I am on a daily protocol, but it is of no help for symptoms. It makes my T levels great on paper, though. By that mean that I have all my Low T symptoms..low energy, low libido, inability to recover from exercise, etc.
RT3 should be <14-15, so you obviously have a pooling problem @ 20.4 there and that typical treatment is by adding T3 and I see you did that.
Take this up specifically with Dr Saya because it's not good or whatever you said that it was "fine".
correct protocol for what though. Trt alone or hrt. The body is so damn complex it’s not just as simple as taking a few hormones. I know for me anytime I touch a hormone. Be it cortisol,test,thyroid I get negative side effects. I’ve had way more success messing with nt drugs then hormones. Now that may fall under you ballon of “protocol” but hormones aren’t always to blame if if levels are lowHmm how many different protocols have you tried?
I always believe the correct protocol is out there for everyone, some just need more time to find it than others.
If you take too much t3 that can increase your rt3

If the body has too much t3 it will increase conversion of t4 to rt3 to protect itself. Read tired thyroid.comYou mean too much T4, no?
I do get 7 hours of decent sleep every night. A bit of *** oil before bed helps me sleep better as well.
I feel like I have Low T and hypo-thyroid no matter what protocol I am on. Low energy, low libido, sore muscles, usually cold, can't build any muscle or loose any fat, a bit of brain fog.
iMy TSH is 5.54 or something like that. It’s always high when I am dieting. My RT3 is 30 (very high) right now because I am dieting. My T3 and T4 are always in normal range.
Despite high TSH, I actually feel like a million bucks when I am on a low carb diet/keto and when I get at least 7 to 8 hours of sleep. I also have low SHBG of 9. Although TRT does help me, I only inject 70mg per week. More than that gives me too many sides like acne, high E2, DHT, HCT etc.
Are you getting sleep? Personally I often use sleep meds cuz of insomnia. Have you tried a keto/low carb diet?
Would you mind detailing every protocol you've tried?
Have there been some protocols better than others?
Ever considered dopamine problems?
I have literally tried everything except Test pellets. Cypionaye, Enanthate, Propionate, twice weekly, three times weekly, daily...it all feels like I am injecting water. Also tried topical by itself and with shots. No difference.
