Roller coasters make life interesting. I've had my own and at the very least I can say it's not boring lol. Closing on the house probably trumps all right now!
Do you think one of them is using gear pt. 2

In dollars maybe but I bet the memories are priceless. Especially if you take that bad boy off the beaten path

I've jumped the bitch before lol.
Came down off a snowy mountain and found that the access road on the other side was only plowed so far.
They had built up a snow wall about 3' high to deter people from trying to climb the mountain.
I had already done so and wasn't about to turn around.
FULL SPEED AHEAD in second gear.
Those tires DEFINITELY came off the ground....
I've done more stupid shit in that vehicle than any other I've ever owened.
Up on 2 wheels through corners? Check
Racing around town with basically a tractor? Check
Driven with only 2 wheels studs? Check
No sway bars? Check
Slicks in winter? Check
Tornado like spins on public roads? Check
90mph in a vehicle only meant to go about 75? Check
Drifting? Also check.
The list goes on.

Yeah, my lab partner wanted to do our physics practical labs at 9 this morning, which meant gym at 5am. Talk about a hard start! But I'm limping around, so I know I got the job done right.
Not necessarily. Unfortunately the pituitary gland can do all sorts of crazy stuff since it has control over so many different hormones. Giantism is actually one of the rarer occurrences, while hyperprolactinemia is far more common. Your goofy LH/FSH problem must be pretty rare as I hadn't seen anything like that before in my couple years of reading papers on stuff like that. I do hope they find something conclusive that has an easy fix.
I'd much rather know than be in the dark personally, but that's me.
I'd imagine that you'll make it to 200mg/wk given your body size. Of course it all depends on the doc and how high they allow their patients to go with total testosterone too. I remember one doc that was happy as long as the patients weren't hypogonadal anymore. I'm sorry, but 350ng/dL levels WITH injections the rest of your life? No, I don't think so.

Look on the bright side: If you were on tren right now, there would be some dead people in the paper lol.

I love this post lol.

I had to tell my girl what they were thinking, I didn't want to keep her in the dark and blind-side her if these tests showed up something. She's scared shitless because she watched her sister lose her first husband to brain cancer.

The bloods I took this morning were the first time anyone has though to check prolactin.
Kinda crazy eh?
They're also running cortisol tests, both serum and 24hour urine as well as a litany of other tests.
I dropped everything I was taking so hopefully the T3 they're testing for won't come up too high.
I could play that off as they were palpitating my thyroid for a while yesterday.

Thats exactly where I want to be actually, 200mg/wk.
They said they don't adjust test dosing by bodyweight which I find completely odd.
200mg/e2w @ 12years old and 130lbs does not behave the same way it does at my age and 240lbs.
We both know how to deal with that though

That's an amazing checklist for the Jeep hahaha. I love it. One time my cousin and I were helping his girl move back to school in Brooklyn, NY. I had my brothers car and my cousin drove with me and his now ex had her car. Her dad was a NY State Trooper so we weren't worried about tickets or anything and flew down 684 to the Hutch, and finally got on FDR Drive In manhattan to get to the Brooklyn bridge. One lane is extremely uneven and has enormous dips. Would you like to guess what happens to a 1998 Toyota Camry when you go over a 3-4ft dip at 90+mph? If you guessed all four wheels off the ground, 2-3seconds of airtime and weightlessness, and crashing down hard enough to blow the bump stops in the struts you guess correctly lol. I do stupid shit in my Subie all the time too. She's so much fun in the winter

Yeah, I wouldn't panic yet. The incidence of malignant tumors is REALLY low in these cases. If I remember correctly, the operations to correct these (if they even feel it necessary) are pretty quick and painless too. Of course there is always a risk of complications with ANY surgery, but it's pretty minimal from what I understand.
Wow, they're JUST NOW checking prolactin/cortisol? I'm actually pretty surprised to be honest. Then again, my doctor has NEVER checked prolactin or cortisol; I just do it myself and thank him for the script.
Maybe one of these days I'll start seeing a doctor that has a clue, but till then I'll just keep doing my thing. 
Wow. Unless you're a hyper-responder, I can't see why they would feel that way. Ultra-conservative docs maybe?Thats exactly where I want to be actually, 200mg/wk.

You know a bit of my story, it's just one doctor battle after another.
I wanted them to test cortisol/prolactin in the past, I even printed out a sheet of tests I wanted done.
The endo refused to run any of them citing his reputation. That was the last time I saw that clown.
I WISH I lived in a place that was legal to do direct blood work.
My gym has a blood drawing station attached to it that I can't use due to legal issues.
It's just a very slow road with these guys.
If they bump me to 150mg/wk I'll be happy for a while.
If that happens, it will be the first time in my entire life that they were willing to adjust dosages.
One odd thing they want me to do is stop injecting every 3.5d and go back to once/week.
Screw that.

Yep, definitely lucky you're not on tren lol. The last time I had a doctor tell me that he wasn't going to do as I asked got a really nasty look of death from me and didn't see me again. How does ordering a panel effect someone's reputation? Are the labcorp folks going to alert the media that Doctor Joe Blow Md listened to his patient and take away his asshole card? Stuff drives me insane!
You definitely have my sympathy man. I'm pretty chill, but I'm sure I would have choked a bitch by now.

Gotta play the game brother, you know how it goes.
Can you believe they want me to stop injecting every 3.5days?

Seriously? Why?! You should print out a plot of E7D versus E14D versus E3.5D just to show them how much flatter the curve is; giving less estradiol problems. Mind = blown.

Yep, they don't service my state.
LEF does have their draw kits they send through the mail but their tests are insanely expensive.
Chemistry panel (complete metabolic panel with lipids)
CBC
DHEA-S
DHT
Estradiol
PSA
Pregnenolone
Total and Free Testosterone
Sex Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG)
TSH
Free T3
Cost: $398.66 unless you want to pay $75 for an annual membership which brings it down to $299.
That is the only direct blood lab I've been able to find that services my asshole state.
Yep, 100% serious.
I don't think they understand half-lives, they just said that "it lasts longer than 4d".
No shit sherlocks, I'm trying to minimize swings and told them that.
I'm not going to do it though, it's just stupid.
Oh and never once did they offer to test for E2....
The worst part is that these doctors are part of my state's best and largest hospital.

We'll let me know when you're coming for a visit and get blood work done 'the right way' here lol. I'll pick you up and we can go lift some heavy ass shit, smoke some nargeelah or lettuce, watch Katt Williams DVD's in my bed together

I've been thinking about my crayon problem all wrong!
I've been trying to add ink to wax when it should be the other way round.
Right now the process has been dehydrating and pulverizing the ink into powder and mixing it into melted paraffin. It works but it's also very labor (read $$) intensive.
What I'm going to try instead is; mixing/heating the ink itself letting the moisture and solvents evaporate.
Then I'll start incorporating the paraffin slowly while the moisture in the ink continues to evaporate.
Eventually the theory is that the original moisture in the ink will be replaced with the paraffin wax while it's still hot. When it cools, the wax solidifies and the entire thing turns into a crayon.
Too bad I don't have time to test that theory today.

You sir are such a charmer.
I wouldn't mind paying you a visit some day.
