New member. Baseline lab work and suggested protocol.

[Darville]

Attached is my baseline lab. The Dr is starting me out on 108mg a week (.3 twice a week) of "Test Cyp\Prop-180\20" and T3\T4 "Liothyronine\Levothyroxine 11.25mcg\47.5mcg" once a day in the morning. My T3\T4 numbers were not out of range. Thoughts on protocol?

TRT will correct the glucose and lipids, which exception to LDL as most men on TRT run a little below normal.

I'm curious as to why your doctor thinks you need thyroid treatment with a TSH at 1.8 and fT3 at 3.0. If you had a thyroid problem the TSH would be elevated.

Maybe this is normal for you. There's certainly no harm in trying thyroid treatment.

" There's certainly no harm in trying thyroid treatment."

That was a concern. If there's no harm, I'm willing to try.

I tried thyroid treatment, T3/T4 combo and after my second dose started experiencing hyperthyroid symptoms, shakiness, like I drank too much coffee and was able to stop and return to baseline within days.
