So, I got some new labs done a couple weeks ago. I had a problem getting the 4x saliva cortisol test kit, so I couldn't do it the same day I did the blood work. I plan to do that at the end of the week.

This was all done fasting, first thing in the morning. Same as back in June. Just not sure if the changes in the thyroid labs are good or bad. Also have no idea what to make of the high DHEA, since I'm not taking anything containing that. Also not sure if the increase in glucose is a good thing or not.

I'm on adrenal cortex, licorice and holy basil for adrenal fatigue. Didn't take any of that for a couple days before the test though. Have put on some weight since June, and not really sure how that happened. Kinda given up on dealing with that. The only other thing out of range was lymphocytes (3.7 ......normal is 0.7-3.1)....but maybe that means I'm more fighting things off than I was before?

Babesia seems to be my main infection right now (also have Lyme and bartonella). Adrenal fatigue. Gut issues. Female hormone issues. And bad heavy metal problems.

TSH 2.75 uIU/mL (0.45-4.5) (was 1.4 in June)
Free T3 3.6 pg/mL (2.0-4.4) (was 3.3 in June)
Free T4 1.66 ng/dL (0.82-1.77) (was 1.4 in June)
Reverse T3 18.6 ng/dL (9.2-24.1) (was 17 in June)

TIBC 376 ug/dL (250-450) (was 383 in June)
UIBC 276 ug/dL (150-375)
Serum Iron 100 ug/dL (35-155) (was 58 in June)
Iron Saturation 27% (15-55) (was 15 in June)
Ferritin 25 ng/mL (15-150) (was 16 in June)

Progesterone 9.5 ng/mL (1.7-27) (was 5.5 on day 20 in June)
Estradiol 145.4 pg/mL (43.8-211) (was 73 on day 20 in June)
DHEA 809 ng/dL (31-701) (was 218 on day 20 in June)

Iodine 49.3 ug/L (40-92)

Glucose 98 mg/dL (65-99) (was 85 in June)

Provoked heavy metals test was high for lead, mercury and uranium....not quite as high for antimony and thallium. Have some other results too, but typing them in is too much work.

Is there anything off about the thyroid results? I haven't been able to do much reading, since I'm not up for understanding complicated stuff.

Didn't need to gain weight, but its not a lot since I still fit into the same clothes I wore before. Just some things are a little tighter. Probably 10-15lbs. Haven't changed eating at all...in terms of food and all.

I'm also on licorice as my main adrenal support herb now. Not sure if that's affecting the glucose and estrogen. Kinda wonder if that's the culprit for the weight gain.

Thanks.

I have an appointment on the 28th with my LLND to talk about all this.

I was feeling pretty good....until I did that provoked heavy metals test. Then things kinda fell apart a little. I was feeding horses, walking about a mile every day, cleaning the house....and not being wiped out at the end of the day. Sometimes even doing some light exercise before relaxing for the evening before bed.

Now, not so much. Sleep is going pretty well...other stuff not so much. Almost wonder if the heavy metals stuff is somehow messing with the ferritin. I know I don't feel good at all when I try to take iron supplements.
