Been on HRT for some years and it has done great things for my arthritis. I am a slow jogger and seemed to develop inability to breath and jog, which is a bit of a handicap
so asked to start T last October and hoped it would help with AFib I had developed.
It has been going fine and can breath again
but started after about 3 months of T feeling very tired. Thought it might be throid affected by T and upped dose a bit but still tired and very easily become overwhelmed at work.
Just tested cortisol, as that can be a source of tiredness and can be affected by other hormones. Confusingly blood cortisol showed low total cortisol. But saliva cortisol off top of the range, high free cortisol.
Not sure how to interpret this, but wondered if cortisol was affected by the T or just a coincidence and has developed over time without me noticing? Any experiences or advice?
