Feedback on my blood work please

Take a look and give me any ideas you have for me.


I'll just list the ones that were high or low:

Cholesterol, Total..........245.................<150
HDL............................16.5................>40
LDL.............................209.30.............<100

ALT............................94...................<42
AST............................58...................<39

T3.............................67.76................80-200

IGF-1.........................77.7..................94-252



after I got these results I dropped the paper primo and ordered some injectable

diet is spot on and the only added fats are omega-3's, 3 tbs flax seed daily and 3Tbs olive oil. Only other fat is from chicken breast. so I'm under 50 grams a day & getting plenty of good fats.

I don't drink alcohol

Doc put me on 50mg t3

Yeah, I attached the results but they were too tiny so i pulled them down & typed it in. That's why they were missing for a few minuted

paper primo for the last month, no winny
so you are saying that the liver values are ok?


as far as the cholesterol levels I bet that will go down as I continue eating cleaner. I went thru emotional hell after hurricane Wilma & ate shit for a year. Only been real tight on the diet a few months.

any suggestions?

Thanks, now I know what HIGH really is

I dont know enough to coment myself but I'll run your results past my wop. She cycles and is also an advanced level nurse ( i can never remember her exact acrinim). she is spending in a lot of time refamiliarizing herself with blood and liver panels right now cause of something she's going thru so i'll show her your numbers and see what she says.

(she was taking cytomel w/ her clen and over did it. kicked herself into hyper thyroid)

Thanks Legs

I never took cytomel or clen before, so it's not from abuse of them.

Can you elaborate any on what she is going through? I would be very interested!

Sure, i know she wouldnt mind we both had incidents actually. i started trying to lean down with clen and cytomel. had taken clen before and worked great. I started getting headaches thisw time round though but thought it was work stress. then it got so bad one night i couldnt sleep and the next day i had what i thought was a migrane (never had one before) so bad that if i got out of bed i felt drunk and walked into a few walls. cleard up after a lot of food and rest. that was early march.
Fast forward to maybe 3 weeks ago. she was so fatigued at work and in general she had one of the docs run blood work. she'd gotten sick a few times with headaches, but she'd just been promoted to head of the Emergency med department so she figured it was stress from work combined with training. WRONG. Hyper thyroid, which is the reversable kind. Hypo throid is when you're up shit creek. she couldnt tell them she's on gear and that she's taking the cytomel, but one of the docs mentioned taking thyroid meds (or too much of them) could cause it. She dropped all thermos then and there, has been getting panels done and was FINALLY feeling herself again this past monday. still things going on with thyroid but docs are watching and she's returning to normal. when she got her panels back she called me and told me my "migrane" was probably anything but. Neither of us will touch the cytomel EVER again.

She's been doing research and having liver and blood panels done though so she's pretty up on her stuff. GREAT resource to have, let me tell ya.

That doesn't sound like any fun.

I never touched the stuff because all I ever here on the boards is taht if you take it your thyroid will shut down and you will have to be on it for the rest of your life. So rather than take chances I just stayed away from it.

I don't know if that is true & I really doubt that it is.

How much of it were you doing and how much was she doing?

from what i understand the clen wont cause that by itself, but adding the cytomel drastically increases the chances of going hypo throid (permanent). i'm not sure what her dosing was but, i had taken equal amounts of both. If i did 50 mcg of clen i had 50mcg of Cytomel to go with it. apparently that ratio is BAD. dont know what a good ratio is but after my experience i dont care, i'll never touch the cytomel again.

Legs

totally forgot to send this to my wop. Just did though. i'll let you know if she has anything to say

Thanks Hon
