Check out these labs

[Guest guest]

I have an appt to see my local doc today so I called to get the labs

that I just had done on Tuesday. Aldosterone and renin aren't back

yet, but check out these labs. On paper I seem to be headed in the

right direction. I wish that the it was reflected in the way I felt.

Local doc thinks that I'm obsessing over this too hard and that I

need to increase my Klonopin, at least a little, to help with sleep

b/c lack of it is probably playing a huge role in how I feel day in

and day out. Can't disagree with that. I gave him my copy of

Peatfield's book to read. Still hoping to convert him to a believer on

adrenal fatigue.

TSH 3rd gen - 1.09 (.4 - 4.5)

T4-Free - 1.1 (.8 - 1.8)

T3-Free - 349 (230-420)

DHEA Sulfate - 52 (45-345)

Testosterone, total - 611 (241-827)

Estradiol - 15 (13-54)

Progesterone .5 (< 1.4)

Albumin 5.2 H (3.6-5.1)

Compare that to labs from just a month ago (same lab so same ranges)

TSH 3rd gen - 2.82

T4-Free - 1.0

T3-Free - 302

DHEA sulfate - 49

Testosterone - 660 (with a different range though <250-1100>

Estradiol - 21

Progesterone - .5

Albumin - 4.5

None. You've told me to get on some DHEA every time I've posted labs

- at least 5 times LOL. I have tried it twice - once on a whack-job

doc's prescription of 25mg/day which made me want to kill my wife, and

then I tried it on my own, 5mg, 2x/day early in the day but got taken

off of it by my Top Doc in MI when I complained of GI trouble and he

took me off of a bunch of stuff. Barb just suggested yesterday that I

add in 5mg once/day in the AM yesterday and I was thinking about doing

it. Labs are great - when do I start feeling better dammit
