Believe.

Amazing.

I can’t describe it any other way.

Those following my blog will remember I have recently been diagnosed with low testosterone. Today was my first shot of Depotest – an anabolic steroid. If I were to sit here and describe the differences in my body compared to 24-hours ago, this would be my longest blog entry yet. My Doctor is a genius!

Within an hour of the shot, my voice deepened some, and my muscles began losing some of their inflammation. I laid down for a nap, and woke up, and I’m so amazed by how I feel, I keep pinching myself to verify it’s real.

It’s real. My roomie and I go on walks a couple times a week. Tonight, I followed our path, swung my arms the whole way, walked at an almost-jogging pace, and (because I was walking fast) finished in about 70% of our normal time.

I didn’t stop for a break ONCE. I had gotten so bad lately, that I was stopping for at least three breaks. Jeeeeeeesh . . One day . . . Just one day’s time did all of this . .

I’m not one to advocate the use of medication to treat problems, but this time, I was fucking wrong. It truly is MY miracle drug.

Low testosterone, in my case, was caused by Hemochromatosis (too much iron in my blood). I have pretty little iron filings in my brain- plugging up my pituitary gland, the one responsible for signaling the creation of Testosterone.

Until we can get the lil’ Iron filings out of my brain, I’ll count my lucky stars (and syringes!)

Peace.
