    this blood work was hard to get I wrote down this myself from you guys on here after seeing my doctor under the notes and they just did it not questions ask getting more blood work is gonna be hard looking for a doctor as we speak

    The reason why thyroid wasn't suggested initially was because you was only trying to find out weather you could recover from long term TRT. You expressed concern about putting fat on so that's why T3 & T4 was then suggested. SHBG is what binds to circulating testosterone and stops it been used. So although your test level looks reasonable (considering how long it will was suppressed) your free t is on the lower side which suggests SHBG is elevated.

    Wow thank you marcus , so is there anything can do to raise test and thyroid naturally and any supplements you recommend ? my doctor says test is low get back on TRT ... maybe makes sense with this new doctor to get back on test higher dose as well ,

    how does my cholesterol look as well im guessing no comment means good

    I was gonna do a test booster but seems to be a waste , and right now my test seems ok like you mentioned but what about a couple months down the road..

    You could use vitamin D3 to lower SHBG and thus increase free test. Apart from that you could get some hmg and use that to further assist recovery. Test boosters are a waste and some will even cause shutdown. You need to show reference range for cholesterol to know for sure but it looks fine to me. You still didn't answer my question about egfr?

    It is the glomerular filtration rate, how your kidneys are functioning - you need to find the normal value, usually expressed as > x (whatever number - my labs use > 60). Your labs show the value of 85 so you need to know the range.
    egfr is "estimated glomerular filtration rate" which is how it is typically expressed. Make sense?
