You might ask your doctor to check testosterone and DHEA levels at the lab. Both decline in middle age.
DHEA is a pro hormone generator of testosterone.
It is often low in autoimmune inflammatory conditions.
DHEA is helpful in conditions of diminished adrenal reserve. Best to avoid over supplementation of either
hormone.

Thank you for your feedback.
I’ve read that in some studies TRT can actually ease the symptoms and reduce the flare ups in some autoimmune diseases including RA (which is what I have) because of the muscle and bone growth that testosterone can help with and also help with the fatigue and brain fog that comes with the flare ups.
Would you have any knowledge or insight on this?
