Hi everyone
I'm 32 years old, 6'1" , 206 lbs, 13% BF
Just want to introduce myself
I'm 2yrs sober and have been training for about the same. I like to think im "born again"! Recently went to doctor, due to the fact that even being 100% clean and sober for 2 years and I feel like shit! Absolutely zero energy, lethargic, zero sex drive(libido), super emotional (mostly sad and irritated). I had only 4 basic test ran (that I read from this site) that were crucial to have some idea of where my levels stood. Besides my dhea and test being both on the low but "in range" level - my estrogen was super high! Like off the charts high!
After obviously being concerned I decided to go to some professionals for further evaluation. This clinic I have just started had me donate 7 or 8 vials of blood! The results are still out and are supposed to be back in 10 days from being drawn. This took place last Monday so I'm hoping to hear something this next week!
I'm both excited and nervous to hear the results. I'm excited to see if there is a way to make me feel better. To feel like I'm alive. To have energy and drive. I'm am also nervous of obviously getting back some bad news. Something terminal or what have you. Trust me guys...I know what it feels like to feel like shit as I did it for nearly 15 yrs! My doctor and I are thinking that the years of using opiates has taking its toll! Apparently long term use of pain killers can wreck havoc on ones Endo system! Who knew?
Anyhow, I'm not declaring myself a victim be ANY means as I have the opportunity to change all that! Man I'm pumped! Kinda. Lol
Not sure if I am allowed to paste the name of the clinic or the doctor that is treating me. As I would like to hear of any reviews one may have. Also, not sure of any treatment plan as of yet. Not even sure what we are treating! All I do know is something ain't right.
Well that's enough ranting "for now". Wish me luck and hope this all works out.
