[QUOTE="WrenchHead80, post: 102707, member: 17451"] FROM OTHER THREAD I thought I felt fine on 180mg a week but as I mentioned missing that dose opened my eyes to the fact I may be better off at a lower dose. Now that I have been on 150mg a week for a week Id have to say it confirms what I thought, I still feel better on the lower dose. I'll even go one step farther to help people like my old self that had the "more is better" idea. I actually feel like I have MORE energy and strength NOW on my lower dose. Like my body on 180mg had the feeling of being stuffed and I was forcing more food into it giving me a heavy feeling. On the lower dose that heavy I'm stuffed feeling is gone. The only complaint I do have is trying to use a AI. I go from no hard ons in the morning, less libido and night sweats to problems gone but then back and forth again as I take a AI for a week or two then have to not take it for a week or two cause I went to much I'm guessing. Can't find a happy medium. Also I don't remember the exact time frame of the AI taking events. I know for weeks 3 4 and 5 I took no AI pills. Then I took one .50mg pill week 6 and one .50mg pill week 7 which was the week before my test. That gave me a estradiol reading of 26.5 (7.6 to 42.6) this time. Which I know isn't the best test, still waiting on the sensitive test results. The week of the blood test I had bad night sweats so I took a .5mg pill after the blood test and again one .5mg pill on Thursday which made the nights sweats go away after a few days again and hard ons came back too. But this Monday I took a .5mg pill and now this Tuesday and Wednesday hard ons are gone again, libido dropped a little but I still don't have any night sweats at least. I do have .25mg pills now. But I'm going to try and take nothing now for a few days and see how I feel. This is another BIG reason I am glad I lowered my dose to 150mg a week cause I'm hoping I will not need to use a AI pill anymore cause its driving me nuts. The dr will be contacting me after the sensitive result comes in. I'll see what he says about everything and me telling him I want to take a lower 150mg of Test C a week dose instead. I am glad though I stuck with the 180 for 7weeks so I was able to confirm what my numbers would be at that level. I only wished I did take that shot Monday to get a more exact idea of what my body is doing at 180. But I'm assuming its safe to say it would have put me over the normal high natural level which I don't want to be in since this is a long term treatment. I know as others have said though you should go by how you feel not by the number. What do you recommend to raise my Thyroid T4? [/QUOTE]
