[QUOTE="jger242, post: 7206, member: 638"] Thanks Vettester Chris for the response. Sorry for the info overload. M.D. ordered phlebotomies due to TRT increasing hct to average 54-57% and hgb 19-21 after 4th mth of trt. He also reduced my Tcyp dose to 50 mg/wk. I do 80 mg per wk now. I thought that iron, hgb, hct and ferritin all were linked. If one was high all were high. I've found that is not true. The order said phlebotomy every 4 wks until hgb is under 16. Obviously I will not have another until I get my ferritin and iron levels up. And then I will continue to supplement with iron. I take the HC meds 4 times per day. 7 a.m. -10 mg / noon - 10 mg / 5 p.m.- 7.5 mg / 10 p.m. - 2.5 mg T3 at the same times / 6.25 mcg per time D3 lab is from Sept. 4, 2013, at the time I had been taking 5000 mg d3 softgel for about 10 weeks. Since the test I take 10000 per day. D 25-hydroxy ... 38.3 ... (range 30-100) I do not have magnesium labs. I do take 800 mg of Magnesium glycinate per day and 20 meq of rx potassium per day. My physician will not run any antibodies (TPO and/or TgAb) M.D. and his N.P both say those tests are not necessary (which we know is not the case) and refused to test Rt3. They order free t3 test but their staff always checks for serum t3 (4 times) I know 25 mcg of cynomel per day is a low amount but I've tried to reduce it further and feel really tired and foggy when I do. That is why I stayed at that dose after reducing down from 62.5 mcg per day. I was considering Nature throid NDT in 4-6 months. Which do you think is best? thanks, Jim [/QUOTE]
