Hey guys, I have been researching doctor Peat's articles and this forum for the past year, and I took the plunge and ordered some blood work. I am a 21 year old male, and I also am under HRT at a clinic where I am prescribed Test, HCG, and anastrozole. These are the results:
TSH: 2.290 uIU/mL Lab Range: 0.450 - 4.500
Free T4: 1.28 ng/dL Lab Range: 0.82 - 1.77
T3 Free: 3.5 pg/mL Lab Range: 2.0 - 4.4
Reverse T3 Serum: 21.6 ng/dL Lab Range: 9.2 - 24.1
DHEA - Sulfate: 209 ug/dL Lab Range: 164.3 - 530.5
IGF-1: 324 ng/mL Lab Range: 116 - 410
Total Testosterone: 431 ng/dL : Lab Range: 264 - 916 (I was on clomid during these results but have now switched to Test HCG and Anastrozole, so my Test is probably higher now).
Dihydrotestosterone: 31 ng/dL Lab Range: 31 - 85
SHBG: 15.6 nmol/L Lab Range: 16.5 - 55.9
After seeing these lab results I noticed that my reverse T3 is on the higher end of the range. So i started supplementing 30 mg of pregnenolone a day, and eating more fructose to increase glycogen stores. This got rid of the adrenaline and mood swings, but I am still very fatigued to the point where I cannot leave the house and I am having a hard time completing schoolwork. My skin is pale and dry, and my hair is frizzy dry also. My face is also puffy and round. I ordered 100 tabs of Bitiron (50 mcg T4 + 12.5 mcg T3 per tab), and I ordered Tiromel (25 mcg T3 per tab). I am wondering on the dosing i should use to lower my reverse T3, so I can look and feel healthy again and get back on track to feel like a normal 21 year old. Thank you guys in advance :)
