Please someone tell me if this must be a mistake? Bloodwork 4/11/18, Total T=1272 ng/dl, Total Free=470 pg/ml, estradiol 30.1 pg/ml 8/5/17 T=176, FT=36.4 - started on gel 9/1/17 11/11/17 T=325, FT=63.8 - started cyp shots - 100mg weekly 2/2/18 T=389, FT=67.7, estradiol 56.7 Dr. adjusted dose...

Hi 1Draw, I had a full thyroid panel done and everything was in the normal range except my reverse T3 was high at 29.1. Just like you said! My TSH was 1.55 (toward the low normal range). So perhaps my symptoms are thyroid related? My PCP did not order this lab, I went to one on my own. Should I...

Very interesting links, my thyroid test always comes back normal, so my doctor has never ordered a full thyroid panel. How do I find a doctor that understands all of this? My primary has no clue, my urologist is just looking at my T levels, my lyme dr just wants to give me antibiotics, holistic...

Are you also being treated for low t? If so, would you say that was caused by the lyme or a separate issue? So far 6 months of TRT treatment has not helped me with my lyme symptoms if fact seems to be contributing to some ED issues that I didn't have before. I can't tolerate the antibiotics...

Kind of the same thing in the lyme world. Most doctors have no clue what to do with someone who is having lyme symptoms where a few days of doxy doesn't help. They refer you to all kinds of specialist who have no clue either. My current "lyme literate" dr. is one of the few around here that...

ok, thanks for that advice. Would you suggest that I should be seeing an endocrinologist and not a urologist?

My doctor did not discuss multiple injections per week, he initially wanted me to inject every 2 weeks, but as I learned here, that is not best. I guess I am not clear on SHBG, is that one test? My doctor did not order that one. I don't sleep well because most nights I have body aches, and my...

I live in NH. Work outside been exposed to lots of tics. On my second Dr. now, took me a year to get an appointment. Been 2 years of treatment with little improvement. Did lots of heavy duty combos of antibiotic treatment. Tried tons of holistics. I think the lyme has messed with my hormone...

Thanks for your reply and patience with me. My dose was adjusted 2 weeks ago from 100mg/week to 200mg/week. Blood work ordered by my primary, done in Aug. 2017, results total T=176, Free=36.4. He sent me to a urologist and he ordered blood work also done in Aug. 2017. Prolactin, serum 13.3, LHS...

55 year old male, struggling with symptoms from long term lyme disease. Brain fog, muscle fatigue, body aches, exercise intolerance for several years now. Summer had blood test for T levels. Came back total T=176. Doc sent me to urologist, he put me on gel, 2 months later total T=325 (no change...
