[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 145021, member: 15832"] I would find another doctor, TSH >2.5 is indicating a problem. Your doctor didn't test the most important thyroid hormone Free T3. Free T3 is the only active thyroid hormone, Free T3 (not TSH or Free T4) speeds up every cell and increases metabolism, sometimes Reverse T3 can block Free T3 at the receptors negating good Free T3 levels and you would then see TSH elevated. There are a lot of thyroid doctors out there who are just not up to date on modern medicine and are practicing medicine the way it was taught decades ago in medical school, doctors that re-educate themselves staying ahead of the most recent medical studies will have the knowledge to help you. We see cases like yours all the time, the common denominator is a lack of proper testing and looking at Free T3, Reverse T3 and antibody testing. There are people out there walking around with high antibodies and their immune system is attacking the thyroid gland and are unaware because doctors are doing minimal testing. Your Free T4 is below range and should have forced your doctor to investigate, you need more extensive testing. TRT can't work well when there are thyroid problems. It would be helpful if you described your TRT protocol in detail.
