Lazy Nuts
 
So I kind of screwed up with getting my bloodwork done in a timely manner so I got my Nut Supplements (testopel) a month later than they were due. As it turns out my levels were much lower than ever so the doc upped my dose.

It's amazing the extent to which hormones affect one's mental space. It was such a slow decline that I didn't realize how low I had gotten until I saw my urologist. I was on the 12 hour sleep jags, feeling completely hopeless, bloated, and defeated.

What a difference a hormone http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...steron.svg.png

makes.

Guys, check your T-levels.

I'm glad you are feeling better, Foots!

What T- levels? That has passed long ago

Mine were at 60 last time I had them checked.

But I don't count. I do agree, however, that hormones tend to have a huge impact on your mental status. Once I was free of the Demon T, I felt MUCH better and positive for the first time I could remember.

You said it; and it works both ways.

The hormone antagonists only take us down negative roads, from my experience. Admittedly, this is an N of 1 experiment, but it's valid - just as foot3's is. Hormone replacements still need work, but in spite of that, of those who try them, many or most move closer to who they were before.

We don't do so well without our respective hormones. It's not surprising that many of us don't want to be deprived of something essential.

Damn. Mine were 160 before my recent implant. No wonder I felt so out of it. I still wasn't into wearing dresses though. I don't have the figure for it. ;)

What is N of 1 for those of us too lazy to google?

It means there's only one subject. I.e. "In my case", "In your case", "In his case"....

In research reports, N is usually used to denote the number of things studied.

orthodoc 03-31-2014 10:29 AM

One subject, and you are your own control before and after the experimental treatment.
