I've never really understood the term 'malaise' until now. I'm about to reach my third month on HRT and it is the only term that really captures what I'm feeling. I just feel like I've been weakened by an illness and am in a permanent state of recovery. Nothing is mental, my determination or resolve is undiminished, but my body feels like it isn't keeping up and is permanently creaking, aching, just generally in a state of meh!
Is it normal to feel like this at this stage? Is this one more thing to push on through or should I be concerned? I have my post 3 month appointment with the endo at the end of October, but only my general practitioner to speak to in the meantime (who pretty much has admitted he has no idea about this stuff - and told me if I'm worried to stop the medication...)

If it is physical and not emotional, then I'd guess your T levels are crashing. You're probably due for another blood workup which will tell. Or, you got some Martian Death Flue like I had a few weeks back which took several weeks to finally abate
