7/29 - More Down than Up, Supportive Care

Since my hypothermia episode on Sunday I have been fighting fatigue, fever and nausea. Only today did I feel alert and and have no trouble eating.

Jane and I saw Dr. Del Fabbio in Supportive Care today after they took some blood tests to see if there was something else holding me down. The thyroid test came back normal. The only deficiency noted in the other bloodwork was that I was marginal on vitamin D so the Dr. suggested that I get a little more sun exposure. No Problem. The testosterone test takes 5 days so we won't get results until next week. We talked about options if it was low ranging from testosterone replacement to anabolic steroids.

Here's to better days ahead.
