Look I'm here to just share my journey and my dilemmas as I attempt to get better, or back too normal. This is the second time you have questioned me, or my postings. If you need a reminder, scroll thru your postings. Other than that KNOCK IT OFF

How's your Estrogen?
 
Initial consult with Dr C, but has been corresponding A LOT with me since then via email (although we haven't actually had an appt follow-up yet).

Hfbjr- your lab ran the wrong test...should be IGF-1, not IGFBP-1...actually much different. We can discuss during consult.
 
No thyroid meds, however I do have anxiety upon waking up, but not nearly as bad prior to trt.

Secondly, I'm always cold. Cold hands,feet.

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
