Hello everyone,
I’ve been on TRT on and off for about a year now, and the one issue that I’ve had before TRT and during TRT is lack of energy. Prior to starting TRT there were two issues that I had with my blood work. Below normal testosterone and high TSH. With further testing I found out that I suffer from Hashimotos. My TSH wasn’t ridiculously high but it would range from 2.5-5.5. I tried synthroid and immediately felt better, the only issue that it lasted for only a couple of weeks. I then increase my dosage and again I felt better for a short period of time and then felt terrible again. At this point I figured that my low t was the culprit. I eventually got on TRT and felt great, my strength, endurance, and libido increased significantly. My energy was good but not where I wanted it to be. I experimented with different dosages of T4, T3, and NDT but it always seems as if my body adjusts and goes back to having low energy. The only thing I haven’t tried is T3 only.
For about 4 months I got off of my thyroid medication and felt great for a while, eventually the symptoms came back hard. It seems as if I’ll have to rely on thyroid medication for the rest of my life.
Is there anyone on this forum who has had success with thyroid medication? All I’m looking for is more energy and better fat loss. If anyone has had success please list your protocol.
