    BUT i have :

    - low energy
    - extreme fatigue in the morning
    - zero libido (i can get it up but have no desire to whatsoever)
    - extreme irritability
    - joint pain and stiffness
    -decreased muscle volume and tone
    - decreased strength
    - no motivation to train
    - very weak morning wood
    - tired in the morning but cant sleep at night ( feeling alert)
    - extreme light sensitivity
    - hypotension(sudden)
    -dizziness and hypotension when standing from a relazed position
    - difficulity loosing fat
    - heart palpitations and anxiety attacks at night
    - nervousness
    - forgetfullness

    absolutely it can be fixed! i had the same thing but mine was low T related. when T drops the adrenals go into overdrive to help out. i did the saliva cortisol test and my numbers were off the charts.

    TRT has been helping alot.

    if you have these symptoms and all your other hormones are in check , adrenal fatigue is suspected , saliva cortisol tests actually measure how much cortisol your body is producing.

    from what i understand, the saliva test is the most accurate. you basically stick one of those cotton bars in your mouth 4 times throughout the day and then ship it off to the lab.

    i think alot of guys who are low on T for long periods eventually have adrenal issues but this can be reversed once on TRT long enough to allow your adrenal glands to recover.

    wow I will be speaking to my doctore about this, they never questioned it when I got onto trt, maybe they need to check my levels as I think I have a majority of the symptoms up there

    How do you know you dont have any Test deficiency?
    What was your total and free T on your blood test?
    Please include the ranges as well.

    Your symptoms match mine 99%, and my problem was low T.

    My T finally fell below 300 and I was put on TRT. But I can tell you, I had all those same symptoms when my T was at 430 too!!! Just not quite as severe, but still terrible.

    My T kept going down every year, and I got worse and worse until I dipped under 300 which is out of range. Until then, doctors ignored me because most of them are idiots about this stuff. So I suffered for many years.

    The problem is, the lower range of a blood T test is for an 80 year old on his death bed. So dont assume your T is fine just because you are in range. If you are near the bottom of the range and are not 60+ years old, there is a problem.

    You clearly have all the symptoms of low T.
