My interesting LAB RESULTS just came in

[Guest guest]

Just talked to my NP's assistant.

TSH: .01

Free T3: 376 (high end of range is 420)

Free T4: 1.0 (where I always am)

NOTE that free T3 of 376. I had NOT taken my second dose of Armour

the previous day by accident, and had NOT taken Armour the morning

of these labs. This is an example of where your free T3 SHOULD BE at

the minimum when you are on an optimal dose. This is also probably

why I feel fine in the morning, and can go until late morning

without taking my first dose of 2 grains Armour....

My labs showed me to be extremely estrogen dominant. I was at the

top of the range, plus my progesterone was BELOW range. PERHAPS this

explains why I have been having problems since my last Dec. 2nd

period, and why I need to continue my new dosing of progesterone

cream--32 mg. twice a day. Fingers crossed.

My free testosterone was lowish: 2.7 (1.0 - 8.5). My TOTAL

Testosterone was BELOW range: 28 (50 - 70). hmmm. She wants me to

continue my latest raise of my testosterone--I am now doing 1 1/4

mgs in a compounded gel. There may be more about testosterone to our

total well-being that we know.

My Ferritin was 88!!!!!!!! MAJOR HOORAY!!!!!!! YIPPPEE!!! Jumping

up and down. That is wonderful for me!! I take ONE 325 mgs. tablet

of Ferrous Sulfate daily to maintain that!

My DHEA was 93 (39 - 183). I take 5 mgs DHEA in a compounded gel

with the testosterone at night.

I'm on the right course with meds as far as the above. Maybe, maybe

the progesterone supplementation will help my current miseries.
