I remember at one stage all I wished for was to be able to sleep, to drift off naturally, to feel naturally tired. To sleep and feel refreshed to some extent. The other sides didn't matter, I just wanted to sleep! So I have to be so incredibly grateful for that. I sleep deeply now and don't wake up to a pin drop like before. Hands and feet have stopped being so cold too which is a massive plus.
I still wake up tired and exhausted, I still have no spontaneous erections. I do however get nocturnal and morning wood every night usually. It's not great, like full hard, but it's there and that's all that matters right now for me.
Still eating very healthy, trying to keep active and positive. I enjoy stuff more. Brain fog is still around, less of a fog, more of a mental slowness now? Hard to put down.
Still very lean, muscular to some extent, lots of new body hair all the time which is surely a good sign. Seem to sweat less than before, sometimes smells very masculine, sometimes no smell.
With the he fatigue I have I also have this leg ache, it's not really painful cramps. It's just an uncomfortable feeling. Maybe restless legs still.
I just had a load of tests done a month ago to see a new baseline of where I'm at after stopping gluten. For all of you reading this For the first time I'm celiac. I'm meeting my endo next week To find out. My T was low a few months ago.
Anyways thanks for all your support.
This is my year! I can fucking feel it.
