- Before it was in these ranges
CHOLESTEROL, TOTAL |0 - 4.59| 6.88 mmol/L |HIGH|
TRIGLYCERIDES |0 - 1.69| 2.24 mmol/L |HIGH|
HDL CHOLESTEROL |1 - 2.3| 0.9 mmol/L |LOW|
LAST month blood test was :
CHOLESTEROL, TOTAL |0 - 4.59| 5.53 mmol/L |HIGH|
TRIGLYCERIDES |0 - 1.69| 1.35 mmol/L |NORMAL|
HDL CHOLESTEROL |1 - 2.3| 1.14 mmol/L |NORMAL|
It has improved but i blame it on smoking and my sedentary lifestyle. I am working on it and hopefully in next test Total cholestrol would be in normal range as well.

Hey Swan - are you still doing good on the synthroid?
I’m going to be meeting with my doctor tomorrow about thyroid meds but I went back and looked at your labs.
How did you get your doctor to give you thyroid medication when your free T3 and fT4 were all normal and on the higher end?
Hi,
Yes i am still on synthroid and feels amazing. I dont remember exactly why he prescribed me and i didn’t knew much about test result numbers back then. But it worked great for me atleast. I hope you will find best treatment soon as well.
Awesome man.
I think I’m going to try the same approach as you. Quit trt, since there hasn’t been any noticeable benefit and try thyroid since I’ve had a few higher values.
Can you tell me if you had any issues/side effects after stopping TRT?
Also, could you post your bloodwork since being on synthroid? Preferably hemoglobin, hematocrit, iron, cortisol, shgb, testosterone, calcium, albumin, and thyroid levels?
Thank you!
If by chance you see this I have one quick question @swan9021.
When you tried thyroid with AI and TRT what dose did you try? I know you’re good now on only 75mcg of synthroid but I’m curious about thyroid doses you tried before.
Hi @seanmichael1990, its really a long time ago, i think i started with 100mcg as long as i remember. Btw i stopped taking synthroid long time ago now and feeling very good. I think there was some some temporary issue with my hormones due to stress level.
I didn’t used this forum for years now. I just get notification on my email so i just log in :-). I do my blood test regular and everything looks fine, i have one coming test this friday. I can share the result here if you want.
Have a lovely Evening
What made you get off if you felt better on it? Haha I wasn’t expecting that answer but that’s awesome.
Yes if you could post blood work that would be awesome for reference
