I have several different problems. Any assistance is appreciated.

1. Low average daily body temp (97.1 average daily temp) occassionally rises to 98.0 - 98.5 after training.
2. Inability to lose weight. I have tried several different plans: increased activity (cardio, etc) reduced calories, carbs increased protein, etc.

I take the following:

a) 80 mg test cypionate once per week
b) 500 iu HCG 2 times per week (3 days prior to and 1 day prior to my wkly Testosterone injection)
c) 30 - 35 mg hydrocortisone per day (5 mg xtra on weight training days) this caused an additional 12 lbs of weight gain in 5 weeks.
d) 1500 mg metformin per day
e) 1/2 mg anastrozole 2 times per week. Thinking about reducing it to 1/2 mg per week.
f) Cynomel 25 mcg per day (worked up to 62.5 mcg per day but T3 seemed to be pooling and causing increased
heart pounding and anxiety, both reduced after that dose was lowered)
g) Therapeutic phlebotomy once per month usually between 7-10th of the month. (1 pint whole blood)
(my ferritin is low, under range, so I will wait a few weeks to have phlebotomy.
Iron, serum 66 (40 - 155)
Iron saturation 18 (15 - 55)
Feritin, Serum 19 LOW (30 - 400)
h) additional vitamins & minerals

I train (weights) 3 times per week and do cardio, 20 minutes 2 times per day 4 days per week.

I injured my back (2006) and could not work out for about 1 1/2 years. Maintained stable weight until 2011.
Gained 35 lbs in 1 ½ yrs. (2011-2013) Also 12 lbs of weight gain in 5 weeks after started hydrocortisone (Sept. 2013).
From 2005 until 2011 went through several extensive stressful events.

In the last 3 months everything has stabilized except body temperature and ability to lose weight. Maybe one is blocking the other?
My mood, personality and desires are almost back to pre-stress levels.

Any ideas on how to fix the body temp (without overstressing the adrenals) and weight loss problems?

With those corrected I would be good to go or 100%.

thanks,

Jger242 (Jim)

2013 Pre-TRT Symptoms: (most were corrected or improved by TRT/adex, HCG)

I feel fatigued & sluggish both reduced 50% after 4th week of TRT
Unexplained Weight gain (35 lbs in 1 ½ yrs) * No reduction in activity or increase in calories
Water retention (veins no longer visible)
Unable to loose weight with exercise and 35% calorie decrease
Hands and feet feel cold all the time
Low body temp (97.1 average daily temp) occassionally rises to 98.0-98.5 after training
highest P.M. temp has been 98.5 after workouts.
Heart palpitations & pounding at-rest heartbeat at times
loss of sex drive & additional related symptoms (many reduced after TRT)
Mild Depression & Anxiety (increased irritability / impatient / moody)
Hair loss - scalp
Infections and cuts take longer to heal
Eyes always dry
Ringing in ears
Infections and cuts take much longer to heal
hot flashes * Night sweats * both reduced 70% after 3rd week of TRT
loss of outer 3rd part of eyebrow hair and remaining eb hair is thinner (beginning to grow back in)
lost overall motivation-desire (food, sex, workout, work, friends, etc)
After workout takes 2-3 days to recover * I feel overly drained for days
instead of prev. a little drained for a few hours
* this was corrected after I began hydrocortisone (30 mg per day)
I still need 2-3 days between strenous workouts.
