My biggest concern is my Thyroid at the moment. It has been inflamed since the 1st of July now.
Its extremely uncomfortable and sore to touch. I have not been given any treatment for this since my bloodwork. My current protocol is 250Iu’s HCG 2x/wk and 50mg Test cyp 2x/wk since the 1st of July and just added 5mg of Cortef 2x/day. My blood was drawn on 8-7-10 the morning after my Test shot. I would like to see my Test levels up to the 800-900 range but right now I’m really concerned about my Thyroid. What would be good to talk to my current Dr. about to help relieve the swelling? I know my levels show in the normal range but something is wrong. Ive read alot about Armour Thyroid and maybe this would help. Im scheduled to see an endo about my Insulin levels towards the end of September.

Also does anybody out there break their test dosage into more than 2 shots/wk and do you feel more leveled out by doing so.

Do you gave unresolved general thyroid symptoms?

I do not understand why you have not taken action to get your thyroid gland inflammation checked out. What are you waiting for? Chronic inflammation can have widespread and serious effects throughout your body.

Some are injecting E3D and EOD. This does smooth out T levels. Some feel better with that. More to the point, if T levels are not steady, anastrozole will not work as well.

Improve insulin resistance issue with fish oil, 4000-6000iu vit-D3, acetyl-l-carnitine, lipoic acid, anti-oxidants, chromium piconolate and a good potency vitamin product with lots of B-vits.

One must support the adrenals before taking thyroid which needs to be priority. With low adrenals and armour given it will cause your adrenals to stress even more. Many dr start you on cortef low dosages then will add in NT a few weeks after at low dosages and gradually build up over time. Its a slow process and needs to be gradually or it can cause a world of trouble. I have been through it personally and it made me not be able to get out of bed because adrenals were not supported.
