I made this switch to cream about 6 weeks ago now and I have been on the 20% cream from Empower for about 6 weeks now and doing 1 click in the morning and 1 click in the evening. I mostly wanted to switch to help keep hematocrit, hemoglobin, and RBC in range so I wouldn't have to donate anymore...

My endo ordered a 24 hour urine for cortisol and 5-HIAA. The cortisol results are back and still waiting for 5-HIAA to come back. I have a zoom meeting with her on Monday. What should I make of these results?

Ok, Finally got my therapeutic phlebotomy done today 5/18/2021. He wants me to test my CBC & Diff in 2 weeks to see where my levels are. Hopefully this will help resolve some of my symptoms. How long does it usually to take after the phlebotomy for the symptoms to go away if it was the blood...

I am running 26 mg Test Cyp every other day and 210 IU/HCG I was running 26 mg of Deca every other day to help with shoulder pain, but I stopped taking that a couple weeks ago. I came tired to come off of TRT for a bit in Janurary using Defys protocol. I did my labs on last day i took clomid...

Im in sacramento, ca and I usually goto vitalant. I talked to my PCP today and he said he won't do that and my trt clinic should be the ones handling that. My PCP is being a total prick and thinks what I am going through is all in my head because all of the test are coming up normal...

Tried to donate blood today and was turned away because my HR wouldn't go below 105 and the cut off is 100 :(. I have to wait to get a script to donate now. How do you find a place locally to do a therapeutic phlebotomy?

I got my labs back finally Defy. I am going to donate blood as soon as I can. I think I am also going to pull back on dosage of Testosterone for a bit as well. Hopefully this will clear out some of these symptoms. CBC With Differential/Platelet WBC 6.8 x10E3/uL 3.4-10.8 RBC 6.26 High...

Not very good. Ended up in the ER again with high BP 180/95 and splitting head ache. I don't know what is going on with me. Seems like my upper body is always really hot now. I haven't got my results back from Defy, but my new Endo ran some Thyroid test and they look pretty damn good. BTW...

After you stopped taking t3 how long did it take for you to notice those symptoms go away? Did you have any t3 type of withdrawals?

I had Testicular Torsion in 2006 which I believe really messed me up. It took them almost 6 hours to diagnoses it in ER and almost lost one of them. My T was at very bottom of the range and I felt miserable and super depressed all the time. A couple weeks after being on test the depression...

How long have you been off the t3 meds? How are you feeling now? Do you have anymore symptoms?

Thanks. I did labs for Defy on Tuesday, so hopefully I get the results soon. I just talked to a new endo today and told her about the cytomel and asked me why I was on it, and told her I wanted my thyroid optimized. I was having tired spells during mid-afternoon and I did notice after taking...

Those numbers are I gave you are on while I have been on cytomel. I have been on this Med since I have been with Defy going back to 06/2018. I was doing TRT since 2013 and switched to Defy in 2018. These are the numbers right before I got on cytomel. I was having symptoms of being tired, so...

Well the urine test was elevated. I find it weird that a beta blocker raised my BP when that medication is supposed to lower it. I read that people with Pheo should not take a beta blocker because it can cause a hypertensive crisis. I am not going to take this beta blocker again until I...

Ok new update. I got blood results back for testing of the pheochromocytoma and those all came back in range. I just received back the urine test results but they are saying something a little different. My urine metanephrine was 215(High) range (58-203). I message my GP about this and he...

I just got back from visiting the cardiologist and she said that my monitor I wore for 2 weeks did show i went into SVT 3 different times in my report for a short period of time. She said that the times that I did hit the button where I though I had an episode didn't show any SVT, but i did...

I already wore a Zio XT monitor for 2 weeks. On Monday he said everything looked normal except for the occasional fast heart rate. I am assuming this monitor would be able to pick up something like WPW and/or SVT?

I just end up in the ER again 2 days ago. I had my 2nd covid shot (pfizer) on Monday. The next day I was running a 101 temp, had some body aches, but other than that I felt fine. I went to walk my dog for a few minutes. I came home and was sitting around and noticed my heart rate start to...

I just got a Total t3 done to see where it was at. Here it is: Triiodothyronine (T3) 115 ng/dL 71-180 Not sure what that will show, but that is what my total t3 result was.

I took my t3 meds 15 hours before I did my bloodwork. I did an Iron panel back earlier this year, but keep in mind I donated blood in February and also in July. Maybe I am tanking my Ferritin with donating blood, because my June Ferritin was 59. Here are results from 1/30/19: Iron...

I was curious so I had my Thyroid labs retested and here are the results: TSH 3.430 uIU/mL 0.450-4.500 T4,Free(Direct) 0.85 ng/dL 0.82-1.77 Triiodothyronine (T3), Free 3.7 pg/mL 2.0-4.4 Reverse T3, Serum 10.8 ng/dL 9.2-24.1 Thyroglobulin Antibody <1.0 IU/mL 0.0-0.9 Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Ab 6...

Hi all, I have been noticing a lot more hair than usual coming off my head in the shower and it has never happened before. I noticed my T3 meds last 2 orders have been the slow released version from empower, so can this play a role in this hair falling out? I am currently taking 20 mcg of t3...

I feel pretty good and rested when I wake up in the morning. It seems to hit me right after lunch around 1pm-2pm. When I get home from work around 5:30 I will usually crash for an hour.

You think it is more of a t3 issue? I have 5mcg dose pills. You think doubling the dose to 30mcg/day would do me good?

I can't stand the taste of that stuff, so you won't find me drinking any of that lol

I am not sure, but recently I have been feeling tired everyday consistently for the last couple months right around 1-2pm everyday. I am 38 year old male I am 6'2" and around 187 lbs. The tired feeling almost feels like when you only get 2-3 hours a sleep at night. I get around 8 hours a sleep...

Yes I had symptoms of hypothyroid: Feeling tired, easy weight gain, ect. On t3 it doesn't seem to have dropped my tsh levels at all and my understanding the optimal range for tsh should be closer to 1? Do you think something else could be going on to cause tsh to be elevated and to raise my...

Hello everyone I told my girlfriend to go to her doctor and have them run Thyroid labs for her, but her doctor refused. She was having all the symptoms of hypothyroidism, so because her doctor refused to order thyroid test I went ahead and order some online for her and these are the results. I...
