high as 8.47 and as low as .02 and I can't seem to find the right dosage.

Temps are lower and somewhat unstable but I am taking 40mg Hc, plus licorice

root, plus adrenal support, plus watching stress levels and diet. Hard to

believe its adrenals. My BP has went up and settled around 125/82 and it used to

be 110/70 , so I'm thinking its thyroid or testosterone or SHGB since the

testosterone has been my only major change.

Can too low a thyroid stress the adrenals?
