Thyroid, Adrenal Fatigue, DHEA? Advice Please!
Probably need rT3 and fT3 for a better picture. I was told by my doc that when we have dysfunctional thyroids, we can have episodic waves of good days/weeks and then, like bipolar disorder, be sunken for days/weeks. So this might be what's happening.- dell500

Thyroid, Adrenal Fatigue, DHEA? Advice Please!
I started out with liothyronine (generic Cytomel) 5mcg/day. Doc said 7-10 days and reassess. I did 2-3 weeks at that dose and then went up to 10mcg, which is where I've been for the last month and half. I also changed testosterone esters, propionate instead of cypionate, and my quality of life...- dell500

Thyroid, Adrenal Fatigue, DHEA? Advice Please!
Sounds like the same runaround I had with my primary. Luckily my hormone doc at Defy (Caleb Calkins) got everything figured out. T3 has been a lifesaver. I just started a new job and I have enough energy to withstand the day finally. I hope you get it figured out sooner than later.- dell500

Thyroid, Adrenal Fatigue, DHEA? Advice Please!
So your thyroid is enlarged and they didn't want to do more blood tests? Odd. Was that free T4 or total? I started T3 meds and feel light-years better. The DHEA was definitely causing my fatigue and acne like sh mentioned above. Hopefully someone else can chime in and help. Hope you get it...- dell500

DHEA, is it needed on TRT?
Will do. Would taking it for the last 4 days be enough for a reaction tho? Since it's a hormone and all.- dell500

DHEA, is it needed on TRT?
What were your levels before taking it? Mine are mid-range but I also have some thyroid stuff going on. Doc recently said to start taking 25mg with my liothyronine (5mcg/day rn) and all I feel is extreme fatigue and some minor acne coming on.- dell500

Thyroid, Adrenal Fatigue, DHEA? Advice Please!
How did you get off TRT? I meant to ask my doc at Defy today but forgot. Been wondering if there's a cut off point for how low testosterone has to be in order to rule it being a thyroid issue or hypogynodasim or possibly both.- dell500

Thyroid help
My numbers are the same as the OPs. High rT3, mid-range T3, T4, mid (high) TSH. I have a family history of hypo in my family and I've been dealing with crazy lethargy after dialing in my TRT protocol (32mg EOD, 110mg/wk avg). First few weeks are fine then it feels like my body can't keep up...- dell500
