Re: Low Thyroid after starting TRT?

[Guest guest]

One can get a bad thyroid in 2 yrs has nothing to do with TRT. It happened to

me but I looked good on labs to my Dr. I told him to give me Armour meds to see

if I feel better and I did.

Thanks for the reply....just didn't know if there was a correlation between the

two that I didn't know about, or a possible trend with other group members and

their experiences.

TRT? I did have a full thyroid work-up prior to starting Testim, then switched

to Test Cypionate injections, also take compounded Anastrozol. Had everything

tested except Reverse T3.

Have lost about 50lbs over the last 2 years since starting TRT, but have now hit

a plateau, about the same time my fatigue started.

I've been on TRT for 2 years this November. So no it didn't start right after

beginning TRT.

TRT? I did have a full thyroid work-up prior to starting Testim, then switched

to Test Cypionate injections, also take compounded Anastrozol. Had everything

tested except Reverse T3.

Have lost about 50lbs over the last 2 years since starting TRT, but have now hit

a plateau, about the same time my fatigue started.

Well, went and saw my Dr. today. Great doctor, is going to run all hormones and

full thyroid panel to include Reverse T3, Total and Free T4 and T3 values. I'm

wondering if I need to increase my Testosterone, labs will tell???

Thanks for the responses
