[QUOTE="goodfriendbob, post: 210301, member: 40109"] I have always done test cyp eod with varying doses. I have felt better as I go down, and currently I am at 36 mg eod. This has my TT at around 750, FT dead on at the upper limit of normal. Estrogen was high at 57 but I am making no changes as I was eating a lot of grapefruit at the time and I think this contributed as it generally was running around 38-40. As far as iron goes I was having weird symptoms earlier this year that I thought was high hemoglobin related and stupidly donated twice. This gave me breathing problems for a while until I took iron to get my ferritin back up to 48. It recently dropped again to 33 however so I have been supplementing heme iron to raise this to more around 80. I have been having lots of diffusing thinning on my scalp as well and I think this is related. My last vitamin d showed me at low normal at 31. I had been taking 10,000 iu per day for a while at that time. I have since upped to 30,000 to see if I can get it higher. I do weigh 260 and am probably 19% body fat or so. I am doing intermittent fasting and have dropped five pounds so far. My biggest problem has always been my seemingly poor peripheral circulation. Unless I just worked out, my legs from the knees down are pretty damn cold. My thyroid labs come back relatively normal every time and last tsh was 2.2. It has crept up to 3.75 with higher trt doses though. Adrenals I have no clue where to start. Supplementing iodine makes my neck feel like it’s swelling so that’s out for me without doctor supervision. The times my legs feel coldest are when I feel my worst and I can’t help but feel like it’s thyroid. No antibodies in 4 tests over the years [/QUOTE]
