Not having the greatest day. My doc office called and said they are stopping my hormone replacement therapy (200mg of test cyp every other week) and referring me to a nephrologist (kidney doc) because my BUN levels and creatinine levels are high (they didn't tell me my levels) as of my last blood test last friday. And I was hoping they would up my dosage. I'm not terribly worried about my kidneys, as from what I've read, BUN levels are directly proportional to your protein intake, and creatinine levels being higher can indicate that you're carrying more muscle, but I'm pissed that the doc doesn't know this. Test cyp (from what I've read) shouldn't cause any kidney problems anyway. In fact, deca is prescribed for people on dialysis to increase their muscle mass.

And this call was after I got back from the ortho to have my thumb (that I hurt 11 days ago) looked at. Found out I fractured it in a couple places, but at least they didn't want to put a cast on it or anything.

Keepyour head up bro, hopefully the Kidney specialist will get you squared away and you'll get your increase. Nothing sucks worse than a soar thumb, can't do shit without your thumbs.

Thanks guys. The soar thumb does suck. Wanna hear something funny? The hardest/most painful thing is trying to wipe my ass, for some reason! I know, tmi.

If it wasn't bad already, had to cut my leg workout short due to knee pain. When it rains, it pours, I guess. On a positive note, my wolfpack beat duke tonight!
