| You should probably get various medical conditions ruled out. Beyond that, it sounds like it might be a permutation of pelvic floor dysfunction, for which there is physical therapy and occupational therapy for. |

| It sounds like acrocyanosis, which is nothing to worry about per se. Capillaries constrict in the relatively cold water and deoxygenated blood pools a bit. More likely to happen in people who are very lean. There was some published observations back in the 80's postulating that acrocyanosis was more... |

| I regularilty feel like I got hit by a freight train. Unfortunately, that's the norm for me. I always feel tired no matter how much sleep I get and I've become very sensitive to pressure changes in the atmosphere, it's gotten to the point where I can smell when a storm is coming. It's strange I kno... |

No. Type 1 diabetes is autoimmune. Adrenal hormones associated with stress will decrease insulin sensitivity; but, it's transient.
Certainly do manage stress appropriately. |

I have a few questions about your own experience/knowledge with/of the drugs... Are their any anti-depressants that don't make you gain weight? Or even loose weight? Do ... |

| Andrology is fairly complex. Was the above value a morning value, or close to whenever you normally get out of bed? That would be the peak value. Other issues are how sensitive your androgen receptors are and your level of dihydrotestosterone, which is more potent. Yes, there are drugs that modulat... |

| OP - So what exactly are your current free test levels? I had it checked a few years ago and it was in the low normal range. I forget the exact number. If its important, I can go look it up. EDIT: Ok, looked it up. The test was Total Testosterone and the value was 417. The normal reference range is... |

If the finishing times in Tuscaloosa this year are anything like they were last year I don't think making Team USA would be the hardest thing I ever did. That is huge actually.
