T Is at 1284, But Still Feel Bad

.5 dose means what? 100 mg?
You could have posted lab ranges so we do not need to guess. Any more labs than that?

TT=1284 is nice.
E2=14.6 is a bit low. E2=22pg/ml is a good target.

You should be using anastrozole, not some evil shit off of the web. We cannot tell you how to dose that and it is too costly,

Google liquid anastrozole. Take 1mg per every 100mg T ester. Inject T twice or more a week and take anastrozole at that time. Ex 50mg and 0.5mg anastrozole.

TSH should be closer to 1. Your TSH may be elevated by not using iodized salt. You can check overall thyroid function via oral body temperatures - see below.

Thyroid fT3 regulates your metabolic rate as part of your body temperature control loop. Post both AM and mid-afternoon body temperatures.

Thyroid can make you feel like crap and thyroid is the obvious problem in your labs. Thyroid lab ranges are bogus. Do what suggest re temperatures and if low, fully read that sticky.

Vit-D25 could be better, take 5000iu per day, tiny oil based gel caps.

Inject 1/2 weekly dose twice or 3x a week.
Take anastrozole at time of injections at rate of 1mg per 100mg T ester.

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.

I can be a bit abrupt in my replies and recommendations. I have a lot of ground to cover as this forum has become much more active in the last two years. I can’t follow threads that go deep over time. You need to respond to all of my points and requests as soon as possible before you fall off of my radar. The worse problems are guys who ignore issues re thyroid, body temperatures, history of iodized salt. Please do not piss people off saying that lab results are normal, we need lab number and ranges.

The value that you get out of this process and forum depends on your effort and performance. The bulk of your learning is reading/studying the suggested stickies.
