[QUOTE="JimGainz, post: 196654, member: 19127"] A few thoughts from my own experiences: - it took a combination of optimizing Thyroid, Vitamin D, B12, DHEA, and Testosterone to really start feeling good. The T and Thyroid had the largest impact but I still struggled a bit until the other components were all tested, measured low, and then dialed in. - even with optimal dosing - there are things that cause challenges: I mentioned that every few months I need to back off my thyroid dose because it causes some insomnia / anxiety. Also - I really struggle to stay awake at night in the early evening. I feel narcoleptic - just can’t keep my eyes open at 7 pm. Ironically I found that cutting down my caffeine in the morning helped with this for some reason. So did cutting way back on alcohol. ( I was never a big drinker- maybe 2-3 times per week but I have been abstaining due to the Covid shot and feel better) - I sometimes take melatonin as well as some low dose THC gummies (5mg). This combo allows me to sleep uninterrupted for about 4 1/2 hours - which is a godsend for anyone who knows what it’s like to keep waking up every hour or two. I feel much better the next day when I take this at night. - getting back to the thyroid - when I was on Armor, my RT3 was nearly 30 (off the scale high). This means that all the T3 in armor wasn’t doing anything for me. This is when I started T3 mono therapy and it did take a few months to get things in order. The RT3 took a while to come down abs when it did, I felt better. If I think of anything else I will post again. [/QUOTE]
