Is there any reason I would have new muscle weakness and tiredness and fatigue since starting trt? I am at 140mg a week I split in 2 doses so 70mg twice weekly

Last time I checked my thyroid markers were a little high as well

There are dozens of reasons for weakness on TRT, mineral deficiencies, T that is too high etc. It could be your body hasn't found homeostasis if you just started TRT.

You're not giving us much information, therefore the quality of feedback will be severely limited.

TRT can't work if there are thyroid problems.

My free t3 and free t4 are high, my throglobulin is high, my glucose fasting is high. Sorry I don't really know what else to mention but thanks for the help its still a relief knowing it could be something common

My free t3 and free t4 are high, my throglobulin is high, my glucose fasting is high.

Again you're not giving me any numbers, a little high may not be a problem. The high glucose means you're a diabetic.

I was diagnosed with low-T and diabetes at the same time, none of the diabetes medicines worked, only the TRT has brought my glucose down and I'm well on my way to reversing my type 2 diabetes.

In this case, because you have diabetes, it could take longer for you to start feeling good than someone that only has low-T.

Restoring normal glycemic control can take 3-12 months.

Effects on sexual interest appear after 3 weeks plateauing at 6 weeks, with no further increments expected beyond. Changes in erections/ejaculations may require up to 6 months. Effects on quality of life manifest within 3–4 weeks, but maximum benefits take longer. Effects on depressive mood become detectable after 3–6 weeks with a maximum after 18–30 weeks. Effects on erythropoiesis are evident at 3 months, peaking at 9–12 months. Prostate-specific antigen and volume rise, marginally, plateauing at 12 months; further increase should be related to aging rather than therapy. Effects on lipids appear after 4 weeks, maximal after 6–12 months. Insulin sensitivity may improve within few days, but effects on glycemic control become evident only after 3–12 months. Changes in fat mass, lean body mass, and muscle strength occur within 12–16 weeks, stabilize at 6–12 months, but can marginally continue over years. Effects on inflammation occur within 3–12 weeks. Effects on bone are detectable already after 6 months while continuing at least for 3 years.
