[QUOTE="munch520, post: 53712, member: 14384"] Thank you for the feedback, yes I agree the more I learn it seems that the HRT to address testosterone, in the face of the other results, is like trying to stop a leaky tire by continually pumping air into it (instead of patching the leak). This doctor helped me to uncover these issues and it seems he ran a pretty extensive panel and for that I am thankful. So the money hasn't been completely wasted, but yes I agree the monthly fee was odd. That and the TPO is what 'scares' me the most I suppose. I don't know if a pituitary can burn out, but it seems like it's working in overdrive trying to stimulate my thyroid. Which is still producing some hormone it looks like, but with that high of TSH, I would assume T3, T4, etc. should be higher. But TPO might explain that from what I understand...if my body is slowly destroying the thyroid, it's no wonder TSH is being pumped in to try and stimulate the thyroid...? Maybe...idk. Haha I'm still trying to grasp at understanding all this, but I look forward to seeing my GP today and discussing referrals to other specialists! [/QUOTE]
