[QUOTE="tropicaldaze1950, post: 275351, member: 13651"] In some ways, we sound similar. After 10 years of prescribed TRT and not much to show for it, except more muscular, I'm considering a break. Poor sleep has been a constant for 20 years, which is when bipolar re-emerged. I've been reading, again, a book by the late Dr. Broda Barnes on hypothyroidism. I started back on desiccated(1 grain) in the evening and, in the morning, 10 mcg of liquid T3. Actually slept 7 hours. I know I'll likely change things around if I feel I need to tweak it. Both Barnes, who started as an endocrine physiologist, then went to medical school, and Ray Peat, also an endocrine physiologist, saw treating not just overt, but subtle problems with the thyroid or the HPTA, as a critical key to overall physical and mental health, as well as sexual function. Before I began testosterone therapy, I was actually getting strong erections, but not with my wife and that's because of her verbal/emotional abuse and gaslighting. I always noticed that as soon as she went out, I'd get horny. When she returned, that feeling disappeared. Even Freud would say, 'Schmuck, your penis is talking to you about being married to a crazy woman!' I'll go for labs in about 2 months to see how things look off of testosterone. If thyroid improves my sleep quality, that's a huge win for mood, overall health and even sexual function. We got to keep trying, man! [/QUOTE]
