[QUOTE="FLmale, post: 129415, member: 14280"] MY ORIGINAL POST FROM 10-28-18 Have been on TRT and HCG for a couple years and still don't feel all that great. Symptoms include foggy, cold, dragging around 3pm with ability to nap at the drop of a hat oh and sweat profusely in heat or working out. In mid March my TSH result was 3.010 uIU/mL on range of 0.450-4.500. DHEA was 76.1 ug/dL on range of 71.6-375.4 and SHGB was 63.1 nmol/L on range of 19.3-76.4. No T3/T4 done at that time. My most recent test this month came back TSH result was 4.320 uIU/mL on range of 0.450-4.500 with T4 Free 1.14 ng/dL on .82-1.77 range - T3 Free 2.8 pg/mL on 2.0-4.4. (Started taking 15mg DHEA 1x day and DHEA was 268.6 ug/dL on range of 71.6-375.4 and SHGB was not taken but is normally in 63-65 nmol/L on range of 19.3-76.4. [B]EDIT TO ADD:[/B] Looking back on October 2018 labs, my Ferritin was 51ng/mL on the range of 30-400 (10-31-18) I should mention that I'm in my early 50's; about 16% body fat, exercise 6x week and only have 1 Kidney. I eat very clean and limit protein to ~100grams per day to keep the Kidney happy. I do eat a lot of crucifirous vegies, primarily Cabbage and Brussels. My doctor wants me to start taking 1 Grain of Armor 1x day and see how I feel. Is there anything else I should consider doing prior to starting the Armor to get a better un-medicated Thyroid baseline? ----------- 11-19-18 TEST RESULTS: Collect Date & Time Date of Service 11/12/2018 8:22 am 11/12/2018 12:00 am FINAL Notes Fasting - Yes Diagnostic Test / Results Results Out of Range Flag Units Range Site Stat Iron and TIBC [Final] Iron Bind.Cap.(TIBC) 324 ug/dL 250-450 01 UIBC 267 ug/dL 111-343 01 Iron 57 ug/dL 38-169 01 Iron Saturation 18 % 15-55 01 Thyroxine (T4) Free, Direct, S [Final] T4,Free(Direct) 1.02 ng/dL 0.82-1.77 01 TSH [Final] TSH 3.220 uIU/mL 0.450-4.500 01 Reverse T3, Serum [Final] Reverse T3, Serum 15.6 ng/dL 9.2-24.1 02 Thyroglobulin Antibody [Final] Thyroglobulin Antibody <1.0 IU/mL 0.0-0.9 01 Notes Thyroglobulin Antibody measured by Beckman Coulter Methodology Ferritin, Serum [Final] Ferritin, Serum 45 ng/mL 30-400 01 Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Ab [Final] Thyroid Peroxidase (TPO) Ab 18 IU/mL 0-34 01 Triiodothyronine (T3), Free [Final] Triiodothyronine (T3), Free 2.8 pg/mL 2.0-4.4 01 [/QUOTE]
