wish me luck!

Have had two sets of various blood tests from an MD over the past 6 weeks which came back with odd results. He referred me to an endocrinologists who took more blood for more precise and exotic tests. Some of my hormones are _way_ low, namely testosterone, which he said in men can and do cause sleep disorders, wild mood swings, libido issues, loss of muscle mass, gain of fat, extreme tiredness, etc. _All_ of which I have been experiencing over the past year or so. So, this afternoon I go for a MRI scan of my lower brain/pituitary gland to see if that's buggered up and somethings growing there that's not supposed to be there. If not, he'll but me on some medicinal therapy to get hormones back in sync to where they should be and I am hoping that will make me more stable and more able to exercise abit more self control. Both docs know about my (past) drinking and agreed that having this condition at the same time certainly couild not have helped things....
More to follow...
