[QUOTE="Chris, post: 7185, member: 1040"] My GP made the decision to treat my thyroid based soley on TSH (as far as I know) and my endocrinologist only spoke to me about TSH when we meet, but, when I went in to get training to give myself shots I asked the nurse about T3 and she went and asked the doctor and reported back to me that he said he doesnt want to treat T3 until my T4 is up, so I assume he just wasn't talking to me about it. But as far as I know, The labs that I got immmediatly prior to starting Synthyroid and TRT (dated 2/17/14) were very limited OR the report they gave me was just a summary. It shows: Prolactin 5.33 PSAN <1 T total 117 Free T 4.4 Thyroglobulin <0.02 TPO Ab <0.02 TSH3UL 5.97 And that's it. But the lab the endo ordered (dated 4/4/14) that I got after being on Synthyroid (for 6 weeks) and TRT (for 4 weeks) seems to be very comprehinsive. It's 3 pages of numbers and codes that I can't desipher. The only thing I could tell from that set was my Total T was "up" to 249 mg/dl after being on AndroGel for 4 weeks. Just to be clear I started Depo-Test injections on 4/7/14. [/QUOTE]
