What kind of medications do you take? Meds can increase SHBG. I currently am fighting mine and will get some labs at the end of the month to see if cutting back on benzos and changing my BP medication had any effect. SHBG is made in the liver, so also if you have any liver disease, heavy drinker, this could be the case.

Hello Alphagunner

I dont take any medication, and I only had a couple of beers over the weekend and tried to raise testosterone naturally: heavy lifting, eating healthy fats, non-alcohol non-parabens, etc.
Always increasing total testosterone increases Shbg and low free testosterone and always below the ratio 1.5% of bioavailable testosterone.
You are in TRT?
What does your doctor think? Thank you.

Please post more of your lab results, not just the above.
Your posted labs are almost impossible to read, please fix or type in the results and ranges.

Thyroid labs are odd.

Body temperatures are low because fT3 is low and/or rT3 is elevated and interfering with fT3 at T3 receptors.

Are those temperatures early morning and mid-afternoon?

fT3 should be tested if available there.

Your TSH does not make sense given everything else, unless there are some thyroid nodules that are making T4 independent of TSH regulation and that is part of what hyperthyroidism is and there can be a progression over time from hypo to hyper and you might be part way there. All of that can start from long term iodine deficiency.

So where are you located. That affects how iodine is made available. Iodized salt is always good, but that must be on your table and in your cooking. Iodine in dairy or bread can run into problems with dietary restrictions or preferences.

Total T3 is low, so we can expect fT3 [untested] to be low. fT4=1.4 above mid-range so fT4–>fT3 is probably poor. Low ferritin can do that and then that would require low iron which is rare for males unless there is a blood loss which can be a bleed in the guts and there is a test for that, you cannot see it.

Explain your history of using iodized salt or what other iodine sources that you have.

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

Hello again.

Did he ask me if there is some effective way of lowering the SHBG??? Or the is only option the TRT or rather someone to obtained to reduce his SHBG shot without TRT and as??

Thank you

How long have you been using deflazacort?
Why are you using deflazacort?

Your insulin sensitivity, HBA1C and glucose are excellent.

Cholesterol is getting too low, try to change diet to get near total cholesterol=180.
You can increase fats in your diet.

FT is only half of upper range 178. SHBG is reducing FT by creating more non-bioavailable SHBG+T that increases TT and then TT exaggerates your T status.

AST and ALT are good, not showing any liver problems.

It is not possible to change SHBG directly.

Thank you
Deflazacort x3meses my Auroch said to improve the libido and sexual power.
It took 1000kcal of fats in my diet of 3000kcal 33 % it suggests to raise more hundred of fat or to include fats trans.

He excuses kassman but my I understand that my e2 (17 thread estradiol) is of 21,8 and you suggest anastrozol to leave it in 22.
It is sure that I do not understand anything.

Thank you x all that clarifies us

11

The top of the first lab result picture Estradiol then 84.5pg/ml
Then later shows 21.8

That is the the confusion. What was ???=84.5

I have corrected my above posts.

Deflazacort 3 times per day?
How many mg’s?
Describe how this drug affects your mind and energy?

12

Hello
I Took 1 tablet de6mg deflazacort a day and I do not notice side effects of any type.
Would Ksman if my liver seems that this good and I have such a high SHBG which diminishes my FT at the time the only way of raising the FT and of recovering my libido etc be THE TRT truth?
Thank you.

13

You can try Boron to lower SHBG. 9-12 mg a day. I only felt a slight increase at first but then it diminishes.

14

Thank you Alphagunner.
For what I could have read a golden standard does not exist to treat the high SHBG and his consequences.

That says his Doc on the use of the TRT?, mine lamentably only thinks about broth of chicken and deflazacort that it does not serve for anything

I am starting losing hope … even to think the autoinjection.

Regards

Hi, guys. I bring back a summary of the last 4 analytics to know your opinion about Alta SHBG as a main symptom the loss of libido. Would recommend Trt? What do you think of the Proviron? Thank you!
I refer to laboratory ranges

deflazacort is dangerous and your doctor seems foolish. You did not specifiy dose. When do you stop? Do you know that it is dangerous to stop suddenly? You need to reduce dose slowly.

Did you have low cortisol?
Please post lab result and range.
Also need time of day for lab work.

Hematocrit is very low and we expect some of that with low T. Something else may be going on. Could be a slow blood loss from your intestines etc. You can get a test that detects small amounts of blood in your shit. This is not something that you can see with your eyes.

I see that you had fT3=3.6 and T3=0.9 which is low.
With fT3=3.6 [cannot see lab range] your body temperatures should be good. With lower body temperatures we suspect that rT3, reverse T3, is blocking some T3 receptors. This can be a result of stress. See the thyroid sticky. If cortisol was low, that is sign of advanced stress problems and adrenal fatigue.

KSman is simply a regular member on this site. Nothing more other than highly active.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re Thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab numbers and ranges.

The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.

Thanks for your quickness Ksman and stop taking Deflazacort the analysis was made first thing in the day the last treatment I just finished was with 25mg of T3 Cynomel because they indicated low levels of this hormone. Temperatures are not high 36.4 degrees Celsius x the afternoon and 36 in the morning. Next week I’ll meet my endo to discuss TRT. My E2 level = 16.4 pg/ml range 7.6-42,6 PGML. What do you think of Proviron? Do you think I need TRT? Thank you

19

Yes TRT would be good for you with your thyroid medications.
Do read the thyroid sticky.
You can use oral body temperatures as a dosing guide.
If T3 use decreases a rT3 elevation, T3 dose might need reduction some day.
T3 should be taken in the morning to not interfere with sleep.

What can you do there?

  • Self injected T?
  • Arimidex/anastrozole
  • hCG

You need to start reading then try to find a doctor who will work with you. That can be the most difficult part.

I’ll inform you of my appointment with my endo. Best regards
