Sorry to have vanished here, folks. Work flared up and I also found myself traveling to London for about a week, which was delightful other than the fact that I found myself working my normal 12 hour day on London time, followed by demanding calls from my boss in California that had me at it another 6 hours or so. It was a pretty rough stretch but I did manage to see some friends, have some nice meals, and walk around one of my favorite cities. The weather was great -- about 65 degrees (fahrenheit) and mostly sunny.
Anyhow, I'm back now, and will try to contribute with a bit more regularity!
I did want to point out that I made the switch -- inadvertently, due to running out of the large 500mg pills -- to 250mg pills of magnesium. I take four of these, rather than two of the big ones. They're the size of a plain ol' vitamin C pill versus the horse pills that are the 500mg versions.
The results on the GI tract appear to be a bit less extreme than the 500mg versions, so that's a good discovery and something to keep in mind.
In mojo news, I endured a particularly painful shot of testosterone in the gluteus maximus that stung like a mofo (not to be confused with mojo) for about ten days. I had the residual ache from the bone marrow on the left side, and the sting from the shot (a first, after five months of no-big-dealness) on the right. I felt like I needed one of those inflatable butt cushions to sit on. The bigger issue was sleeping -- couldn't lie down on either side or roll over at all without it hurting.
Fortunately, it went away. But today I have to go see the urologist again for another shot. Even worse, I have to consult with him since its been six months. "Consult with urologist" is a polite way of saying something probative (in the biological sense) is probably going to happen. Gulp.
I also have purchased, but not yet taken, this Maca root stuff. I'll ask the doctor about that today and hope to dissuade him from other aspects of the exam.
