I need to see evidence of this 4 minute mile whilst at school?!
If you could run that pace at such a young age, then burn out could be contributing towards your issues.

Your e2 is too low
Coudnt read the whole thread but have you tried rising your total t to 1000-1200?
I have seen members with full blown hypothyroid between 2.5-4.0, in fact some lab companies have narrowed the ranges down to 2.5 based on the median value of <1.5. Donāt wait for your endo to get caught up in a world where medical knowledge is always evolving.
There is medical literature showing people with normal TSH and in range thyroid hormones responding well to thyroid treatment. There is thought to be thyroid hormone resistance at the cellular level requiring more thyroid hormone than usual.
There is also thyroid dysfunction which is hard to detect on laboratory testing. I think your previous TSH at 4.23 is the smoking gun.
I felt problems long before I started track and field and cross country. Insane sweating at 5-6 years old is the earliest I remember, then wetting the bed for years until I was like 12-13 (vasopressin issues?) and always feeling hot/temeprature dysregulation. Always thought I had a hypothalamus issue, but I know thyroid can cause temperature issues as well, but Iāve never seen hypothyroid+hyperhidrosis together.
Also to @systemlord what are the potential side effects of someone not hypothyroid taking thyroid medications?
Fast heart rates and anxiety are the most common complaints. Stopping the thyroid medicine will of course return things to baseline. The thyroid recovers very quickly when ceasing thyroid hormone.
For now donāt worry about elections bro. That will come. Got to get you right first.
You feel great? What about fatigue and etc
Yes, but that is not what I have claimed. Where I live it is normal to have a dozen coffees a day and there are many who take it before going to bed, but this does not change the pharmacological functioning of caffeine, which is biologically opposite to that which induces sleep, and it does not mean that these people are extraterrestrials who work in reverse, they simply are affected much less than other people. For this reason, expecting a person who ALREADY suffers from insomnia will not get worse with caffeine, or even being advised to abuse it based on a pyrotechnic theory of the unpredictability of the biological response, makes no logical sense, nor does it make sense to talk about hyper-generalization, distorting what I wrote.
I am not extraterrestrial, but it works in reverse on me. Itās called ADHD (Or ADD, depending), which is what is wife is.
Hi
I would do this like that, beacuse i suspect you may have low progesterone sides beacuse of trt (i am not on trt, never been, never try hcg. i just take clomid. itās based on my knowledge):
1.check levels of insulin glucose progesterone estradiol testosterone cortisol prolactin - at once
2.try niacinamide (not niacin) and thaimine (vit b1) or progesterone or sth else what can raise your progesterone.
Itās not uncommon for stimulants to have the opposite affect on people with adhd. I donāt have a clue how it works but literally my wife can take Sudafed or coffee and go right to sleep, it calms her down for some reason. Same way something like adderal would have me awake for days but brings her down a few notches closer to āregularā people with the whole bouncing off the wall like a 3 year old thing. No clue why, but it isnāt uncommon.
Stimulants slow down hyperactivity because they increase activity in the structures that control behavior inhibition, this doesnāt mean that caffeine has an opposite effect on sleep itself, that is a very specific activity.
It does. Trust me. It revolves around dopamine production/uptake/reuptake, which lives in balance on an axis with serotonin. In my case, it is related to CYP2D6 protein and metabolism of things via itās route. This includes creation of dopamine and transport. Itās pretty frickinā complicated, I am discovering, but makes a lot of things weird. In my case, it means (And this is medically accepted and recognized by the FDA) that things like Haldol and Thorazine and Codeine literally have no effect whatsoever on my system. None. It depends on how your body does and does not process stuff.
I think this is interesting. Do people with ADHD or dopamine deficiency seek out stimulants to ācalmā themselves down? Because I can drink lots of caffeine and feel calm, but what sticks out now is using copious amounts of dip, to calm me down. It keeps me balanced vs manic. Shitās exhausting though. And as I type this, sweat pools on the keyboard, good ol hyperhidrosis. Wish my neurotransmitters worked. Maybe my hypothalamus is just Fāed.
Sort of. I have, according to medical professionals, self-medicated with caffeine for years. I VERY recently learned through genomic testing that my issue lies with CYP2D6 abnormalities (Which is roughly 25% of all medications by the way). I am figuring out, slowly, what to do about it besides what I have been doing instinctively. Many ADD people have serious addiction issues, especially with stimulants. If a line of coke makes you feel āNormalā, itās pretty attractive as a self prescribed medicine in spite of the dangers.
Always take progesterone if itās low. FYI it takes 4-6 months to build up in the system.
I would take micronized version from MedQuest if anyone wants to do it right.
When you do a blood test to test is it good to check pregnenolone or progesterone?
Thereās also a lc/ms test for progesterone
I do not check either of them.
That was 10 months on TRT. Progesterone bottom level but Iāve heard mixed things on supplementing with it. I doubt Iām going to mess with it.
Yes. I took it also to trial did not like it.
But when you read that it helps with memory and cognitive function, I want to try again.
If anything I would not take more than 10mg.
Idk. What if our low levels contribute to dementia down the road??
This is what Iām nervous about. I feel like Iām going to get Parkinsonās or something. Since being on TRT, my short-term memory is non-existant. Iām forgetting names of people and names of places Iāve been around my entire life. It is not psycho-somatic or placebo. I read articles about high testosterone killing nerve cells and think great I have muscles now but Iām killing my brain. I have more drive to hunt and fish and do outside shit. Video games give me 0 interest now whereas before they were my life. TRT has in a way saved my health/life but has made me an entirely different person than who I was before.
I donāt know if this is who I was āsupposedā to be if I went through normal testosterone exposure, or what. Sure as shit feels better not being an impulsive emotional bitchā¦but why my libido is worse I donāt knowā¦or maybe what I considered libido before TRT was just another impulsive dopamine high jerking off 3-5 times a day, just like Iād buy tons of scratch tickets, or drink to excess, or play games for 15 hours.
None of those things do it for me anymore, the urge to do them is gone/greatly diminished.
