CHANGES

Within the eighth month (November 2001):
(T dose: 200 mg Testosterone Cypionate biweekly)

- I believe I'm seeing some effects from this new form of testosterone.

- hair growth has really taken off again. Hair has spread over my stomach though it remains thicker below my navel than above. I'm seeing sprouts of new hairs all over my chest. The hair on my arms is really beginning to thicken up.

- No great changes in my beard. I'm starting to see sideburns, though they are light in color. Perhaps with time they will darken up. I have to shave underneath my chin every other day. The whiskers are irritating and have caused a slight rash under my chin. Keeping them shaved has prevented this.

- I'm maintaining a weight around 180 lbs. My shoulders are beginning to bulk up. I'm out growing my clothes. My hips seem to be slimming down a bit, though I would feel better if I lost a little more in that area.

- I'm depressed, but I feel this is due to my move and this period of readjustment.

- Acne was a real problem this month. This may be due to the new form of testosterone or my switch to a new over the counter acne medication. I have since switched back to my old medication, and my acne has significantly reduced.

- My good old sex drive is back. Did you know that convenience stores in Illinois don't sell porno mags????? Shessh I thought I left the bible belt behind!
