[QUOTE="trtthings, post: 192219, member: 41094"] If you're interested in some reading that I find fascinating (regarding FT4, FT3 and mood): [URL='https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/pdf/10.1177/039463200501800417']SAGE Journals: Your gateway to world-class research journals[/URL] Not trying to sell you on this particular drug, but rather that reading the results/discussion is interesting. Esp. the part where high FT4 often seems to correlate to higher HAM-D scores, and lower FT4 lower scores, and higher FT3 with lower scores. My symptoms.. digestion is trash, and yes, sensitivity to cold as well. Not noticed much thinning. Very dry skin (esp. notable on head). The worse thing I deal with now is my mood, I get really emotional (which has never been a problem before). Anastrozole helps with that bit but mood in general could be a lot better. Interesting to hear WRT CRP and ESR. I know someone who suffered from insane fatigue for 12 years (much worse than I, bedbound), who started TRT and anastrozole (a hefty dose of the latter). He started feeling better right away but had a period after a few months where CRP went through the roof. He kept to his protocol and added some supplements and now several years later he still feels fine/great. I've considered trialing thyroid meds (esp. T3) but I've been reluctant to suppress that axis. Plus it sounded like a pain to balance. If you take too much you'll feel jittery, and so on. It's interesting though to read that adding T3 to some antidepressants turns non-responders to responders. [/QUOTE]
