An old friend has been sober for 2 years after an 11 yr opiate ( pill) addiction.
He was complaining of severe fatigue, no libido, depression, etc.
Dr tested his thyroid said it was low put him on meds said he will get back to normal.
I suggested a test level check. After a battle with his Dr, guess what..... 54!
You read that right 54. 6x lower than males 85-100 yrs old.
Turns out opiates have a dire effect on your endocrine system. Says the Dr that didn't want to run the test.
Started him on 100mg cyp per week.
