[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 16099, member: 696"] Kram, thanks for joining and posting your results up. I'm sure there's a variety of topics to touch on here, but I'll keep it focused on your thyroid for the moment on my end ... On your Armour dosage, am I reading that correct at 15mg/day? Surely you're not just taking 1/4 grain for thyroid treatment (and yes, I know your name is not Shirley)? From there, I look at your T3 and T4, which tells me that you indeed might be on a 1/4 grain of NDT. Your FT4 is only at 16% of its reference range value, no FT3 (that I see) but Total T3 is below the reference range. Your TSH is probably in exhaust mode, as I'm probably sure there's a constant demand due to low thyroid hormone levels. In time, TSH will just exhaust itself and it will stop being produced by the pituitary. Would really like to see your Reverse T3, and know if antibodies have been reviewed, or if you know of any autoimmune disorders that you have? I know you're looking at the testosterone, E2, SHBG, and other items, but IMO you need to also put the thyroid topic at the top of the list. If that's a reflection of where your thyroid is at, an optimal TRT program will be like a fine tuned supercharged race car that's running on tires with 10lbs of air pressure and low octane gas.
