Hello everyone,

I’m back at it. I suffer chronic serious health concerns that old heads may or may not remember me by. I erased ALL my old content for security reasons. I was young and way to detailed.

I’m happy to say I’m actually healthier then I was 7 years ago when I was active and that is a big deal considering I have an autoimmune disease that is progressive and lethal. I actually was able to BEAT INTO remission one of my main health concerns which was “gastroparesis” it took ALMOST FOUR YEARS! I am now able to eat what I want, meats included WITHOUT any gastroparesis medication or vomiting. I don’t get sick ever when it was like 10+ times daily back then, crippled me.

This is a big deal and I was on clear liquid diet for the first YEAR of recovery, after almost dying in hospital ICU. While there I suffered muscle wasting and was released losing 40lbs down to 135lbs, now naturally I’m back to my healthy weight at 175-77lbs @6ft.

I will be doing my second Test cycle in the coming months. I am now on TRT due to failure of my pituitary related to my autoimmune disease. I have constant over watch with blood tests (ea. 90 days and endocrinologist treatment) (although they would kill me if they knew what I was up to)…I also have my own healthcare background professionally as I studied nursing (but didn’t finish my last years of clinical RN, went to ICU from the above Gastroparesis) it ruined that part of my life! I never have given up and I won’t now!

Welcome back brother! I know it doesn’t compare, but until I was about 19 I suffered from cyclic vomiting. Killed my confidence and progression even when force feeding ya never knew what would stay down. Embarrassing being a senior and having to run to a trash can or out of class because of it. Thankfully it just became less and less- can’t even remember when my last bout was. Prayers for you and glad you’re better!
