Wow, that's interesting. I live in a part of NY that has pretty much the same climate as South Jersey. I have been an outside construction worker my whole life, so climate conditions or mold would not be my first idea. But the way these allergies just seem to come out of nowhere as we age I will...

Last night I stopped eating all the dairy products from my diet. This is a big deal for me because I eat a lot of cheese, whole milk yogurt with no flavoring, and put half and half in about three cups of coffee daily. I am going to replace it with eggs, I don't eat them on a daily basis...

Now that I have a baseline of lab results, I am confident I can make adjustments that should show up in lab results. I am officially on a TRT beginning delay of 6 months. The diet part is simplified for my case because of the intermittent fasting/one meal that I do anyway. I am going to up my...

Glucose level plummets...Testosterone level soars. Check. Got it.

Yeah, the more I look into it the more it seems that this could have relationships to everything I am concerned about. I also have a thread about this mysterious itching that has been bothering me for the last 2 years or so. I am someone who can eat pretty blandly and not have it bother me. I...

I guess Jim Fixx....shoulda got it fixed

I just had A1C done in another test. It's not covered under this one as well? Some of the things overlap. Anyway my A1C level is 5.6. Which is the higher end of normal.

Cutting back on anything wouldn't bother me at all. I don't really have any type of mental connection to any of my foods that I can't just manipulate it the way I want to. In other words it's not like I crave carbs or sweets. But I'm not convinced that's the reason for a high glucose level in my...

I wouldn't doubt if my testosterone levels are down for this blood test. After I get some more input I'll probably go into that why I think that may be.

Not supplementing with anything at the moment other than a multivitamin. I dropped everything else about 6 months ago, trying to pinpoint my itchy skin problem ( another thread of mine, if you search). I have never done any type of supplementation that I would consider to be a heavy-duty...

Enclosed is my blood test data. Someone please let me know if this posts correctly, I am doing it from my phone which isn't my first choice. Thank you!

I tried a prescription medicated shampoo for a while that really had no effect at all. And yes I do wear a hat at work so the sun is really not a factor in damaging my scalp. And I have done this pretty much since my teens. I have a pretty good head of hair especially considering my age. A good...

Yeah, this kinda sucks. I developed an allergy to shrimp, which I love, in my twenties it's not a severe thing but it's just not worth the itchy stuffy feeling I get in my mouth and nose when it occasionally happens. But it's not enough to turn something away if someone has gone out of their way...
