[QUOTE="tarnation, post: 68306, member: 13985"] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]Hey everyone. I apologize in advance for the long post. But I would greatly appreciate any insight anyone can share with me. I am a patient with Defy Medical, and I am currently undergoing trt as well as thyroid treatment with Dr. Saya. Dr. Saya has done an amazing job getting my testosterone levels back to normal whilst managing my e2 levels. However, I am not sure if I am on the right track with my thyroid protocol. Initially, I was told to take 2 grains of NDT (one in the morning, and one in the afternoon). These were my labs before starting this protocol: THS: 3.36 (.51-6.27) [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]Thyroglobulin, Tumor Marker: 5.7 (1.8 - 4.0) [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]T3 Reverse, Serum: 30 (10-24)[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]DHEA-S 105 (89-457) [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]Free T3: 1.4 (2.0 - 4.4) [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]Progesterone: .358ng/ml [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]PSA Diagnostic: .174 (0.0 - 4.0) [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]Throxine Free 4: .96 (.93 -1.70) [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]Thyroperoxidase Ab, S: .7 (<9.0) After being on this protocol for around 5 months my labs were: [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]TSH: .345 (.27-4.2) [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]Thyroglobulin, Tumor Marker: 5.4 (1.8 - 4.0) (HIGH)[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]T3 Reverse, Serum: 18 (10-24)[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]Free T3: 2.9 (2.0 - 4.4) [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#000000][FONT=arial]Throxine Free 4: .78 (.93 -1.70) (LOW) [/FONT][/COLOR]I sent the most recent labs to defy medical prior to my consultation with one of the nurses.
