Some things I note from the labs:
-Test (total, free, bioA) are heading in the wrong direction…200 drop in free T???
-Estradiol had large increase, even though taking 0.7 mg/week Rx arimidex
-LH has been constantly high on 4 blood tests now…significant?
-Cortisol markers look terrible
-Iodine supplementation needs to be cut back on considerably
-I was taking liver tabs to try and increase ferritin, and that has no appreciable effect…
-Lipids are in the toilet
To say that I am growing discouraged would be a huge understatement…
