[QUOTE="T4 Life, post: 16126, member: 1798"] Chris, Thank you for your response. I guess I was placing to much emphasis on my RDW which has been steadily rising from 13.4 in 2010 to 17.1 in 2015 can this have any effect on they way my body is responding to TRT? from what I read it is not normal to have a variation of large and small red blood cells. (Anisocytosis) A possibility is that if the RDW level is increased and the MCV level is normal this can be caused by the beginning stages of a decrease in vitamin B-12 or folic acid in the body it can also be caused by the beginning stages of iron deficiency anemia. So I thought I was on the right track. What is your opinion besides the testing your already recommended should I ask for testing for Vit B-12 and folic acid (B-9) as well and go from there? By the way what level of Thyroid hormones should I be aiming for? rignt now my TSH is 6.60 and Free T4 is at 0.9 [/QUOTE]
