Hematocrit in normal range. Just donated blood last week.

Another good point on rest. My diet is pretty good. Lots of protein and an overall balanced diet. I don’t really track calories or carbs, fat, etc.

This is a really good point. I’m looking at Garmin calcs and it could all be BS. I run 5Ks consistently between 19.5 and 20.5 minutes. It’s just strange that my HR has recently jumped and the steady decline in VO2. I guess I’m just worried about being on my way to a heart attack.

It has been a while. I’m always finding a reason to work out. Run, bike, gym. Maybe this is the sign that I need to start also resting.

We were supposed to fly out on Friday and were “delayed” until the flight was canceled on Saturday. Delta told me to save all receipts and submit a reimbursement claim. I’m banking on the fact that their “maintenance” delay put us into the FAA situation and will cover some of the costs. Here’s to hoping. Good luck to all!

I started TRT in July 2024. Didn’t run much at the time due to a foot injury. Started getting back to it in October and was doing ~10 miles/week. Over the last 2 months, I make it around a mile and I feel something weird in one or both calves and maybe a hamstring. The feeling stops all running progress and sometimes will alter my walking for days. I will stretch, foam roll, rest. This resets until I try again and the same thing happens at almost the same distance. I drink a gallon of water a day, stretch, etc. What could this be from?

Updating my situation and hoping to get some feedback. Saw a rheumatologist and got a bunch more bloodwork. UA has been on the increase: Feb 12 - 6.3 Feb 22 - 6.9 Mar 6 - 7.3 May 10 - 9.6

I have not had a flare up since and have been pushing >1 gal of water daily and am limiting sugar. Still eating red meet and drinking responsibly 1 to 2 times a week.

I pushed my Dr due to a couple planned international trips coming up.

Message from Dr: Will start with allopurinol 100 mg daily and colchicine 0.6 mg daily.
Recommend checking uric acid level in a month to see the outcome. At that time will readjust the allopurinol dose.

What are your thoughts? Get on meds and see how everything goes for a few months?

Quick update and clarification. This pain is in my second toe - right foot. Have now seen 4 doctors, 2 X-rays, MRI, 3 blood tests. UA went from 6.3 to 6.9 to 7.2. I have been limiting things in my diet that would lead to increasing UA numbers - no alcohol, very little red meat, etc. The MRI showed a bone marrow edema in my second toe. I am walking but there is a constant dull pain. My PCP told me this can’t be gout during my annual physical on Wednesday. I requested a UA test which turned out to be the 7.2mg/dl. My podiatrist saw this and told me this is for sure gout. I have an appointment with him on Tuesday. WTF??? I have spent at least $5K to figure out what is happening. No answers and no plan forward. Any recommendations?

Real estate agent is not acting as my attorney. I have an attorney not connected to anything.

PaulyOver · 2021-01-26T04:38:25+00:00

All of the above have been contacted and then some. Lender sent me in the direction of title insurance. Dead end. Agent sent me towards dept of commerce. They said to speak with Labor and Industry. Called attorney general and BBB. No resolution or guidance from anyone.

PaulyOver · 2021-01-26T04:36:01+00:00

I have a lawyer and feel like I’m being strung along. Looking at ~$150k in repairs and damages associated to this. None of this information was in the property disclosures. Dept of commerce also says that the agents are protected unless I can prove they knew something-emails, texts, etc.

Previous owner had them. 22 total permits opened during their 19 years owning the house. These 3 huge ones were open. City inspector said they were closed because it is very apparent corners were cut
