[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 8507, member: 696"] Yeah, I'd like to see the labs ... In regards to thyroid, what was his free T3 and Reverse T3 numbers? Sometimes free T3 can be sitting within "the range", but it's not getting into the body adequately due to a variety of reasons. In this case, Free T3 will "usually" be sitting to the right of Free T4, meaning FT3 is higher in the reference range compared to FT4 (usually the case, BUT not always ..). TPO & TgAb antibodies checked out? On the cortisol, was it 4x saliva? When the initial testosterone serum lab came back at 200ng/dl, no doubt that anyone here will disagree that it qualifies as "Low T". My question to that is, what form of hypogonadism was he diagnosed with (Primary or Secondary)? With either diagnosis, did they run any MRI's or testicular exams? Sticking to that category, I'd also be curious to know his free testosterone %, hopefully they checked and/or ran SHBG. Also, the E2 "all over the place" could be a real factor here. I've had it crash just the same, and I know it's a total libido killer when it's in the tank. On the E2 assays, were they running Sensitive or Ultra-Sensitive? I'll keep an eye out for the labs ... Knowing the importance of this situation to both of you, have you guys considered looking at one of the physicians/clinics like Defy or Dr. Crisler, who specialize in this exact area of practice? I'm with Kaiser, and my relation with my GP is better than ever, BUT, for HRT, I go out of state to a specialist. I keep my GP informed on the protocols and various treatments, which at this point and time is far from being implemented at PCPs like KP. Yes, please post labs, I'll be keeping an eye out for them.
