Good morning to everyone here
I've been feeling quite abnormal in the past 3 years getting quite bad symptoms of brain fog, ed and sweating. But recently it got so bad that I went to get my blood checked.
My results came back like this :
Glucose 98 mg/dl (74-99)
FT4 20.7. (12-22)
FT3 5.3 (3.1-6.8)
Testosterone 6.14 (2.8-8)
TSH 4.3 (0.27-4.20) *
Cortisol AM 714.8 (171-536) *
Insulin 11 (3-8) *
I repeated the cortisol test with dexamethasone and it came back good.
I can tell that my diet in the years before this situation was quite bad and contained a lot of sugar and stress ( was not in stress at the time of the blood tests)
I've been put on metmorfin twice a day to reduce insulin and have actively started avoiding carbs and being active.
Could these changes result in the drop of insulin and therefore cortisol which could be causing the brain fog and ED both of which I'm quite motivated to fix ? And how long before I start seeing results considering these steps?
Thank you very much for any advise
