Wifes' Blood work. Help and recommendations please!

[Babyslim]

My wife has had health problems her whole life and has really struggled the past 4 years especially. She has fibromyalgia, some type of auto-immune disorder, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis(just diagnosed from last blood work) major depression and hypothyroidism. A few months ago she did the HCG diet. She lost 30lbs and felt GREAT. She was even able to go off all of her meds except for her synthyroid. When she stopped the HCG she felt worse than ever. Since we got married shes had symptoms of low E.

Now that I've learned more about HRT and symptoms, I STRONGLY suspected a hormone problem. Took here to an endo and got blood work done.
She is 35yo. 197lbs. 5'4''(put on 80lbs in 4 months when her thyroid went). Was starting her period when blood was taken.

She was deficient in iron and vitamin D.

I have some more blood work if needed, just ask. The only complaints the doctor had with her blood work was: Cholesterol, Iron, Vitamin D, C-reactive, and prolactin. they are okay with her E2 and test(I am not).

Current Medications:

Clonozapam (Klonopin) 1mg; morning/night
Levothyroxin (Synthyroid) 100mcg; morning
Cymbalta 90mg; morning
Gabapentin (Neuroton) 300mg; morning/night
Lurasidone (Latuda) 80 mg; before bed
Probiotics; twice daily
Tizanidine; 4mg
Multiple vitamin; once daily
B complex vitamin
MAF=metabolic activating factor vitamin
Trazodone (Desyrel) 100 mg; nightly

As Needed Medications:
Acetaminiphen 500-650mg; every four hours
Naproxin 220mg; morning/night
Oxycod/pap (Percocet) 325mg; 1 to 2 every 6 hours
Boric Acid 600mg; 1 capsule, vaginally; night

We have an MRI scheduled for this week to check pituitary. Depending on how that checks out, it seems that she would benefit greatly from HRT. Any help?! I'm new to male TRT, and now I need to learn female! I'm not ready and need help to get her the best treatment possible.

Just to add. Even with her current meds she:
Is in near constant pain.
NO libido.
Extremely poor mood and sense of well being.
Severe fatigue.
Struggles to lose weight.
No energy.
Monthly UTIs or yeast infections.
Periods are terrible.
Has not been able to work for 3.5 years.

Thyroid is still pretty bad. That could be the cause of fatigue. Her T3 is bottom of range and TSH is high. Maybe switch to something like Armour that has both T3/T4 in it but I would assume her doctor would say something by looking at her results..

[Babyslim]

Doctor reviewed and said: " If you are currently on medication for thyroid condition, you should continue at your current dose. You have Hashimotos thyroiditis which is an autoimmune thyroid disease."

subscribed and wishing her and yourself the best

what has the endo said about her symptoms and/or blood results?

[SEOINAGE]

Just from looking at that it appears her E is low but there is no range. Progesterone is low end. You don't want to have E or P too high or out of balance, but my guess is she needs some help there. finally I would say her testosterone levels are unacceptable. I dont see a number just that it is under 20?

Thyroid numbers still look bad. Synthroid sucks imo. T4 and T3 are both really on the low end of the range.

I think if you got a lot of these issues fixed it would start to get her on the right path, but i am definitely not an expert, especially on women. But this is my opinion of the blood work posted. I think you definitely can explore this further.

Doctor reviewed and said: " If you are currently on medication for thyroid condition, you should continue at your current dose. You have Hashimotos thyroiditis which is an autoimmune thyroid disease."

Kind of sad that is all the doctor had to say, imo a competent doctor at minimum would want to get that thyroid working better. But you will need to find a doctor that is capable of hrt, and not just that, one that really knows what they are doing imo.

I have hashimotos as well, and my doctor is trying to do some interesting stuff to find the source of it and see if we can't get closer to the cause. If I remember I will let you know if it works, some more blood work friday, I would think it would be another avenue to search if they aren't just trying to get more money from me, so i will let you know, but might take a few months.
