I switched over to Defy Medical in June of this year and liked what I experienced. I was paired up with Dr. Chrisler (did I have a choice??) and he went over my test results which were pretty good already because I had been getting treatment from a local clinic (long story, they are closed). Dr. Chrisler made a few small adjustments and this was my protocol:
.5 ml of 200/mg Test-C twice weekly Sub Q
.25 AI on shot days
10 units of HCG every day Sub Q
1 grain of nature thyroid daily
A lot of fish oil (he was very concerned about hematocrit)
Did my blood work on my own a month later through discountedlabs.com and here are the main things
Total T: 877 Free T: 37.9 E2: 24 TSH: 4.29 T3: 3.4 T4: .8 Hematocrit: 51.3
Was feeling decent......but that last month or two I have not been doing too well. Very agitated and unhappy. Very fatigued and tired and overall just feeling blah... Called Defy and asked if I was due for bloodwork since I thought originally they said they would get it in 6 weeks but it is now 5 months. They sent me the script and I went in at the end of November and here is what came back (Quest Diagnostics)
Total T: 1342 Free T: 382 E2: 58 TSH: 2.20 T3: 3.9 T4: .8 Hematocrit: 56.5
Wow! My testosterone really shot up and I'm sure that is what caused the agitation and anger. I do not want to be that high if thats what i causes! Worried about Hematocrit jumping that much too! So I call Defy to see if they received my results and they had about a week ago. I asked if i could get an appointment with Dr. Chrisler to change my protocol to get me back in line and they advise me he is no longer with them. Even worse, no one else such as Dr. Saya is available untill end of December or beginning of January.
What do you think caused my numbers to jump so high?
Do you think those numbers are causing my overall terrible feeling?
Can I "self adjust" my meds until I can finally talk to Dr. Saya? Where would you start?
