It's the extended release but its still insanely wild. I only recently got it prescribed when I started working at a desk again, but there's no question that I needed it when I was younger/in uni.

He said i could also try 20mg XR twice a day LOL. And yet he won't even consider the notion of me having low test?

I mentioned I was lucky enough to have insurance earlier, but I want to say even if I had and was poor I'd still be hosed. I've had to pay over 100 in copays so far and I haven't even seen the PT yet. All this just to get some advice on how to stretch and poo poo for a minor shoulder issue.

I got called in for my test results today and it was weird. I went in there and they just printed them out and said have a nice day. I was like "uh, so is everything okay?" and she's like "oh hang on I'll get someone" and a nurse was the one who looked at them. She's like, uh, these 2 things are high, but don't worry it just means you eat fatty foods. I was like "okay, I do eat a lot of fast food". As I was walking out the door I didn't see testosterone so I went back to the desk and was like "hey this isn't what I asked for" and they all started looking at it, like they are all experts, the receptionists and everything. Finally I got to talk to a doctor.

Testosterone just hasn't came back yet, so I'll know in a day or two. And like I suspected, the doctor asked me if I've been boozing and I told her yes. She guessed that I drank a 6 pack every day and I told her I used to, but it's been more like 3 recently and that I also lift. She said she knew lifting could raise up the ALT one, but she didn't think it could affect the AST test and that was from my boozing. She actually told me to stop worrying, it wasn't even high enough to worry about coming back to test again as long as I cut the booze down to 1 or 2. She did seem confused about the lifting part though about how much it could affect the AST one, she said in medical school they taught her S for scotch, so that's the one alcohol would make have high levels, but it doesn't really matter because I am cutting the boozing down anyway. She finally decided to take some more blood to test for the hepatitis's just to be safe. So I guess I'll know in a few more days if I have low T or Hepatitis. Although if I had hepatitis, boozed like I do(did), and lifting, I would imagine that liver enzyme test would have been through the drat roof. I think she also mentioned low test could also affect the liver enzyme levels and poo poo but I didn't really make that part out. Also I have low vitamin D.


e: I can't post the actual numbers, since I'm coming back for the other results they still have it and I'll bring it home with me then and post it for that curious guy. I'm surprised vitamin D was the only thing off, but I guess the spinach and carrots I've been blending up in my shakes along with the salads I get from chipotle have been covering my micros.

it actually went a lot better than i expected and I'm glad I finally am doing something about all this instead of procrastinating.

edit: Do gas stations sell the non/low alcoholic beer? I just realized I've been doing 2 or 3 now when I get home and spread out over a couple hours I don't really feel much anyway I just like drinking it. Do they all taste like piss? Not that I'm super picky anyway

edit again, alright I just threw it all out. If I can find the baby beer I'll drink that. No more regular beer though.

Dude, why not switch to Diet Coke/Coke Zero or something, or ginger beer, if you feel the need to drink something. The more you can get off the booze, the better it will be for you.

On alcohol chat, I had a glass of wine for the first time in ages yesterday. It was nice, but really didn't miss it.

It's true: spinal erector pumps are the worst.

If you lay down for around 5-10 minutes it goes away.

It just became a routine somehow. I was never a big drinker before. I'll find something else to occupy myself with when I'm chilling at home. I've built up a pretty big backlog in steam.

By-the-pound delis in Manhattan are great, a pound of loving steak and turkey in a bowl has a lot of grams of protein, and you pay the same as if you bought a pound of pasta
