[QUOTE="WrenchHead80, post: 129545, member: 17451"] My first follow up labs on NDT are on the first page of this thread post #6. My RT3 has gone up, didn't think that was considered a good spot? I thought my iron was in better shape especially my ferritin levels? Also my TSH has gone higher then it has ever been which isn't a good sign. I have never tried synthetics. I was taking 1 grain a day of NDT. I had my TRT follow up with the same PA I've used before with Defy and informed him I was instructed to come off the NDT. The PA wasn't happy about the lady on the phone saying cortisol is only tested for energy. He wanted to know names but I told him I didn't remember. Was nice to know he wanted to make sure people on his end are giving out only the right information. He felt I should go back on my NDT treatment because he noticed my elevated TSH number now. He also saw my TPO number flared up. I explained to him I stopped taking the selenium because of the test results and maybe that was the reason. He felt 200 instead of the 400 i was taking would be fine. So I started taking 200 a day again. *On a side note. I found out the reason why my two attempts of getting my selenium retested failed. The lab tech needed special equipment and vials to do it. So I asked does that mean the results I got back showing I was high three test ago are not accurate. She said I would have to ask my dr. (which I took it as you don't want to admit you did the test wrong). So their is a possibility my selenium level was never too high on 400 a day. I still never received the newest results back yet which will hopefully show what my natural level is. Not sure if I want to restart the same protocol of 1 grain a day. He does feel it helped me. He is fine with me getting my cortisol tested and having a mini follow up to talk about those results and prescribing me the cortisol if I need it. Told him I'll need to think about it, which he was fine with. I'm thinking I should get my cortisol numbers checked before I do anything. Since it seems to be the only missing info no one has to get a full picture of my case. [/QUOTE]
