[QUOTE="neel, post: 71546, member: 15725"] No, no history of Alzheimers. Both parents still have excellent memory. In fact, only one hypothyroid aunt has bad memory. I had a brilliant memory till about age 7, never seen anyone that good again. And then it went downhill fast... eyesight, memory, energy level, handwriting, maths, languages... and although I think I'm retarded, everyone still thinks I'm a genious, so maybe I managed to retain some of my intellect. The lethargy has probably been since birth. My earliest memories (age 4 or so) are of always being tired and depressed. Dad says I had overly soft bones at age 1 and used to always sleep like a log. I have knock knees and bad teeth (yellow and molar cavities). The molar cavities stopped at puberty. [Also, there is a history of nicotine use on my father's side. Granpa quit smoking and used snuff. Uncle was a smoker. Uncle's son smokes a lot. My sister smokes. I smoked lightly in 2004, 2006, 2008-2009. Never got addicted and quit. Unlike nicotine gum, smoking increases my headaches.] Here's additional data.. I tried tamoxifen yesterday and it increased my muscle pain (in about 30 minutes). Clomiphene had reduced it day before. My muscles are not cramping anymore, since it's now been a while since the sustanon, but intermittent pains still remain.
