[QUOTE="WrenchHead80, post: 109056, member: 17451"] Forgot to update: Had my Defy consolation last week. Really glad I switched to them. Very friendly and well informed people. As far as my trt protocol, he said I can leave it how it is. I was tempted to ask about going to everyday shots since I'm low shbg but felt knowing I was going to start a thryroid treatment plan I shouldn't change more then one thing at a time. Also read the T3 in the ndt may raise my shbg? So maybe after getting dialed in on the thyroid med I may come to find I'm no longer a low shbg guy anymore? As far as the thyroid goes, he wanted me to start at 30mg(half grain) of Armour. I mentioned hearing people on hear complaining about quality control lately and pricing. So I got desiccated thyroid capsules instead and saved a lot of money. Where going to run labs again in 4 weeks. I mentioned I wanted to be on the safe side and take it slow since I used to suffer from anxiety and heard too much or too fast can cause "hyper" issues. Also concerned if my iron levels bounced back in enough time. I'm thinking that's why i'm starting at half and not full grain. Mentioned reading a lot from you guys and STTM and mentioned hearing the dose may have to be raised more after 2 weeks if symptoms appear worse. He seemed fine with that if needed. I've read you do your starting dose for two weeks then raise by half grain every two weeks as needed but stop at 2 grains and get blood test done at that level before raising more. So I'll see how I feel these next coming days and if I think a raise is needed I will run it by Defy with a call first. I will mention the first day I started I became really tired. Today is my second day and still feel tired but no where near as bad as yesterday. He was also fine with me taking the three supplements I mentioned above. Taking only one selenium pill a day (200mcg). Which in all my reading seems to be the normal dose given. Will also mention a interesting find I made after my consultation and waiting for my meds to come. I read about how your temperature can be used as a gauge if you suffer from hypo or hyper thyroid problem and it can help determine if more or less NDT is needed. Thought that was cool and decided to start taking my temp in the morning and afternoon. To my surprise and guess relief cause at least it confirms my problem, my morning temp was high 96 or low 97 waking up brrrrrrrr. Late afternoon it would go up to around 97.5 to 98.20 . This is all pre thyroid meds. This morning I was already warmer waking up at 97.5 . I will definitely inform Defy of this info. I am worried I may have a adrenal problem based on test 4 here... [url]https://stopthethyroidmadness.com/adrenal-info/[/url] I do pass Test 1 2 and 3. Now I understand why Chris said get a 24 hr saliva test done. Should I worry the NDT won't work or as good as it should?[B][/B] [/QUOTE]
