@KSman
Thanks, maybe I’ll get some ideas here.

Your labs are a joke, E2 might be very high.
Not testing E2
Any more labs? need ranges

stardard stuff:

Please read the stickies found here: About the T Replacement Category - #2 by KSman

  • advice for new guys
  • things that damage your hormones
  • protocol for injections
  • finding a TRT doc

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.

Wow your story is identical to mine. For the mucus, it might be LPR (type of acid reflux). You probably have sleep issues like apnea as well.
