Hey guys, listen up; I'm gonna post this thread since I recently learned of this "condition", and wanted to get all opinions. But before I do, I want you all if you could to try & observe the following guidelines:
1) This is a serious topic for yours truly, at least I consider it that, and would like it to be treated as such. You don't have a reply/post that in any way indicates that, don't even bother. I'd rather not bother to ask the mods to close this thread.
2)Please, no belligerency, or offensive remarks. Again, I came here for support on this, and I already enough self deprocation going on in my current life.
3)Please don't post here if you wish to follow up on another poster's reply with a flirt.
Now that the guidelines are set in place, here goes;
Recently, I went to my Primary doctor for a shot of cortisone, (I have strained rotator cuff, and need it after sometimes grueling work.) and we got to talking about my personal life. Simple stuff, you know, friends activity. And I just told him sometimes that I felt whacked, grouchy and almost as vicious as a mongoose.
He then told me I might have IMS, Irritable Male Syndrome, which according to him, is caused by a drop in testosterone. I was amazed because I never looked upon it like that at all.
So I researched the topic on the web. Sure enough, Webmd.com gave me a more than informative couple of pages. I'm currently rescheduling another appointment with my Doctor to see what can be done about this.
So, My big quiery to this is......................
What's the input on this from all members? Sound like a valid condition? Think it can be remedied?
All input welcome as always, but I humbly ask to try & remember the guidelines with your input.
Oh! And for those interested in the subject here's the pages I looked at. Hope you find as useful as I did.
