How are you doing now? TSH- the intereference on that test is antibodies. Free t3 the interference on that test is antibodies and binding globulins. A much better test is free t3 dialysis- using lc-ms. I am on low dose naltrexone to lower my antibodies

How long after your last dosage of thyroid was that test done? If you have thyroid disease the problem with tsh testing the interference is antibodies and so is free t3. Also the standard free t3 test has interference with binding globulins . A much better test is am, (before you take thyroid...

SHBG can rise with someone with low testosterone as a way to hold onto more testosterone. SHBG so many other things make it rise like plastics and phalates we are exposed to everyday. Testosterone should make it go down. Estradiol makes it go up

HgH does lower shbg and I failed the ITT stim test for growth hormone however gh did not low my shbg but it would depend on the person and the cause.

SHBG is a separate but often times Thyroid Binding Globulin is high as well. SHBG rising when a persons testosterone is low is a way for the body to hold on to more testosterone. High shbg means testosterone will stay in the body longer so total t will be higher. Free testosterone is not as...

Reverse t3 is made from t4, it is a way for the body to get rid of excess t4. Free t3 on a standard lab test, the interference on that test is binding globulins and antibodies. So, thyroid patients that is not necessarily accurate to do a standard free t3 test. If reverse t3 is high then...

The bottle is smaller so you wont be able to put 10 ml of water in it. Probably 5ml or less I am not sure the size. but the dosage will be half as it is much stronger. The 12,000iu from empower vial is made to fit 12 ml of water . The other stuff from reliable is not. some guys will buy the...

If it were me, I would be testing free t3, free t4, tsh and both sets of thyroid antibodies if you have not. I would also be testing am cortisol and acth serum to see where that is at since your dhea is very low and that is in the same pathway. SHBG is suppose to go down with testosterone not...

My dad was on testosterone for almost 30 yrs never had any issues, he was 91 when he died. If it were not for the Covid Vaccine, he would still be here today. I have heard of guys using orals developing liver issues but even that is rare. I don't think that study is worth a shit of evidence...

I see the studies you posted but I want to make sure you understand that 19 nor is actually bioidentical , everyone has that hormone that everyone has, granted in small amounts. The amount of what they give rats in these studies is a huge dosage to represent steroid abuse, not something a human...

One thing that I had that and sometimes I would have one large lymph node then it would go down then another would pop up. I have seen this in some thyroid groups people talking about this as well. What it was was Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I have not had that in years but I had it for years. I...

Ok with a shbg like that , that is ideal for daily injections . Lower shbg means the t is not staying in your system low a tsh of 2 is elevated to me means your thyroid is low if it were me i would get both antibodies tested as well as reverse t3 , free t3 should be done with t3 dialysis way...

If it were me i would want to know what my shbg was is it super low or high ? Pinning more often keeps testosterone more even this more important for people that have low shbg because it does not stay in their system

What is your shbg level? Free t3? Free t4 ? Tsh ?

Did you ever get any help with this?

So, some of the reasons why a person has elevated shbg you probably already know however a few others you may not know is iron overload - hemochromatosis causes elevated shbg . The other cause is simply having low testosterone. What was your testosterone level? SHBG is a way for the body to...

The study does not differentiate between environmental, women or men. It just talks about the role of estrogen and hole it affects thyroid. The same thing would apply to cortisol, because will affect cortisol binding globulin levels. That is what it is pertaining too . It does mention...

Role of Estrogen in Human Thyroid function The purpose of this post is to tell you that too much estrogen has a profound affect on not just Thyroid Binding globulin but also thyroid function in general. This could be from endogenous sources,plastics,or as in one study it was meat with heavy...

You are right

I think this is part of the issue I have with this. Ng/dl is a unit of measurement . Different labs would have a different range because of variations in populations tested. We may have a total testosterone top of the range variation of 726 to 1,130 ng/dL. But that does not mean one lab at...

By the way FDA Registered Means absolutely nothing, I mean, nothing. Registering with the FDA does not have anything to do at all with accuracy, viability, reliability or anything really. Registering with the FDA is a simple process. It does not mean, this product is 10 times better and...

So, total testosterone done from quest the range is different because their free range is super low for age group 35 to 155 pg/ml and if I was going to change that to ng/dl the top would be 15.5 but that is not the issue. So this is one example quest diagnostics Total t done with lc/ms/ms was...

I have tested through quest many times same way total testosterone with lc/ms/ms and free testosterone with equilibrium dyalysis and came up very similar results and similar with the Nebido calculator but every single time your tru t is way off from that. I think these high shbg people need...

Those are from quest diagnostics

So, I tested with free testosterone with equilibrium dialysis and it was 19.8 total testosterone was 863 . I have done this other times it was pretty close to that. On the nebido calculator it was 18.5 ok. So, then lets take a journey here to the tru t . It is saying my free testosterone...

I have tested free testosterone with equilibrium dialysis and actually nebido calculator was the closest every time the tru t shit was not even close.

I think the Tru-T method is not accurate at all . I can tell you by reducing my shbg from 65 plus down to 30 it was a big difference. not just a little. I have heard this from other guys too. I think we like to put everyone in a box and give them one size fits all and that is just wrong. It...

What I was talking about is how if your shbg is elevated it will elevate total testosterone as well because it increases the half life of testosterone , while at the same time binding up a person usable free unbound testosterone. This is a big issue, as some guys may have normal levels of...
