BEcause you have Hashimoto's you need to be on a significant amount of armour to drive your TSH down to zero, otherwise you will continue to destroy your thyroid (its what Hashimoto's does). SO you need to probably be on 2-3 grains of armour total and be at that dose for about a month and then...

I'd go with Dr. John LONG BEFORE I'd consider cenegenics. I don't doubt that SOME of their docs are great...but they have also been flooded with mediocre docs, at least as reported by people who have been dissapointed with their service. Dr. John knows his stuff, and will do ANY and all tests...

Isocort is **** for your values. Its far too short acting, and kind of worthless for many of us 'far along'. Im guessing that is your crux of the problem. If the thyroid just pools in the blood, you'll still feel depressed (not in cells) but also feel hyper and thus anxious as well. Get on...

You've done most of the tests, what are you taking? You def. need cortisol and possibly florinef as well. That and get the thyroid up and cranking. those two are huge as well as test. until those 3 are straigthened out for at least 3 months, id hold off on anything else unless you just need...

Try to get a script for 5000iu and go to ivpcare.com Good prices, great service. Not sure if ship to canada though. most of us are not covered with insurance on hcg.

Pregnelone cream and even (i think) hcg can lower DHT. Esp. preg. cream. WHy are you so concerned, DHT is not the bad guy. It can be hard on the hair, but there are things to deal with that. DHT as dr. john says, has to do with "all things male". look for preg cream. my dht was low so i...

You probably need some stronger adrenal support, like HC (cortef). Id also wonder why your thyroid hormones are only mid-range. At the level they are, Janz is right...stay far away from anti-depressents and docs who will prescribe. Lets fix things we know about that have causal relations to...

Not really. Most GP's will precribe anti-depressants as a first line treatment. If your feeling the 'blues' then try one of these. Even good GP's will do it because they simply want you to feel better, and since they cant think of anything else that might be obviously causing the problem...

You said t3 and t4 are within 'normal' range. First, are these FREE t3 and Free T4 values...if not, there pretty much worthless. IF they are, what are the values exactly....are they at the top of normal or just within normal range? Thyroid and psychological problems go hand in hand. Id look...

have you been on HCG the whole time? If not, you could be in for some big trouble and rough going. Why the synthroid rather than armour, what are your free t3 and free t4 on synthroid right now?

the treatment is not that much different anyways. Hypo just means your further along on the spectrum. My advice, drop ALL exercise for two weeks, add in some adaptogens, make sure your sleeping well (use unisom if necessary, no neg.'s here). Then, in two weeks re-evaluate. If still utterly...

you raise dht with t-gel...which is one reason dr. j prefers it. but if your thyroid is messed, it wont absorb. catch 22 eh?

some people need 100mg/day, or because (often) of skin or thyroid issues need to switch to a better brand gel or injectables. I know that the gel is 'more natural' than the shots, and dr. john prefers them. But its most likely that your thyroid is underactive and thus your not absorbing...

My question is why you think starting up TRT is an irreversable process? I am working with Dr. J. and the goal for my treatment is to use t-gel, HC, and thyroid as well as HCG in the hope that once we correct the real problems, we might start removing some of the meds. You see to rule this out...

Im not sure why others gave you such weird responses (and somewhat rude to be honest...where did that first one come from Janz?) but here is my take. First, methyl test is ****...for HRT I think it has no business as sole source of HRT. Im not too familiar with the Norditopin, but many people...
