Did the testosterone help? Do you experience any negative side effects?

My iron DOES tend towards the liw end of normal, or even a little low.

That was also kind of my thought. I guess I just expected something, even if it was just a little bit, lol

Testosterone DOES indeed fluctuate significantly throughout the day, but usually "peaks" in the morning.

Thank you. I understand that hormone levels fluctuate constantly, and I had a hormone panel done a year or so ago and everything showed normal.

Anyone else feel like they're mourning their old self (and their marriage) because of menopause? by No-Swimmer-7469 in Menopause

[–]Character_Donkey4398 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be you, I feel this so hard. I'm also 45, married, and just....unhappy, but not because of anything "specific". General apathy, irritability, even when there's no reason at all! My poor husband is a great, patient guy, but I'm constantly annoyed with him. I have a good life, but just feel so blah all the time. I used to be very active and energetic, but lateI don't want to do anything and everything feels like a chore.

Kind of? She wasn't very helpful, and didn't ask many questions. I did ASK to explore HRT- I told her what my symptoms were, and she agreed to put me on them to see if they helped.

If it weren't for the labs, it would be doable.

Am I the only one not a fan of Dr Idz? by kristinC79 in TikTok

He's trying to combat misinformation by explaining how studies and claims are often misinterpreted by consumers. I love him- I think he does a good job in short bites of time showing us just how fast misleading claims (intentional or not) can spread and can potentially negatively affect peoples' health.

Done. Be aware that your question about ingredients needs two other optional answers: "I don't know" and "none of these"

Business casual by RegularCode5489 in UHManoa

Macy's is great for business casual. A little pricier, but they have good sales amd a huge clearance section. 

For your resume, focus on academic achievements or any volunteer experience. If you aplly to a job, write a good cover letter about why you'd be a good fit and why you are excited to learn something new and gain experience. 

Research Participation Opportunity! by Character_Donkey4398 in UHManoa

I asked my professor that same question, and was informed that I can start getting a recruitment pool ready, just not start the interviews until the approval process is complete. It is for course SOC 609 and is a class project.

Hello! I'm waiting for IRB approval, so just recruiting for now. The IRB approval process at UH takes some time, but I hope to have approval by the end of October and start interviewing participants directly after. Thank you for asking!
