I have arthritis, and I have always taken Ibuprfen when it gets bad, but I guess that is out now. I aint interested (or medically appropriate) for/in narcotics, and I am not one for the medicinal weed (though no prob with those of you who are). So what now? I assume the pain will be better as I lose weight, but it will likely get worse as I get older, no matter the weight-so what do you all do?
Also, I take Testosterone for low libido and fatigue. Have you men (or wives of men with low libido) noticed a big change post surgery? Now mind you that I am not saying that I can't have sex.....I just have no interest. It is like I am practically NON-sexual.
Last question...I feel like I have lost cognitive ability over the last several years, especially lately. I don't know what is the weight, what is diet, what is the shift I work (graveyards), what is normal ageing, what is Low T and etc. Can anyone relate?
