[QUOTE="Alive, post: 116994, member: 19034"] I've been having problems with severe fatigue, insomnia (waking in the middle of the night, not feeling rested) and mental fog in the last 2 years or so. Last year around this time my total T was measured to be in the 200s. Finally I went on TRT from last November. My current regimen is: Tuesdays: T Cyp 40mg, HCG 400 IU Friday T Cyp 50 mg, HCG 400 IU I was started on a much higher dose of T though. All my problems still persist and they may have got even worse. Here are some lab results from a couple weeks ago: Estradiol: 33.7 in 8-35 Progesterone: 0.2 in 0-0.5 Total T: 867 in 264-916 Free T: 29.4 in 8.7-25.1 Prolactin: 7 in 4-15.2 DHEA-S: 341 in 102.6-416.3 fT3: 3.8 in 2-4.4 fT4: 0.86 in 0.76-1.46 rT3: 18.9 in 9.2-24.1 TSH: 0.985 in 0.385-3.74 I'm also deficient in both iodine and Vitamin D. I started taking iodine and more vitamin D after I got the results. My main concern is with estradiol. My T/E ratio has actually decreased since I went on TRT. I've read that high E2 causes problems like hypothyroidism, fatigue and insomnia, all of which I have. I started taking 0.5mg/week of arimidex but seems it makes me more fatigues. (This is ones of its common side effects actually.) Also what is the actual cause of my hypothyroidism? High E and low iodine or something else? My doc put me on dessicated thyroid and it seemed to work but I stopped because I wanted to find the actual cause. I'm going to meet him in a week. More about me: in late 30s, lean, don't eat crap, drink a coffee in the morning and I work out quite a bit. [/QUOTE]
