Yet another poor night’s sleep. Hot flushes weren’t so bad and this was the second night under the cosier duvet. I didn’t even have a busy head. I am feeling low. That is probably (at least in part) a dysphoria with having such low testosterone. I’ll try to give endocrinology another chase today.

At the gym I did fifteen minutes interval training; that’s about a minute/ninety-seconds high intensity sprint, followed by thirty seconds low intensity. I didn’t do too badly. Aside from improving my overall running, this kind of exercise can also lift mood.

I also did fifteen minutes of yoga, allowing for much deeper stretches in my groin now that I’m healed. I enjoyed it.

I am definitely feeling more emotional; aside from the low feeling, I’m more moved by music or things I read.

I chased endocrinology today; they cannot do anything until the doctor resends the referral. From what they said that is all that is standing between me and treatment. I am seeing the doctor tomorrow: I will not leave their office until the referral is done!

Ok, maybe I won’t perform a sit-in! That might just make things worse, however I have to asked my husband to come with me. He grumbled because he has a blood test about two hours before my appointment and he doesn’t want to come home and then go out
