I'm trying a few natural things. I also have candida overgrowth and he wants to deal with that first. But he is open to trying hcg mono or test and hcg for the low testosterone. Problem is a few years back when I did t-cyp only trt it lowered my cortisol further then it already was. My 4x saliva went from low normal first two readings and low at night. To low across board. And my serum levels went from 14 down to 7. And boy did I feel it. Maybe it was the loss of testicle function that also aided in the cortisol lowering effect. I added hcg in later on but didn't feel a difference and after a month I tried a restart. And just went back to baseline.

My my doctor was also interested in trying low dose naltrexone since I had Lyme in past and maybe the low grade infection is stopping my hpta from coming back to normal.

The he one thing I'm having minor success with is progesterone cream. I've tried preg/Dhea before and I get my old neurological symptoms back from them. Prog seems to calm me down and at the very least preserve some of my cortisol. I've never taken bloods during prog therapy. But I'm probably going to get labs soon to see what it's doing.
