Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 Your estrogen and testosterone are both low. Your free T3 needs to come up a tad as your free T4 too, but maybe only another half a grain. You have a problem whit RT3 it is too high for where your free T3 is, your ratio is 18.24 so it might be fine if you can raise the Armour a tad more. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ http://www.seewell4less.com/Valspage.htm Medical Alert Bracelets Quote
Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 Okay so now how do I bring up the estrogen (is this the DHEA?) & testosterone? I'm afraid to raise the Armour because every time I do, I go hyper. My temps are still averaging 97.7 / 97.8. I've thought about my hair falling out again this past week, I think it is because I got a new tattoo last Wednesday. I think I probably should have stressed dosed the HC before I went.

Guest guest Posted January 19, 2008 Report Posted January 19, 2008 I think it is best to replace what is missing not a precursor so you wold need estrogen adn testosterone. I have no sources for T but we do have sources fo restrogen, several kinds of ti. -- Artistic Grooming- Hurricane WV http://www.stopthethyroidmadness.com/ http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/NaturalThyroidHormonesADRENALS/ Quote
Guest guest Posted January 20, 2008 Report Posted January 20, 2008 I see, can you send me an updated list (or whoever does this now), I would appreciate it. I'm suppose to go over the results with the Dr so if I can sound intellegent enough maybe he will help me out here and prescribe something. I'm guessing that the estrogen is DHEA? I see on my labs that this is very low and I didn't see " estrogen " listed anyplace. Also I was thinking, I'm wondering if my Free's were a bit low because it had been over 17 hours from my last dose of Armour the night before, until my Dr's appointment the next day? Would that make a difference? I'm going to keep my HC dosing where it is for now ( 10 / 7.5 / 5 / 2.5). I dose my Armour 1 grain / 1/2 grain / 1/2 grain. If I try and raise another 1 /2 grain, where should I add that to? Sorry my post is so long, Sunday morning, I'm awake and on a roll LOL Dana G > > I think it is best to replace what is missing not a precursor so you > wold need estrogen adn testosterone.

DHEA is a precursor but bets to replace estrogen directly when it is low. It may be listed as estradiol on testing. SAeveral options for replacment are available. I use Premarin, but many prefer bioidentical estrogen and a good brand is Oestrogel which is estradiol 17b >>Also I was thinking, I'm wondering if my Free's were a bit low because it had been over 17 hours from my last dose of Armour the night before, until my Dr's appointment the next day?

What shows is a steady serum state of the hormnes whihc is what oyu need to knwo. If it is low, you need more thyroid. >>I'm going to keep my HC dosing where it is for now ( 10 / 7.5 / 5 / 2.5).
