Time of day is important for cortisol.
Should be “AM Cortisol” done at 8AM or 1 hour after waking.
Do not test GH again. IGF-1 is used to eval GH status.
TPO high
TSH above 1.0 ???
Selenium deficiency possible cause of TPO elevation.
Are you iodine deficient? See below re oral body temperatures.
CRP elevated, inflammation or infection.
Low-T, high LH: testes not working, pituitary working
TRT increases/restores metabolism. If other systems are not in the game things may not go well. Often that can be low thyroid function. You may also not react well by a surge if T induced E2 -but how sudden? E2 explains weepy and depressed, perhaps bitchy. E2 management may be very important.
Had vit-D25 tested?
Taking vitamin D3?

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab number and ranges.
The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
