Hormonal Imbalances
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?

I'm just a bit concerned about my vitamin D levels. I checked them last month and they were really low. I'm curious, can I improve my vitamin D levels if I get some sunlight in the evening? Or is it only effective in the morning?

I've been taking glizid total p 7.5 as my doctor recommended, but I've recently moved and discovered the pharmacy here doesn't have it because it's no longer being made. Could you recommend an alternative that works the same way?
