Decided to take a break from hydrogen water for a few days. I couldn't handle the extreme insomnia it was causing me.

Fatigue is back with a vengeance, I almost forgot how bad it was after over 2 weeks on hydrogen water. I'm going to try starting it again, but much less this time. I think I just overdid it.

I will start with just one glass in the morning for a while, and see how it affects my sleep and fatigue. Hopefully I can find a reasonable dose where I won't lay awake until 6am every night, and also not have horrible fatigue issues.

Did it worsen your sexual issue?

No not really. If anything EQ is better on hydrogen, libido not much different (always super low)

What is EQ? eRECTION QUALITY?

Yep

Just measured my blood pressure, 144/78. Wth, I'm 24. A quick google tells me this is well inside the range of needing blood pressure medication...

I'm strongly thinking of dedicating the upcoming summer break to a long water fast. Hopefully that will help get it under control.

Why did you quit ARL after just a month, though? You should push through it and give it another cycle or two, but that's just my humble two cents.

Mine has been 14/8 since started SSRIs. I think that my high aldosterone has something to do with it

I know, my original plan was to get retested and continue with the updated program but then I started hydrogen which was a wild ride lol.

Basically I'm dumb and sending in my new hairtest kinda slipped my mind. Gonna do it tomorrow.

I should get that tested too. And stay away from licorice root I guess

Yep I wanted to try licorice but Im afraid

Ok no more hydrogen for me unless I can afford to not sleep at all. Even with one glass every two days it works wonders against the lethargic fatigue feeling I get so often but it makes it impossible to sleep. Not a tradeoff I can make at the moment.

Does it only adress energy/sleep or does it make you anxious, irritated as well?

No real change in anything except energy(up) and sleep(down).

Finally managed to get a whole bunch of blood work done. Will post the results here when I get them.

when are you getting your tests back?

Doc sent me the first few of my lab results. Still more to come, had to go to 3 different labs for all the blood tests lol.

I expected more things to be out of whack tbh. The only things that are out of reference range are:

- Neutrophils 1.90 (ref 2.00-7.70)
- LDL cholesterol 4.26 (ref < 2.50)
- Progesteron 1.2 (ref 0.2-0.5)
- 25-OH Vit. D total 39 (ref >50)

Testosterone is on the low end of the range, estrone and estradiol seem neatly in the middle(-ish) of the range.

As soon as I get my other tests (aminos, prolactin, dht, aldo, electrolytes etc.) I will post them here too. Hopefully that won't take too long.

Just curious, does the high Progresterone suggest that you need to run ella again or ru486??
