?? Not sure I understand. And what about my original question? Given the T levels I've been experiencing, could I have lowered my TBG levels, thereby causing hypothyroid-like symptoms, requiring ever higher dosages of Nature Throid? And if so, would the TBG levels return to normal once my T...

You're absolutely right and it's a damn shame since most go un-diagnosed or are improperly treated. 13 years ago I lost a sister due to complications from hypothyroidism. In fact, she'd suffered her whole life with it, because she'd never been diagnosed. In retrospect it's obvious now. And just...

I am taking Arimidex. As for my Test Cyp dose; up until October, for the past couple years I'd been injecting 200mg a week broken up into two 100mg injections. In Feb I weighed 275 pounds and my T level was around 1250. But by Oct I'd dropped another 40 pounds and my T level shot up to *2600*...

Found something interesting in my research and was wondering if anyone is familiar with elevated testosterone leading to Thyroid Binding Globulin [TBG] deficiency? …Sometimes referred to Thyroxine Binding Globulin. Sorry... I'm still new and can't link to sources yet... I've been on HRT for...

Hello all… It's taken me a while but I finally made it. I'd been a long time member of another HRT site but someone there was kind enough to tell me about this place. I understand there are a few here who've made the transition before me and they're the main reason I've joined. These...
