New to the forum, but as it seems to be the most knowledgable on the net, thought I’d post for advise here. I was prescribed 200mg Test Cyp e10d and 40mg Simvastatin ed for my high chol, at the doctors office this afternoon, as a result of my labs. I can’t help but believe that my high cholesterol, high TSH, and low testosterone are all related, but doc didn’t seem to be concerned about that. No discussion of whether I am type 1 or 2. Basically just “take these pills and this T, and you’ll be good. We’ll take labs again in 25-30 days”. During those labs he intends to retest my total and free test, along with TSH and T4 to take a better look at the thyroid. I am home injecting, so I will be doing 100mg e5d instead of the 10 day prescribed, but lost with the rest of this. Any help is appreciated.

Weight up to 300lbs 6 years ago. Dieted and hit gym to get down to 209, but have been between 225-240 for the last two years. Low libido and fatigue since I was about 27. Began to get significant brain fog about 4 months ago, leading me to go to my GP and him to check T levels, among other things.-health conditions, symptoms [history]
No regular scrips, was prescribed Simvastatin at the same time as Test cyp-Rx and OTC drugs, any hair loss drugs or prostate drugs ever
Since deciding to lose the fat 6 years ago, my diet has been consistantly low carb/high protein, but I have cycled calories. Diet since then has never been more than 2400 cals/day, but has sometimes been 1500 cals/day for 90 days or more-describe diet [some create substantial damage with starvation diets]
Lift heavy weight / low reps 3 days/wk. Run 3+ miles twice/wk-describe training [some ruin there hormones by over training]
