That was more for you to compare though a side by side would be cool.

Hey @NH_Watts - do you see physiolojik as your endo? Do you like working with him?

1391

I do not. He was my coach for a little while but no one has heard from him in months.

1392

He still lurks every now and then. The only reason I can say that is because he ā€œlikedā€ one of my post earlier this month,

so I gather heā€™s still watching. I wish he would get active again thoughā€¦he had a lot to offer to this forum.

Would this be thorough enough testing to determine probable thyroid issues?:

My Dr ordered TSH, Total T3 and Total T4 and diagnosed my sub-clinical hypothyroid from the results.

I think what you have listed is probably pretty good. Some might say you need antibodies in there or might not need Total numbers, just Free numbers. I think @dextermorgan posted a list in a response somewhere.

After being on 90mg Armour Thyroid for about 7 months, I ordered this -

And these were the results. Iā€™ve since upped my dose to 150mg (2.5 grains) a day and am doing blood next week I think.

Here is a good thread on thyroid.

1396

Thank you.

The antibodies test helps diagnose when your immune system is attacking your thyroid (like Graves & Hashimotos).

Hereā€™s a complete thyroid panel:

Do you know if hashimotos is hereditary? One of my daughters has it.

1399

Yes it can be. My father has it and so did his father.

1400

My friendā€™s father has it and lately his thyroid started to act crazy.

1401

Do you?

1402

Not yet.

1403

At what point does your MD say, ā€œok time to get on ā€?

1404

For hashimotos? Iā€™m guessing when TGA & TPA start showing outside range and thyroid issues & symptoms present themselves. My dad didnā€™t test his until he was around 60. Thyroid is so damn complex it makes TRT feel like a kid could do it.

1405

My mother has hashimotoā€™s. I never had antibodies tested, but I am hypothyroid.

1406

@NH_Watts - When you order labs through Ulta, what are the specific test #'s you order for testosterone/E2 and SHBG? I see a few different ones and am not sure which is the best. I know @johann77 has mentioned certain tests/assays are more accurate than others. I just want to make sure Iā€™m ordering the ā€œcorrectā€ ones. @johann77, are you familiar with the tests that Ulta labs has to offer by any chance?

Thanks in advance!
