Not sore today, unlike Monday’s workout. Blood test results from Wednesday showed t level of 765 ng/dl on standard scale for my age of 249 to 836, so I’m “normal”. I feel absolutely great, I’m regaining most of my former workaholic nature. However, a rough day produces evening tiredness. Guess I’m still human/wanna be superman. I’m encouraging dr to increase dose a bit more for tiredness.

My 53 year old law partner is thinking about trt because he’s mostly dead tired daily and is getting fat. He’s nevertheless a workaholic. I was too at that age, I think he’s noticed a change in my mood, my increased revenue production, and my increased business aggressiveness.

Blood test this week registered test at 745, well within standard range of 260 to 850. I feel absolutely great but for late afternoon tiredness. I suggested increasing dose to about 0.7cc/wk. Dr said leave it alone awhile because this reading was in upper end of standard range. So, I’ll just keep on keeping on. People at the large pharmacy I use are starting to recognize me.

I’m glad you are having great results. How is your sleep?

Sleeping is great. Deep. Takes about 45 seconds to pass out and I stay asleep with about one call of nature until I wake up fully alert for the day.
