Guest guest Posted May 2, 2007 Report Share Posted May 2, 2007 I went to Dr. Becker last week and now I am whacky.... Here are my labs dhea 147 range 130-980 homocysteine 8.5 range less than 10.4 progesterone 1.0 optimal range according to dr becker 10-20 t4, free 1.0 range 0.8 - 1.8 testosterone 69 range 20-76 estradiol 13 - range post menopausal 27 t3, free 351 range 230-420 tsh 0.08 IGF-I 134 range 92-190 I am unable to take progesterone - she suggested pregnanalone and dhea... I am on 2.5 gr. armour plus 0.25 compounded t4. she upped the t4 to 0.5 mcg compounded t4.. ..along with that she wanted me to also increase my estradiol from .25 mg to .5 mg compounded estradiol. also to include 3 caps fish oil and take folic acid 1200-2000 mg per day as well as 2tbls flax meal. I feel like crap! anxious - pms symptoms, depression, and today I had a migraine. When I was on .5 mg estradiol before I had more headachees. Now I don't =know wht to do ...since I got the new prescription for estradiol it is in capsules and cannot be broken in half. i know my body only can take one small change at a time and I guess this is too much. I also can't go down on the t 4 because the increase is in a capsule as well and can't be broken in half.....I know I usually have trouble for a few weeks with thyroid increases, so I am not sure if this is coming from the estradiol or the t4 increase....I am too scared to try the other stuff, although I did take the fish oil and folic acid. Who are you guys in San seeing? Dr. Becker has a specialization in Anti Aging...I am sure she is probably pretty good with the normal stuff, but I have some challenging issues and she may not be up to snuff for this....But who is???
