Tired on HRT???

[androjunkie]

I've been on HRT for about 2 yrs. now and find myself lacking the energy I used to have. I often get tired during the day, especially after meals. Some days I feel alright but a lot of the time I feel real lethargic. I was just wondering if anybody else had experienced this as well, and if so what you did to correct it? I don't know if it's a vitamin defiency or if it's pituitary related but I eat 5-6 well balanced meals a day so I'm pretty sure I get enough nutrition. I'm in my 20's so its not age related. Any good advice is welcome.

I feel like my old self on HRT. Not sure what could be the cause of your lethargy. I also inj B12 eod so that caould also aid to my energy. Pm Dr.JMW. He can prbly help you figure it out.

Considerations

1. HRT prescribed levels may be LOW (actually, they could be high as well!!). Accurate HRT dosing requires time and testing to calibrate the PERFECT dose!

2. Run a full spectrum blood sugar analysis/index

3. Run a complete count Thyroid panel

4. How's your liver...........a liver under stress makes for a very lethargic individual.

5. Hows' the diet?

6. Stress Levels?

Good Luck!

I'm on a dose that keeps me in the 750-800 range, and I get thyroid and liver panel tested on a regular basis. Diet is pretty clean, definately not a junk food eater. Stress levels go up and down but I don't think they're any higher than normal. I haven't had my blood sugar tested in a long time so I think I will go see my doc on monday and just have everything tested again maybe my cbc's as well. Thanks for the input whacked, blood sugar levels is something I hadn't thought of. I was also considering adding HCG to my HRT to see if maybe it would help.

If anybody uses HCG with HRT please let me know if it effects anything, ie estrogen levels, sex drive, etc.

Is it necessary to inject B12 EOD? I have thought about using that, but I didn't know if it worked all that well, secondly I already feel like a fuckin' pin cushion and didn't want to have to jab myself any more than I already do. Talking to DRJMW is a good idea, I think I'll shoot him a PM.
