[QUOTE="stlstudent, post: 42948, member: 12108"] Thanks for the reply. When I talked with Nelson, he said the very same things about my Thyroid so I spoke with my PCP about it and how the the reference ranges are not that great an indicator. I printed out the research that Nelson posted on here but he was not swayed and said I would need to talk to an endocrinologist. That is one of the reasons I am checking in with Defy to see what they think and if they can help. You mention that it is in 'overdrive' so wouldn't that be HYPERthyroidism although I seem to show more signs of HYPOthyroidism? I try to be religious on the labs I use and times when i test, etc... but it is not always possible. When I use discountedlabs.com they use Labcorp but if I do any others through my doctor, clinic and defy I have to use Quest because my insurance covers them at 100 percent. Agree on the SHBG, I always feel great the first couple days but by the end of the week i seem to feel at the lowest mentally/physically. The clinic I use does not want to have me doing it more than once a week (another reason I'm looking at Defy). But on a side note, wouldn't low SHBG be ideal? More of the T gets in and gets to work where others with higher SHBG get their T all bound up and its basically 'wasted' because it cannot get free? Thanks again for starting the conversation!
