your t3 is very low… maybe hypothyroid? what did your doc say

#3

Well, i’ve got this tests by myself. in 2009 my doc said the results were normal (thyroid), but there is an evidence that when i stop fin the results have changed. If you look i stop fin in November2009 anda at this time i was unware of fin can cause this things.

I will see a doc that 2 users of this forum, (also from Portugal) told me. I decided first get blood tests then show him the results.

Note that T4 is also out of the range. Like FHS LH DHT etc.

1349,

Your Free T3 & Free T4 are very low. Your IGF-1 is low; The thyroid gland regulates GH and IGF-1 production. Also, your LH is very low as well.

You can test your Reverse T3 or do a TRH stimulation test. This is considered the gold standard. (if you have access to one). They can be rather difficult to find a doctor that runs the test.

Here’s one study that proves that replacing T4 will increase IGF-1.

I think i can test reverse T3. I will try to do that.
Bostonusa2009 thanks for the info and great support.

#7

Your DHT is way low.

#8

Doesn’t seem to mean much anymore, everyone’s more worried about adiol-g these days, if that even points to anything.
Labrea also had very low dht and got significantly better.

#9

So, when Labrea got better, his DHT stayed low or increased?

#10

he isnt better. he is back.

#11

He’s significantly better across all areas than he was, only sub-optimal sexual function remains.
