thanks Gene..not much to say really.. lifestyle . I am disabled with "chronic fatigue and low immune subclass"  I was enjoying weight training untill i tore my right rotator cuff..which i have a surgery pending- and that is pretty stressful as having had "cfids" for years i dont have alot of back up assistance.    I used to do carido but that at high levels seem to crash my immuity and i get infections.      a bit over a year ago i started on thyroid meds  and HC for adrenal support.. that has helped.  as well as a low dose of testo-  the testo really helps  however being a "female born" person even only 20mg a week decreased my HDL from 50 down to 28.  LDL and tri's are ok though.. i have a pretty decent food plan except the nite eating.     saw a cardiologist last week about the low HDL  luckily he didnt freak out when i told him about the testo and being "transgender"  he said he wouldnt recommend a statin  (which i didnt want anyway) and the best way to tell if the HDL was a problem would be to do a stress test.. so i have that pending for next week.       Ideally i would love to get back into the gym and do some light lifting and although the orthopedist said it would be ok.. others have advised me against it.   the gym has been my "church" for many years and my go to when stress-   but having a right shoulder injury and an old clutch ..going anywhere isn't much fun lately.            sorry i dont have much "good stuff"     maybe drama is good?    oh  this could be a missing piece   15yrs ago i was on interferon therapy for a year  Intron A  3x a week.. it kicked out the hep c virius (stil in remission) but my body never felt well after that  lots of fatigue and the following years  exercise = infections and the infections lasted months  ..and became more and more frequent...  i have been to 2 very good infectious disease dr's and a lyme dr and still no diagnoses .. only thing i can figure is my body systems became weak .. since taking thryoid and HC i haven't had as many infections.. yet still low energy.

i am trying to have a goal i can look forward too  and right now losing weight seems like it is something i may be able to accomplish  although i can't do weight training.  ilosing weight seems like it can maybe be done with the right food plan and some walking.    thanks for your support..    hope this wasn't too much information
