[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 6479, member: 696"] EC, thank you for joining, and a BIG thank you for providing such an excellent, detailed post!! There is a lot of information, so it should encourage much conversation from many angles. Before I get too far, can you please give me the unit of measurements for your Free T3, Total T3 and Reverse T3? Has your physician discussed his opinions on your TgAb antibody assay, which is speaking loud and clear. The concern for Hashis (IMO) is evident, as this lab shows your immune system is attacking your thyroglobulin, which is at the protein level (TPO being peroxidase enzyme). Either way, let's see what RT3 ratio is with FT3 and/or TT3 and start with that. There's kind of an odd deviation going with your platelets; your last lab definitely on the low end. Again, I'd be curious on what the doctor's perspective is with that subject? On the cortisol, it's really hard to make heads or tails with a basic serum test. Especially not knowing the time of day. As I suggest for everyone, the gold standard with many leading physicians is the 4x Saliva Panel. Getting a circadian pattern from early in the morning (at it's highest) to late night (lowest) is going to reflect how your adrenals are truly performing throughout the entire day. You provided us with a ton of information already, but hoping you will research this one a little further. Although, your testosterone serum might not be exactly where you would prefer, it's not completely terrible sitting in the 500ng/dl zone either. Your HPTA appears to be producing sufficient amounts of LH & FSH, so IMO that's not the defining factor with your issues. Maybe, ideally you would like to see your serum up a bit, but again, I don't think that's the magic fix with the issues you're experiencing. Let me know on those thyroid units of measurements, and we'll chat some more. I'll post more about the thyroid levels of T4 compared to T3 on a future post. Thanks again for signing up and sharing!
