Dr. wants to lower my Armour because T is making me Hyper out of range

[Guest guest]

I had a Dr. visit last Friday and he wants to lower my armour from 4 grains down

to 3 grains. He said my Testosterone therapy is making me Hyper according to

the labs. Thinks I don't need as much Armour as before. Does T Therapy lower

the amount of Thyroid a person needs? He also wants to lower my injections from

100mg/ml twice a week to 50mg/ml twice a week. I don't feel Hyper nor do I feel

like superman on this amount of T and 4 grains of Armour. I have been on 4

grains for 2-3 years and the Free T 3 has never been this high.

Free T4 1.94 Range 0.73-1.95 NG/DL

Free T3 9.6 Range 2.3-4.2 PG/ML

TSH <0.1 Range 0.3-5.1 UIU/ML

Testosterone, Free/Total 1296 Range 241-827 NG/DL

SHBG 48 Range 13-71 NMOL/L

Thanks,

Greg

Looking at your labs they look just like mine were when I went hyper. Your Free

T3 is over the top but I don't see how your Testosterone levels can do this. I

would cut back on the Armour but only 30 mgs at a time and cut back on the shot

by 25 mgs.

That is how my Dr. did it.
