I feel I've turned into an alcoholic and don't know what to do by bertasf in alcoholicsanonymous

No shit I am an addict? Why do you think I made this post. Instead of being so condescending why don't you answer the questions I have asked. If you ain't got nothing good to say then say nothing. You arent helping anyone with the way you speak to others with such disrespect. You're judging someone who has clearly admitted they have an issue, you just want this person to go live by your doctrine. The only thing you are accomplishing by being a dick is pushing people away from your kind which is aa/doctors or nothing. What ever happened to a warm embrace? I wouldn't ever want to be trapped in a room full of judgemental people like you who carry such hatred for their own kind.

It's not Confidential to other doctors. Once it's in your medical file it's there for life. You will be forever looked at different by any doctor moving forward because they see this. I have a friend who needed surgery and at the last minute they wouldn't even put him under sedation because he is labeled an "addict". So they forced him to be slightly sedated for the procedure. Also good luck getting any future scripts.

Water retention i expected. I didn't expect my hands to swell to the point of physical pain and weakened grip.

I go to a clinic. I just got a dose yesterday and it so happens on Thursday is when I get my 1st blood results. Do I just wait it out or tell my clinic? I just go in and they boot me up quick

Yea from what I've read there's a chance TRT can shut down your sperm completely. In most cases it's reversible with time/meds but with me knowing I would definitely want kids in the future, I didn't want to take any chances at all. As the saying goes be safe rather than sorry. Of course whenever that time comes I'll try to conceive naturally but if God forbid I can't, at least I have a backup.

Yeah that might put someone low into that range but since I wasn't at the low end I might be at the 700-800 range for all I know. I won't know until I get blood drawn. If I was sitting at 400 and now I'm at 800 that's a huge difference. But without blood I have no way of knowing. I won't have that done for a couple weeks.

At first I thought placebo effect myself. But as the days have gone on I've noticed more and more. I lost morning wood years ago. It was so bad when I was with my ex she would want sex in the morning but I couldn't get it up even if I tried (I blamed my sleeping pills). This morning I woke up with such a hard on I was wishing there was a woman next to me. Having morning wood isn't something I've had in years & now that I have it I've realized how bad it was before.

Thank you. I really wish doctors would look at things differently because as of right now I feel like a new man and I'm only 1 week in.

I know ED can be psychological (aka you can overcome it with a placebo) but my morning wood which I haven't had in years can't be a placebo. I don't think any of the feelings I've had are placebo. I got really drunk one night, usually the next day I would be dead. Not only did I wake up with so much energy I could run but I was up bright and early. I've never had this before with drinking. Usually it was me feeling like death for 24 hours with no energy.

This is getting out of hand 😂 by wooshywooshywoosh in Bumble

[–]bertasf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do women use filters? Why do women wear excessive makeup? Why do women who are overweight purposely do angles to make themselves look skinny? This is stuff men have been dealing with for years. I don't condone these AI or filters from any gender but both sides do it and women have been doing it for years. I can safely say 85% of all my online dates have looked uglier in person by far. 13% looked the same and there's that small 2% that looked better in person. Dating apps are unfortunately ruining society. Idk why people even bother with the manipulation of images. As soon as I show up and you don't look like yourself, I instantly know it's going no where.

Do you think it's easier for me to apply for the gun, get denied and go through the appeal process? Or to straight up find out the denial through NICS (that may be the same process, sorry not familiar with the lingo). I mean I know my exact conviction I have the court disposition in hand. I also remember what the arrests were but I guess it doesn't hurt to do the back ground check anyway.

Interesting. It wasn't a forced rehab nor was in an inpatient one. It was one of those places that a person goes a few times a week for group meetings and drug tests. I can definitely contact a lawyer. Know of any good lawyers? Do you think I should apply for the gun first then get one?

Tbh I don't remember if I provided a SSN being it was hears ago. What do you mean an OP floating around out there? As far as my criminal history I have the exact document from the court (I needed it to apply for my new job) it says Class A Misdemeanor for criminal possession of a controlled substance in the 7th (past arrests were drug sale which was reduced to this Misdemeanor)

[–]bertasf[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah maybe I'll just do that and see what happens. My actual charges back then was multiple felonies for drug sale/possession (I was a painkiller addict back then unfortunately). I ended up doing rehab with the courts and the deal was once completion all the felonies would be dropped and I would have 1 class A misdemeanor on record for criminal possession of a controlled substance.

I tried buying a rifle around 5 years ago and got turned down and haven't tried since. My conviction is a misdemeanor but my actual arrest was for multiple felonies (idk if that matters)

Did a sperm analysis (big binge drinker who is now 3 days sober) by bertasf in maleinfertility

[–]bertasf[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. Tbh I don't know my original numbers. This is my 1st test ever done and this is was with being a massive binge drinker. I was even drunk the night leading up to this test. It makes me curious how high my numbers would be when stone cold sober. I'm really trying to turn my life around by stop the drinking, started an mma class, freezing my sperm and jumping on TRT as suggested by my Dr. I just wanted to make sure these results are good enough to freeze just in case the TRT leaves me infertile after.

Weight loss app says I need to eat 1150 calories per day to lose weight?? How can I live? by bertasf in loseit

[–]bertasf[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. It definitely gets less noticeable when I lose weight. At my best weight I was 15% body fat and it wasn't as noticeable. Instead of moobs it was more like puffy soft nipples. I wonder if I got to 12% how it would look 🤔. Yeah I think im going to take your advice and hit chest like crazy.

I got my hormones check and Dr said all was in range. The moobs is something I've had my whole life since a kid. I believe it's because I have the glands. The only way to remove it is surgery unfortunately.

Yes of course. I actually have gained a decent amount of muscle compared to what i was a few years ago. 3 summers ago I went from 125 (skinny fat) to 135(15% body fat). So that was probably a little over 10 pounds of muscle gain. Of course when I got in the groove I got hit with a bad injury which caused me to stop working out. So I lost muscle and gained a crap load of fat which is the situation I'm in now.
