[QUOTE="Zach Hess, post: 93195, member: 12733"] Has anyone treated their low T from using thyroid, DHEA? I just had my consult with Defy & the Dr. wants to put me on DHEA, dessicated thyroid (as well as TRT). I'm hesitant to jump into the TRT @ 25 but I think im going to do it. (Protocol is 80mg 2x/week & 500IU HCG w/ shots) . Just didn't know if fixing my thyroid would fix this - my TSH has always been good but Free T3 low. FWIW been trying to raise test for 2.5 years - tried clomid & came off only to come back about 100 pts higher on my test than before with the same free. I have always had very high SHBG. My T levels (multiple blood tests) off clomid are basically between 270-330 with free being below the range. Main thyroid problems I had were always extreme sensitivity to the cold & lowered metabolic rate. Clomid raises me to 900-1300 but w/ high SHBG. I do feel better on clomid(morning wood 95% of the time), but its fleeting at times in terms of libido & mood. I have been having some vision issues when transitioning to different lights & after exertion(exercise). Additionally, my muscle recovery & level of pain are not at levels that I want them to do be at. I suffered from chronic muscle pain & tore a bicep. I've always had a hard time putting on muscle & I look like I don't lift despite being highly educated in bodybuilding science. I'm not overweight as im 6'0 160 lbs - been trying everything under the sun the past 2.5 years. Initial tests of hormones revealed a 330 testosterone level (w/ free being below range) during a period of no stress (summer) and everything optimized. Doc gave me the option of going all in with everything or trying the conservative approach with the thyroid, DHEA & stinging nettle root. I have ordered the entire treatment & will start next week (although im still indecisive - guess thats another symptom of the low T). TRT - 80mg cyp E3.5D HCG - 500IU w/ TRT DHEA - 40mg/night Stinging nettle - 500 mg/day Dessicated thyroid - .5 grain for 1.5 weeks - work up to find sweet spot Anu inputs appreciated. I think im making the right choice! [/QUOTE]
