Hello ppl, it's been a while since I last posted here and a few things have changed. I stopped TRT, the Dr who was treating me wasn't okay with me injecting myself and when I asked for an inhibitor she gave me DIM pills so I decided to stop going to her and I'm basically on step 1 again.
This whole time I didn't even think about my Hashimotos or how TRT would/could effect it. I been googling it and it's all over the place. I have read about ppl struggling to people almost "cured" and now I'm just so full of questions it's intimidating. So far that I know my thyroid levels are in normal range, I'm going to call my Dr and ask for my results, I took a blood test a few weeks ago but my general mood sucks. Irritability, sometimes low depression, energy sucks, bad sleeping patterns all the same feeling I've had for a while and honestly I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired lol.
My out of town Dr is cool with me injection myself but since he's not too into hormones he was kinda stand offish when we talked about hgc and an inhibitor but was also kinda like "that's your call and we can work on it". A little reassuring but kinda intimidating because I'm not a Dr lol. He was the first to bring up T, after going to him because I felt my Thyroid was off we tested it and sure enough my antibodies and levels where off so we went up on the dosage. He told me that in 3-4 months if I'm not feeling better we might have to look into my T.
Another Dr I found locally (the one I stopped going to) tested my T after telling her what the out of town Dr said and found it on the lower side. Now I'm back with my out of town Dr and want to pursue the T therapy but I'm afraid I will be opening a new can of worms. It's been a rough ride trying to get the Hashi under control and now adding another type of hormone therapy only scares me. I'm from a small town so good hormone Drs are hard to find if any. I don't want to be another nightmare story with my body going full crazy mode trying to handle 2 real struggles at once!
Anyone here suffer from Hashi and on TRT? Any Hypos and going through TRT? What should I look for, what should I watch out for? Guys I have so many questions and worries and every where I look it feels like I'm running a race in a maze. Dead end after dead end, questions after questions.
My dream would be to get on TRT and watch everything fall into place and instead of running into problems it would unscrambling this hormone rubix cube of mine. I can only dream at this point.
I forgot to mention I'm on 125 levothyroxine, both Drs that seen me and treated me agreed that my body does convert it into T3 on it's own, or so that's what it did before but I might try Nature thyroid anyways. A T4 with a bit of T3 medication, Armour might have too much T3 for me.
Any one have any light for my dark tunnel?
