    Honestly, that kinda happened to me.

    Well, I had a blood test because I was having heart palpitations and under extreme stress, so not exactly “just collapsed”. But they found I have hypothyroidism, and life’s much better and much easier with the medication.

    Turns out you’re not supposed to feel tired after doing nothing, sleep 12 hours, then wake up tired…

    Annoyingly this must’ve been an issue for years, but I was raised to “shut up and get on with it”, and told the problem was that I’m “just lazy” :/


  • I’ve only heard very positive things about TRT, but that’s just from people discussing it online.

    I imagine if you’re just using it to get testosterone levels back to normal then it wouldn’t cause any issues tho. The high testosterone side effects usually come from taking an inconceivably unnatural amount.

    I have hypothyroidism and since going on medication I’m a completely different person. Obviously a different thing, but it’s crazy how much our entire lives can be dictated by hormones without realising.

    All that being said, you should speak to a doctor about it.
