Don’t have an explanation.
Please follow these links in 2nd post of 1st forum topic:
Please check overall thyroid function by checking oral body temps as suggested in the thyroid basics explained link.

You can only get so far with a urologist. Endocrinologists are unfortunately often no better.
thank you KSman for taking the time to review my thread.
at the moment i dont have these labs but ill ask the doctor next time i see him.
is there any medical condition you know of that cause such a spike in t levels?
Maybe the question is what made it lower and is not doing that now?
What drugs/meds Rx or OTC were you using in this time frame?
i was perscribed augmentin for sinusitis. asked the doctor said it would not effect the results.
started taking it 1 day before the first blood test.
ended 2 days before last blood test
Augmentin can injure the liver in some cases. But could there be a low level effect that affects liver clearance of estrogens? Some things will never be known.
Sinusitis: Your immune system can be affected by thyroid status and Vit-D3 status, among other nutrients.
