    as for the synthroid, I had half my thyroid removed years ago, and was doing fine until about 3 years ago, and my antibodies and tsh were through the roof, so I was put on synthroid, 50 mcg, and since last year upped to 75mcg,s
    I know maybe a dumb question, but which T is important for the Brain? total T or free T.

    I did go to a different Lab for the PSA than before when I was in range, but I dont get how the ranges can very so much from lab to lab, especially when they are all the same syndicate lab. but that probably because I'm not a scientist
    Unless you are documented as being high on SHBG, I would not mess with Winstrol. yes, it can mess up your lipids and it is also hard on the liver. I don't seem to have a problem with either at 5 mg, but I do monitor them closely. At 10 mg, I noticed an increase in liver enzymes to just slightly above range. At 15 mg, definitely above range.

    Now, coming off Winstrol, your SHBG will increase, and with your low Total T, your free T will drop. I looks to me like you are a good candidate for TRT.

    Since you have thyroid issues, I would focus on treating that to get those levels in range. I'm not a big fan of T4 only treatment, but that's up to you and your doc. I prefer to use Armour Thyroid, wich has a good balance of all 4 thyroid hormones.

    Thanks again Youthful...
    ya, I was just worried my SHBG might have been the culprit for low libido, I have learned a lesson about the winstrol. but with my lipids going askew, it seems like a fairly harsh compound.

    That does sound like a bad thing total T increasing and free T lowering, as most docs look at total T and say, "You're fine", I am on TRT, but the level of compitence of doctors treating people up here is pretty sad, you have to be recommended to a Endo, or Urologist by your doc, so if you dont have a legit reason, you wont get one.
    The endo I was sent to was archaic, and not sure if he cared to get enlightened on the protocols by those leading the way, he was in his 70s, so set in his ways i guess.

    that was another discussion I meant to have was about the armour thyroid, they seem to only be concerned if your TSH in range. the endo I was seeing did run freet3 freet4 and TSH.. probably why he said I graduated, which I thought was thr strangest thing... these problems as I know, dont go away.

    Thyroid Function
    TSH 3.56 0.32-5.04 mU/L
    T4 Free 13.7 10.6-19.7 pmol/L
    T3 Free 3.44 3.00-5.90 pmol/L

    Test results from last december.
