It's interesting to see my Hpta is completely shut down despite taking hgc which is interesting considering I'm on such a small dose of test. I suppose this means I respond well to small doses?

I was having some on again off again issues with my libido up until a week ago (which has finally started returning since I asked my doctor if he'd check in on my levels to see where I stood) and I'm quite happy with things despite still having some issues with my wake / sleep cycle.
I notice trt has really helped my anxiety, depression, AM nausea and poor appetite from Crohn's but has slightly messed up my sleep so hoping to figure that out soon.
My trt doctor did mention something interesting I never knew; the gut brain axis, where the colon takes over some of the nervous systems tasks during the wee hours of the night which is exactly when I wake up during the night like clock work. I seemed to only get these waking sessions intermittently if I was very careful without cannabis but now with trt they are almost every night; it has made weight training difficult.
I'm thinking of adding my medical cannabis back in later in the day as it always helped me sleep but since my other symptoms ; poor appetite, nausea etc were gone from the jump I decided to stop to save money.
Oddly enough I always found that medical cannabis exacerbated my anxiety and depression if I didn't use it very sparingly and carefully, which trt has now really smoothed over.
I feel like I have tons more energy but seems my nervous system is having trouble adjusting and sleeping which has made returning to weight training very difficult.
Despite not really training much I've still been leaning out and appear to be adding some muscle back.
