[QUOTE="Esq, post: 64632, member: 15250"] I had my consult with Dr. Saya last week. The consult was extremely informative and Dr. Saya was patient and understanding. I was concerned that with the relatively high test numbers my symptoms would be dismissed as “all in my head,” but Dr. Saya had much more compassion than that. ` The first number that caught his attention was the high DHEA. Because of that, he wants to run some additional labs (IGF-1, DHT, prolactin, progesterone, and cortisol) to see if there may be some adrenal issues going on. I wondered about my SHBG numbers, which stayed in the low 50s even after the torem was out of my system, but Dr. Saya did not think there was much to be concerned about there. He recommended taking Vitamin D3 at 5000 iu/day and stinging nettle root to keep SHBG in check and potentially lower it a bit, which I am doing. ` In addition to the testing for adrenal function, he offered that we could try running clomid at 12.5mg/day for 6 weeks to see if it helps some with symptoms. Based on my response to toremifene (increasing total test by 300 ng/dL and free test 7.5 pg/mL with almost no noticeable effect on e2 and SHBG), he didn’t really see any downside. He made clear that he didn’t see it as absolutely necessary, but if I wanted we could try it while the other testing was being done. ` I opted in, and took my first 12.5mg dose of clomid on Monday. I’ll run that every day for 5 weeks, and on the sixth week will retest total and free testosterone, e2, and SHBG along with IGF-1, DHT, prolactin, progesterone, and cortisol. I’ll track my reaction to clomid here and post updated lab numbers in 6 weeks. ` Wish me luck! [/QUOTE]
