I’ve been told those ones run to bigger sizes.

when I shop for clothes in the us, I get the smallest size available and half the time it’s still too big

I used to walk around happily, as a grown 6 foot adult, in a US size XS (petit fit).

So, random Sweden thing. Midnight sun happening tonight a few cities over. Soon it’ll be here. The sun will be up. During midnight. Circadian rhythm, what is that?
It’s right now 22:23 and its so bright outside that my lamps (plural) barely brighten my balcony. I know they are on but it’s like… They don’t have to be (on a timer)
Woke up at 3AM this morning and was like “okay, I’m up. Time for breakfast *sees clock* sod it to hell.” took 90 minutes to fall back asleep

Thought I’d move this here.
I reckon you get to cut yourself some slack if you’ve been sofa ridden for weeks and survived.
How are you feeling anyway?
Yeah, I’m not beating myself up or anything.
I’ve program-hopped plenty trying to find some spark again so that explains my lack of progress. Learned a ton about what it means to push for which I’m glad.
The illness took a lot out of me but I’m good now, finally. And I always end up shooting myself in the food whenever I pig-out. Still. Right now I’m just eating slightly below maintenance, I know I’m happier when I have a 1:1-ratio between my waist circumference/scale weight (cm/kg) as I tend to feel good about the way I look then. I have a few cm to go, and then back on the slow gain train.
It’s also been quite some time since my last test-shot and there seems to be a real low about 6-8 weeks after when I just feel absolutely atrocious that I’ve only just recently resurfaced from. Night & day difference.

As long as you’re happy and you’ve got a plan. That seems to be about all I really need when it comes to lifting.

I think my doctor is a boob.
Willing to acknowledge I may be part of the problem, but I don’t think I’m the only problem.
Would you care to elaborate?
Well, to try and condense it: at about the half-way point between injections I feel absolutely atrocious. Akin to pre-treatment levels of feeling abhorrent. I sent a message to my doctor that this persists, and kindly asked if he’d be willing to request additional blood tests to try and figure out if it was possible to see what could be causing this turmoil.
I asked for a response in text, because I’m quite familiar with his very non-engaging behaviour, and I’d prefer to have everything in plain-text (I didn’t mention that’s why I requested to receive his response digitally).
I also linked a now discontinued listing of the drug testoviron, which is the only other injectable we’ve had in Sweden and further referred to some EU documents detailing it is still prescribed in other EU countries in case it’d be possible for me to have that prescribed as I believe if I got to inject more routinely my levels would be more stable and I wouldn’t have to deal with the same dissonance between the highs and the lows.
He called me instead, while I’m in the grocery store. And, well… the only thing he really did was say that my expectations of what the treatment can do for me are unreasonable and that he’s never experience a patient that has problems at the midpoint between injections before. Like, it’s somehow my fault?
Obviously, in that scenery I’m not really comfortable relaying any details and could only try and communicate that I’m not talking about not feeling “optimal”. I feel like shit at that point. And that’s not okay. He was unphased.
No added blood tests.
No changes.
No nothing.
That sucks big time… And sounds very relatable. I don’t know if doctors numb through their work but one common thing that I’ve experienced with a lot of my doctors is that they don’t seem to take you seriously when you tell them “it’s really bad”.
I have yet to find out how to communicate that. I could imagine you have the same problem that you don’t seem “desperate enough” for a doctor to actually get alert.
What kind of symptoms are you currently dealing with (I have no recommendations or anything along the lines, I am just curious. So feel free to ditch of course).
Idk about Europe, but in the states, doctors are on a very, very tight schedule, which leads to medical discrimination. Minorities, women and young men are systematically not taken seriously, it’s worse for those that look “fit”
Gotcha. No need for much imagination unfortunately.
Hang in there man, I wish I had something useful for you but I don’t. Feel free to reach out anytime.
