January 5, 2012 Blood Work
First, my apologies for taking so long to get this up. I had to cancel the blood draw scheduled for for December (twice) due to being busy. That same busy-ness has kept me from posting. First, the new news: I’m off my cabergoline. I was taking .25 mg weekly (down from a high of 1.5 [...]
Sometimes I get mail
A week or so ago I went to Williamsburg to help my brother do some post-hurricane-Irene rebuilding. (Well, and to visit, mostly.)

Blood Work – June 2, 2011
As always, you can find the record of my blood work history – from July 2001 to present – in this Hormone Table. Blood was drawn on a Thursday morning prior to my weekly meds so I should have had the least bit of Cabergoline in me as possible. I continue to take .25 mg [...]

Low T? There’s an app for that.
As much as anything I wanted to post that title as when I came across this item that’s the first thing I thought of. The item is a book: Testosterone for Life : Recharge Your Vitality, Sex Drive, Muscle Mass, and Overall Health by Abraham Morgentaler 3.0.3 for iPhone It’s a book available for the [...]
Diet and Testosterone
I’ve mentioned, in one of my personal posts, that prior to finding out I had a pituitary tumor, but after I knew I had low testosterone, I read Lou Schuler’s The Testosterone Advantage Plan. The book described ways a man could naturally increase his testosterone through diet and exercise. As I recall, Schuler had scientific [...]
