Just got a call from the hospital again about my 2 test results from last week. More bad news
My LHRH test was within normal guidelines. My base testosterone levels are extremely low but the stimulation test was fine. So I'm not sure why my base testosterone levels are so low. My next appointment with the head endocrinologist is on the 15th of November so I'll hear more about that then.
The reason they called me in advance is because of the results of the other test.
Earlier this month blood tests showed that my cortisol ("stress hormone") levels are very low. Last week they did an insulin tolerance test to stimulate the cortisol production and see how the cortisol responds. The test is basically injecting insulin to lower your blood sugar to very low levels to induce a lot of internal stress in the body. In a normal person, loads of cortisol should be produced to counter the hypoglycemia.
As it turns out, my results for that test were "extremely low", to use the words of the specialist. Normally my body should have produced loads of cortisol but I performed far below normal guidelines.
They're gonna mail me a prescription for 10mg of hydrocortison per day so I can already start it tomorrow. At this point I have a longer medication list at 22 years old than most of the elderly people I worked with as a nursing student
Not sure how severe this cortisol problem is but I guess I'll find out next Tuesday on my appointment to discuss the test results.
They're also ordering a scan of my brain on December 8th. Given the test results, they now think something is wrong with my pituitary gland in my brain.
Sometimes I feel like like I'm some sort of science experiment with everything that is horribly wrong in my body
Asked me to come over last night, but I made an excuse saying I couldn't. Asking me to come over again tonight, trying really hard to say no. Don't want her to feel bad about herself or anything, resisting free and new yambs is so damn difficult. The issue is that she's local so if I hit it won't be a one time thing. If you know you won't get caught, would you still do it. Anyone have experience with having a side chick ? And does it affect your relationship negatively ?
you'll get through this soon, stay strong.
Whoever recommend that Scientology Doc on HBO I watched it
Man are they crazy
Forgive me for my ignorance but.....info?
A good relationship isn't worth ruining over 15-20 minutes of poontang. It will possibly ruin your gf's self esteem because she might think she's not good enough, or that she did something to make you betray her. Hurting the person you love over a little fun? Yeah, don't do it.
Once you break her trust, your relationship will never be the same. She won't trust you completely anymore.
