[QUOTE="Systemlord, post: 72890, member: 15832"] Hello everyone, First let me start out by saying this forum has an excellent wealth of knowledge, especially in the stickys. Back in late 2016 I starting having episodes unexplained fatigue, heart palpitations and my sex drive started disappearing quickly. I truly felt like I was dying, my sleep was shallow and never felt well rested. I had lost all muscle mass and became physically weak all the time, so I decided to see a doctor which after a blood test confirmed my testosterone was 119 ng/dL. My endo prescribed 200 mg every three weeks back in February which I soon learn would never work as by week three I was already at the bottom of the range and my E2 was making me feel horrible. I decided to change doctors and my new endo prescribed 75 mg weekly which put me at 550 ng/dL (FT 15.5 ng/dL, SHBG 18 nmol/L) in just four weeks, at my lowest point a day before injection I'm at 442 ng/dL. At the end of the fourth, fifth and sixth week I experience what felt like the partial return of my sex drive but only for one day near the end of the week. I'm now on my seventh injection and have already reached five half lives and my doctor says all hormone levels looks great. My sleep has improved a little , mood is better and cognitively feel a little better. My E2 is in the mid 20s and I'm a little confused by this back and forth return of my sex drive, my thyroid blood tests and body temps look fine. I thought for sure I'd be feeling dramatically better by the time I reached a steady state, but it seems to be taking longer. I'm 45, 6ft, 230 pounds I'm type 2 diabetic and am wondering is this what recovery will look like in the coming months? When can I realistically expect to see a return of my energy, sex drive and muscle mass increases? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
