Sure but you take armour twice daily for consistent levels. Otherwise you will never find wellness. Half life is so short. Take in am and then 6-8 hours later. I tried 2 am and 1 grain pm and by the time I woke up I felt like hell. Took 2 and 2 and bam did the trick. Can’t imagine what 1 in morning would do. That would suck.
Otherwise good for you. Your doc sounds like he actually gives out the proper meds. Just get him to do it twice daily
Hi. I was using 1m insulin syringes before. Recently i bought 0.5ml insulin syringe and got little confuse about dosage. I am doing 30mg EOD, so will it be 15 mark on that syringe or 30? i tried to do 30 but it seems much more than what i was using. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
If your test vial is 200mg/ml strength it would be the 15, 30 would be 60mg.
perfect. Thank you
My dht levels came back so high. Is it something to worry about?

No, not really. It’s just a lab number and labs are goal posts and need to be moved in the presence of symptoms. Ache is a symptoms of high DHT, hair loss is another.
I can’t say with certainty since we’re all different… But I’m also taking armour thyroid and when I have my Dr appointments, he always asks about temperate tolerance.
I think it could be thyroid related, but 30mg is a low dose. What do your pre and post Armour lab numbers look like? Where are your FT3, FT4 and RT3 numbers?
Hi. Following are my results after 8 weeks of my protocol change from 30mg(EOD SUBQ). Currently i am taking 40mg EOD(SubQ) with Armour thyroid 30mg daily. Blood test is much better than before. My lipid profile has improved alot, PSA. DHEA & prostergone looks better than before. Testosterone level looks very good but the problem remains same with me, asi don’t feel any difference on TRT or without TRT. Instead i start losing some hairs on head and not getting any hairs on body or face. I stopped going to gym becasue everytime i workout my body gets so hot burning and pins feeling that i couldnt do it anymore. There is no change in sexual part. Now i am thinking even if i needed a TRT at all. My previous all blood tests areposted on the top of the page on my initial post I have appointment with my doctor tomorrow. Just wanna have your opinion guys. Thanks

You have healthy levels of testosterone that you did not have before. I will assume you also stopped taking the AI correct? If so, how long has that been? 8 weeks?
Looking at your Free T3, it’s really up there. Have you tried lowering your dose of Armor? I’m wondering if you’re taking too much. When I tried thyroid I was also taking too much and did not feel well at all.
I find the fact that your progesterone is going up as much as it is rather interesting. I don’t have an answer for that one.
Who is your doctor?
Are you on FB by any chance? Would be a good question for the docs in my group. At least you can rule out testosterone being the issue here.
Buy this today! You will feel like a new human being on day one. This is the exact one I use and it’s been a major game changer. It’s sublingual methylated B12 that you let dissolve under your tongue for a few minutes.

DHT level was quite high in my previous resuly and i expect it to be way more higher in this one. You are right about high progesterone & DHEA, i have no clue whats going on with my body. With these teststerone level i should be feeling optimal. Yes i am on FB, can you send me your group name? Thanks
I am already taking sublingual vitamin b12, but didnt feel any difference. Unfortunately that one they dont ship to Canada. Do you see anything suspicious in my recent blood test? @systemlord @hardartery
@swan9021
What b12 are you using?
@dextermorgan this one
How are your levels so low? Something doesn’t add up
i did take for 6 weeks but felt no difference at all. After that i never took it again.
Well now you have low B12
You are right, i will start taking it again. What do you think of high prostesgerone and DHEA levels? does it indicate anything?
You won’t notice anything for quite a while, probably not until you get your level over 600. I never tried to get shots up there, how hard is it to get a B12 shot as a booster to the supplements?
