Could it be that all of my hormones are suffering because i don’t sleep well? I often feel like crap because i have bad sleeping habits plus it takes a long time for me to fall asleep. And i have a lot of stress - i am a fulltime college student and work during the weekends. I did a lot of resistance training in the past and i’m pretty sure i often overtrained and didn’t recover properly.

Thanks, i’ll try that. A few of those parameters have already been tested, i posted the results below.

With the thyroid med, do you feel different?
TSH=0.29 suggests that dose may be too high. Watch your body temperatures to see if you are getting too warm. Yes, fT3 did not change so we might expect that nothing else should change.
Your T levels are too low for your age. Maybe this will change with thyroid meds.
What is your fasting total cholesterol lab data? Glucose?[/quote]
I feel a little bit better with the thyroid med. I am tracking my body temperature from now on.
It certainly doesn’t feel like T levels increased, libido is still very low, but that might as well have other reason (too much porn).
Labs:
Insulin: 3.8 [3.21 - 16.32 mIE/l]
cholesterol 154
HDL 59
LDL 87
ACTH 32.3 [4.70 - 48.8 ng/l]
