I've been on Testosterone for one week.

I've been on Testosterone for one week.  I've also been on meds for hypothyroid for 6 days.

The first few days were rough, mood-wise.  Other than that, my joint aches are better and my sleep is improving, as well.

I am sure it's a combination of both medications, but today was straight-up good.  I felt rested upon waking and I honestly can't remember the last time that happened.  I usually struggle with being sluggish and drowsy and desperately wanting to crawl back into bed, but not today.

I woke up, did my Duolingo, got my steps in, did my strength-training from yesterday, and went to work.  I struggle to get those 2 to 3 things done daily (I don't strength train every day), often waiting until after work to exercise, but today I knocked it out, as well as checked off some things from my to-do list.  It's been weeks since I checked even one thing off that list.

I don't know if I will have this kind of energy every day, but I am really hoping this isn't a fluke.  I felt like I wanted to feel - like I used to feel, before Psoriatic Arthritis and college stress and depression teamed up and knocked me on my ass.  Not to brag, but I used to be a person who could do things.  😂  If this does keep up, maybe I'll get back to skating and making jewelry and doing more than just sitting on the couch because that's all I have the energy left to do after working.  Here's hoping.

It's only 8:30 here, but I'm crashing out and I'm ok with that.  I'm still trying to be gentle with myself and I'm listening to my body, so I'm getting ready for bed.  I hope y'all have a good night.  <3
