Did your PCP give you any antibiotics? Nothing out of the ordinary in your urine analysis? Kinda sounds like prostatitis: Prostatitis - Symptoms and causes If your concerned you can ask for a 4K blood test and or a 3T-MP-MRI of the prostate. I have some post about my adventures with...

Your FT4 is at 43% of range. Your FT3 is at 47% of range. Both no where near optimal. As noted above RT3 is another piece of the puzzle that is needed. Most DRs are taught to treat to ranges and NOT symptoms... I will add some other links to the one Systemlord provided that have great sound...

Yep. You are correct Captain. I got my 3's and 4's mixed up:) It seems my body sees the T4 from the NDT as excessive and converts it to RT3:( I may need to drop my NDT way back and see if my DR will add in some synthetic T3. The question of the day is why is my T4 getting shunted to RT3? May...

Update, I dropped my NDT (90MG tabs) down to one tab and it cleared the RT3 in a week or less. I titrated up by a 1/2 tab over the last few weeks. 1 tab, 1.5 tabs, 2 tabs, 2.5 tabs. My FT3 was on a steady rise. My FT4 stayed low and did not move up as much as I thought it would have. My RT3...

See your GP if it does not get better. You may also have been bitten by some insect and not noticed it. I got stung by a ground wasp on my ankle a number of years ago, but I wont go into the details and give you something else to worry about:) Like I said..... If it does not clear up, see your...

1Draw linked to a blog post from Dr. Childs. I have linked the blog and his YouTube channel below. Here are some reference sites that are a wealth of information on the thyroid.: 1. http://www.tiredthyroid.com/ My view one of the top 3 sites. Easy to read and navigate. Barbara has a book...

NDT (Armour) has both T4 and T3. When one is on NDT your TSH will be suppressed as the pituitary sees the Armour and thinks your thyroid is putting out too much thyroid hormone and tells the thyroid to pull back. Low TSH is telling the thyroid to stop putting out thyroid hormone. High TSH is...

Interesting. CM2:1 is pretty tart, so how does it impact the taste of yogurt or a shake?

Here is a great explanation of insulin resistance : Insulin Resistance Diet Guide for Beginners + Advanced Weight Loss Tips and if you are also hypothyroid: Hypothyroidism and Insulin Resistance (4 Steps to Reverse it)

Here is a good review of citrulline: Citrulline - Scientific Review on Usage, Dosage, Side Effects VC: Intolerable due to taste? MM: Taste... FWIW the added Stevia does make it drinkable for me. I can understand trying to drink a mix straight would almost be impossible for me. "A spoon full...

Thanks guys... 2 heaping teaspoon in a 12oz bottle of water with 4 or 5 packets of stevia and it is drinkable. So if I drink 2 bottles in the AM and 2 in the PM I am using north of 8 heaping teaspoons. found this: https://www.quora.com/How-many-grams-are-in-a-teaspoon How Many Grams Of...

I purchased some bulk L-Citrulline DL-Malate 2:1. Very inexpensive in bulk form from Amazon. One Kilo for $27.00 shipped. I have been adding it to the water I drink at work. I add stevia and 2 heaping teaspoons to a 12oz bottle of water. Ends up tasting like lemon aid with enough stevia:) I...

Never heard of it. I have BPH and my current and prior Uro's never mentioned this drug. I will ask my next appointment what the seal is...

If you are going to try the LOCAL DR route make sure and get a firm response if the DR.; 1. Treats to symptoms and not just ranges. 2. Uses NDT. 3. Does the DR use both NDT and synthetic at the same time if needed. 4. Does the DR use ONLY synthetic T4, or does the DR use a combination of...

Good solid info here: https://www.restartmed.com/reverse-t3/ also here: http://www.tiredthyroid.com/rt3-3.html http://www.tiredthyroid.com/rt3-4.html http://www.tiredthyroid.com/rt3-9.html Also Stop The Thyroid Madness web site has some good info also, but cant seem to access the site right now...

I would defer to their guidance then. Did they indicate to you when you needed to do follow-up labs?

Wondering... Was the NDT under DR orders?

I use a transdermal from EmpowerRx. 200mg/ml at 30ml applicator. I use 2 clicks (100mg/day about a 1/4 teaspoon). Works well for me. Cost is reasonable as I pay out of pocket. Still cheaper than most co-pays (unless you have some really good insurance) and no insurance hassles.... About a...

Someone posted about using a "virtual Credit Card" form your bank for one time buys. I have no idea what that is, as did not look into it. You might look into it. Another option is to use a prepaid green dot credit card (visa) that is cleared for overseas purchases. The only down side is a...

Great E2 link: http://www.peaktestosterone.com/Hdr_Estrogen.aspx

Based on the article and the fact that I am on NDT, I dropped my NDT dose down to 90mg (about 1.4 grains) today and I will keep it there for a week and run labs again and see what the trend line looks likes.....

As we have moved into the RT3 arena (and I have an RT3 issue that I also need to address) here is a great article that covers it every way to Sunday: https://www.restartmed.com/reverse-t3/ I am on NDT and my very current lab had my RT3 at 33, FT3 at 3.7 and FT4 at 1.2. :( :(

Hmmmm May be going off track here and you may want to start a thread just on proper AI dosing. Things like what E2 test was ran... Sensitive VS standard test? BIG difference if dosing against the WRONG test... Reading with ranges. Arimidex is some VERY powerful stuff.. A LITTLE goes a long...

1mg per week? 0.25 mg per week? or ?

What is the "low dose of Arimidex"?
