green Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hello All, An anecdotal reflection on recovering. I have been having much less trouble with brain fog and fatigue this past two months. I had been trying to build stamina and muscle through exercise for years, but no avail.But this past fall my GP found out I have low testosterone, and put me on supplementation. There was no immediate change. I went back to weight-lifting and gradually increasing my cardio load for a couple months before I started feeling better. I gained some noticeable strength and muscle during these months. I wonder if the combination of exercise and testosterone supplementation was necessary for me to start feeling better. Perhaps neither alone would have ever worked? The bottom line: check out your testosterone levels, if you are a male. No one thought of this, not even the two POTS experts I saw!

Sallysblooms Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Women need the right level too. I am tested for all hormones every 6months. I take compounded hormones . Testosterone is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
