My sister and her family also got my a $25 Starbucks gift card.

Then my endocronologist sent me back a message this morning. I had told him about my mood swings and the pattern I've been noticing. He asked if I wanted to try a different type of testosterone. Its a special kind. One of those shots you give under your skin. The sort that is already drawn into the needle. And for some reason I can only get it through a mail pharmacy. But he thinks it will help me better so hes calling that in and I'm supposed to go down a bit on my current kind until my new stuff gets here.

And I just got off with my pdoc. I did get the Wellbutrin prescribed. I didn't have to fight him really. I just had to be assertive with him. There was that whole seeking weight loss meds speech he gave me but he is putting me on 150 XR once a day and he told me to pick it up tonight. I didn't mention my new testosterone to him even if that was bad. I don't think the 2 are related though. He was being pushy about me going back to work. As if I didn't just get 2 rejection emails.

But at least I got answers today.
I hope the wellbutrin works out for you, @Mountaindewed. Like I said before, I was on that for a little bit (switched to it from Cymbalta) and it caused me so much intolerable anxiety I literally BEGGED my pdoc to put me back on Cymbalta! BUT I lost so much weight. Got down to 120lbs. Lost all my Cymbalta weight and then some, so it should help with your weight. Good luck!

Oh - and I'm happy you had a good birthday with nice gifts.
