Jammin!

It's also a rather nice drink.

On Sunday 21st April, I jammed 2 songs for the first time. "It's my life" by Talk Talk went O.K. but "Wouldn't it be good" by Nik Kershaw went awry, as I couldn't work out the key for some parts of the song.








I couldn't have done this without the help of the following musicians:-
Clive on keyboard, Ric on lead guitar, Paul on percussion, Simon on bass guitar and backing vocals.

Thank you all!

Psoriatic arthritis and other niggling problems: An update.

In 2004, my pituitary stopped secreting LH which resulted in low testosterone level, so I was prescribed 1/2 sachet Testogel (25mg trans-dermal testosterone) per day.

In 2016, I stopped using it after deciding that solitude was preferable to being in a relationship. I thought "What do I need testosterone for?"

I gradually developed pains in joints that had been damaged over the years and my left shoulder became frozen for a while. I also felt very slightly unwell, but not enough to do anything about it. I thought it was just symptoms of psoriatic arthritis and didn't associate the deterioration with me stopping using Testogel as it was gradual.

Then, on March 15th 2019, I read https://mobile.twitter.com/nick_krontiris/status/1106498415565914113

I started using Testogel again. Now I know what I need testosterone for! My joint pains have decreased and I'm feeling better & more relaxed.  

EDIT: The decrease in joint pains was temporary.

EDIT: Feeling great relief was accompanied by an increased tolerance to loud music & dazzling headlights. I think my cortisol level has dropped and I've experienced this before! See Supplement Alert! Carlson Labs Vitamin K2 MK-4 (Menatetrenone).

I'm still alive!

The bad news: I'm running out of ideas for things to blog about.

The good news: I've been maintaining at BMI ≈ 23.9 since September 2018 eating a diet based on minimally refined/processed animal & vegetable produce + occasional treats.

Switching randomly between Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) & High Carb Low Fat (HCLF) for a few days at a time, I found that I felt better & was mentally sharper on HCLF, so HCLF for the win!

Here are some videos of me murder.... I mean singing some songs at a jam session in Reading on Sunday 24th Feb 2019.

Enjoy!
