Thoughts On My Labs? T is Good, Still Tired

Pharma TRT
1

Here are my labs from April When I began TRT
Obviously my T Levels are great currently, however… I still just feel tired… I work 8 hours a day and usually exhausted come dinner time… I have lost a bit of the extra weight I have carried around… but no big difference on energy at all…

Testosterone Serum 254 -Low (Range 264 ng/dl - 916 ng/dl
Free Testosterone (Direct) 5.7 - Low
TSH 1.230 (Range 0.450 -4.500)
Estradiol 6.4 -Low (Range 7.6 pg/ml - 42.6 pg/ml)
PSA 1.2 (Range 0.0 - 4.0)
IGF-1 213 (Range 81 ng/ml - 263 ng/dl)

Most recent (August Labs)
Testosterone Serum 995 - High (Range 264 ng/dl - 916 ng/dl)
Free Testosterone 26.2 - High (Range 6.8 pg/ml - 21.5pg/ml)
TSH 0.755 (range 0.450 - 4.500)
Estradiol 22.7 (Rang 7.6 - 42.6 ph/ml)
PSA 1.3 (Normal)

What I take daily
Multi-Vitamin (Vitamin Shoppe)
D3 8000 IU Daily
Vitamin C 500 MG Daily

Should I be concerned with the TSH coming in lower after the 3 months of Testosterone? I am on a somewhat High Dose currently 100mg Cypionate 2x week and 250 IU HCG 2x week.
Anything I should add? take out? the D3 is due to my levels being low.
Results for that previously was for the 17.9 (Low) Range is 30.0nh/ml - 100.0 ng/dl

Despite what you’ll read on the forum, TRT is not a magical elixir that fixes everything. Further, not every ailment/complaint a man experiences is related to his T levels. Don’t get sucked into the ‘single-factor’ fallacious thinking that dominates forums such as this.

What kind of work? Does your level of exhaustion seem out of the ordinary for what you do for a living?

No and if anything a lower TSH value indicates your thyroid is performing better because TRT increases metabolic rates and the thyroid is more than keeping up forcing your pituitary to hit the brakes a little which is why TSH is lower.

My TSH pre-TRT was 0.89 and recently was measured 0.45, at the very bottom of the normal ranges. Any lower and I’m looking at hyperthyroidism, which is too much thyroid hormone.

I have heard some men say they feel do feel tired when their T is too high.

In spite of what you’ve read, testosterone doesn’t decline to do age, it declines do to a cluster of medical conditions which lower the testosterone, so if the thing that caused the low-T is still progressing to a conclusion, TRT may not be able to go around whatever is going on under the surface.

A lot of the time low-T is idiopathic and the cause is elusive and the majority of secondary cases are unknown.
