Everything below you must dicuss with your doc before implementing anything.
Print this and discuss it with him.
I would like to figure out for you good starting dose for testosterone.
I need to know your last known SHBG level.
If you do not have it, we will find it at the next blood test and make adjustments.
For now lets do this:
Testosterone enanthate or cypionate 200mg/mL schedule EOD, EveryOtherDay
T-shot=0.2cc=20 units=40mg/EOD=140mg/week average
HCG-shot=250iu
do both shots one day next day free
test 3 months after starting on this schedule draw blood on the day of the shot, time of shot, before shot
I will post what tests to do below, combined with other tests.
Use only these needles for (T & HCG shots)

BD Ultrafine II U-100 Insulin Syringe 31 Gauge 3/10cc 5/16inch Short Needle--1/2 Unit Markings 100/b
=====================================================
To support your adrenals I would like you to use Medrol.
You may not utilize thyroid medications without properly working adrenals.
Your current asthma and allergies medications may or may not interfere with this project.
Discuss with your doctor throughly, have him research this topic using your particulars.
To support your adrenals you want to do:
Medrol-6mg/day
either more convenient
4mg/wakeup + 2mg/bed-time
or
3mg/wakeup + 2mg/mid-day + 1mg/bed-time
whichever will work better for you
I will post what tests to do below, combined with other tests.
======================================================
You must be 2 weeks on Medrol before implementing anything below.
You did not said what dose of Armour you doing,
lately there is a problem with Armour's reformulation and strenght, it is unpredictable and weaker that old.
We will drop Armour (gradually) and replace it with combination (T4 + T3)
that is equal to about 3grains of Armour (the old style Armour) but have little more of T3
that should help with your low body temperature
The aim (at this phase) is to get your TSH around ~0.5
But if next test discover antibody we will increase dose untill TSH<0.01
Gradually get on daily dose of (Synthroid(T4)--100mcg) + (Cytomel(T3)--50mcg)
Synthroid take once a day, Cytomel breake into 3x/day
Any generic T4 and T3 is acceptable (from pharmacy, not from internet)
Once a week have a dropefull of Lugol's solution in your cofee or any other acceptable way to make sure you have enough (just right) iodine/iodide.
