[QUOTE="hebejebe, post: 92597, member: 16935"] I started hcg mono therapy about 6 weeks ago. For the past 5 years, I've gained weight, felt tired, felt weak, sweat at anytime like I'm in a sauna, and lost my drive in life. Had the typical blood tests, with the typical answers from the docs. Test levels were on a bit of a roller coaster ranging from the mid 300's to low 500's then most recently to the high 200's. LH and FSH levels were tested and found low (0.8 LH and 2.2 FSH) but doc said it was ok. Obviously she, as an endo, was wrong. Found a doc recently who thought it was best to try hcg mono. I currently use 1000iu dosed 3x per week. Had labs done and the results were great. TT - 730 FT - 162 E2 - 29 SHBG - 25 Im happy to see numbers up but, I still feel tired, maybe even more so than before. I feel as though I've put on 5-10 pounds, all of which is in my abdomen. Im 40 yrs old 5'10" and 215lbs. I workout 5-7 days a week, weights and cardio. I've noticed that my endurance seems to be falling and strength is pretty much staying the same. I eat pretty clean as I avoid fatty, processed, and fast foods. I don't sleep very well. Either can't fall asleep or I can't stay asleep. I've had thyroid tests but the docs only ever test TSH and T4. I had RT3 tested once and it was on the higher end, maybe 3 or 4 points from being over the high limit. For supplements, I take Omega-3's, use a pre-workout, l-arginine, and whey protein isolate. I've tested morning and afternoon body temps usually come in under 98 degrees. I've heard that can be related to thyroid disorder. Had an a.m. cortisol test (blood) and it was 16 with the high end being 20. I'm kind of lost. With increasing my T levels I thought I would feel better but I don't. I plan on visiting my GP this week since she's wanting me to come in for a yearly physical. I'm going to DEMAND blood work but I'd like some opinions on what should be checked besides my cholesterol, which is all she ever seems to care about. It is usually high (low 300's). I would appreciate any suggestions, comments, thoughts, etc..... [/QUOTE]
