It’s been a year now trying different things. Mainly anastrozole by itself and then recently hcg + anastrozole. My symptoms brain fog, sleep, lack of sex drive etc… have not improved at all. I do have IBS as well that is difficult to control.
I’m really frustrated.
I’m 30, Male, 5’11 - 205LBS. I used to lift weights 3-5x a week. Now my energy levels are barely there to even want to go to the gym and crush a workout. For the last year or so I’ve had all the symptoms of low T. Stress, moody, no more morning wood, trouble concentrating, brain fog, lower libido, a random bald spot on my scalp, trouble sleeping, tired all the time, fat gain around the belly. I’ve had more anxiety and just haven’t felt like myself for a while.
My diet is semi clean. I’m not a perfect eater but I’m also not going to McDonalds every day. I’d say I average between 2300-2900 cals a day of mixed variety. Alcohol use is non-existent.
