I am really feeling old and i think it is more to do with hormonal health than age.
I am 46 this year, but i am fit and active. I take thyroid T4 because i have a lower functioning thyroid. This is usually 125 T4 per day. I also take vitamin D and sometimes a little T3 (3mcg per day is a normal amount). Plus i use 2 drops ProgestE per day = 6mg progesterone.
Currently i am doing ok, but i am feeling much more tired later in the day and my body is aching a lot. My forearms are really aching and i feel much weaker in this area. Recovery from sport is much harder at the moment as well. On thursday just gone i played football, but on friday and today my legs have been aching so much.
I suppose i need some blood tests doing to see which hormones may be lower. I don't think this is thyroid related, but it could be obviously. Could testosterone be an issue ? Or could it be poor adrenal function.
I have also been using androsterone 2 drops per night. It seemed to improve things initially, but now i notice no difference.
I also notice recently after eating lunch i feel much more tired afterwards. Normally i feel better after eating food. What could this mean ?
