Doctor Consult #2 was completed last night with a well-known hormone/steroid specialist in the US.
He also believed I was “predisposed” to high-SHBG; and that my “system” was working in overload trying to produce enough testosterone to satisfy the “hungry SHBG-monster” (my words). Other hormones out of balance were due to the stress on my system, he opined.
He suggested I do the ultra-sensitive E2 test just to lay-to-rest where my true E2 levels were, and felt I should boost my vitamin D supplements even higher than I am at now.
In the end, his solution was TRT at a high enough dose to overcome the SHBG.
Since I have been back on all supplements, I took another SHBG test today and will post the results when I receive them.
