[QUOTE="forrest_and_trees, post: 31480, member: 12788"] Found something interesting in my research and was wondering if anyone is familiar with elevated testosterone leading to Thyroid Binding Globulin [TBG] deficiency? …Sometimes referred to Thyroxine Binding Globulin. Sorry... I'm still new and can't link to sources yet... I've been on HRT for both Low T and Hypothyroidism for nearly 6 years now. Before HRT I weighed over 400 pounds. I've since lost over 200 lbs and had to continually lower my Test Cyp dosage, as my T levels have shot up above normal due to the weight loss, while simultaneously needing to increase my thyroid med dosage to maintain similar effect, even though my T3 and T4 are both above normal now. Could I have inadvertently re-created the same problem I've been trying to treat, but for different reasons? And once I get my T levels back down, will my TBG return to normal? [I sure hope so] I found an old thread that touches on this and was hoping to get some further discussion going specifically about TBG deficiency. If you're interested and want to read the old thread, search this site for, "does testosterone replacement therapy cause hypothyroidism" ...I'll post a link later when I'm allowed. [/QUOTE]
