Stopped by to see the doctor yesterday to get my sugar checked and prescriptions refilled. Sugar's down and the B was 110/60, so he was pleased with that. The surgical site, though still not completely healed, is certainly on track according to him, so all in all it was a good visit...except... When he had 'em draw my blood, he did a bunch of tests, including one to check my testosterone levels. Seems a feller my age ought to have levels recorded from 350 to 1,100 to be considered normal. My level came back 150!!! I couldn't believe it! It drops much more I'll be lactating!!! He said not to worry, it isn't uncommon, but it certainly helps explain why it's so hard for me to lose weight, why I'm so tired all the time, and why I fell asleep on the last Victoria's Secret tv special... So, he called in a drug called Androgel, I'm suppose to rub on my skin to pick them levels up to where they need to be. Said I'll be more energetic and gonner be more easier for me to stick to diets and well...Mr Wiggly's gonna come out of retirement, lol. Any of ya'll familiar with this?

Toby, if I could figure out how to send you some surplus testosterone, it'd be in the mail after bit. Been plucking so many whiskers lately that I'm positive I can tell you just how Christ felt when they plucked his beard. Getting to that point in life where estrogen levels plummit. I got a problem though that I can't take any of the estrogen supplement stuff. Either natural or synthetic. Part has to do with being a DES daughter. Rest is intollerance/allergy to their ingredients. What foods are recommended to help with levels dropping are also foods I have problems with (soy, fish oil, salmon, tuna).

Faith, we're just opposite sides of the same hormnal coin, lol. If we could switch hormone levels we'd be just fine, lol.
