I'm really starting to worry about my testosterone levels. They dropped from 270 ngdl to 208.83 ngdl in just two months, and I'm not on any medications or lacking vitamins like D or zinc. I've always felt like my hormones are low because I'm just never feeling healthy. With being a beta thalassemia minor, dealing with chronic back pain, low hemoglobin, weak bones, extra chest fat, and metabolic issues, it's a lot. Even a little extra oil or sugar messes with me, and I end up with painful acne. I often take doxycycline for that. Although I look healthy, I get tired too easily and have all the symptoms that come with low hormonal levels. I've noticed endocrinologists don't seem to know much about TRT. What do you think I should do?
