I'm still feeling pretty awful. Still suffering from depersonalization/derealization, lack of motivation, low mood, and occasionally extreme anxiety as a result of finasteride/flouroqinolone poisoning 2 years ago. I'm considering TRT again, so I had to get new labs.
The only thing I have been taking consistently is Carlson vitamin D 4,000 IU 10 drops rubbed on the back of my leg, exactly as Danny Roddy does it. I have done this for 2 months, and my vitamin D has actually lowered from 32 to 18.2 ng/ml. I have no idea how this is possible. The rest of the relevant labs are as follows:
SGPT (ALT) - 60 IU/L (ref. 5-45)
LDL (Calc.) - 129 mg/dl (ref. <100)
LDL, Direct - 160mg/dl (ref. <100)
TSH - 0.507 uIU/ml (ref. 0.340-5.600)
Free T4 - 1.4 ng/dl (ref. 0.8-1.9)
PTH - 19 pg/ml
FSH - 3.4 mIU/ml
LH - 6.0 miU/ml
Estradiol - 26.5 pg/ml
Prolactin - 9.3 (down from 13 in January)
Testosterone, total - 283 ng/dl (ref. 240-950)
Testosterone, free - 24.0 pg/ml (ref. 10.0-50.0)
A few months ago, I wouldn't have considered TRT and I would have just tried to use thyroid to fix everything. Maybe I could try to get the vitamin D up and give thyroid a shot again, but my TSH is already pretty low, and I'm just tired of messing with it. These labs are after I used testosterone for 2 months from January to March, so I expected my LH and estrogen to be higher, especially considering the extreme mood swings I've been having since then.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Edit: Just to clarify, these labs were done last week, not immediately after I stopped the testosterone 2 months ago.
