What I don't want to do however is have another stint in coronary care, last time they had moved me from the critical care ward into a shared ward, I struck up a conversation with the fellow in the next bed. Had tea together and watched some TV and had a talk, halfway through the night I heard a horrible gasp rang for the nurse and found that the poor bugger had died, sort of put me off staying there. Don't want that experience again.

Got the test results emzine test was Ok so chest pains are super stress, Hormones are just above the lower limit. The lower limit is 6 and I am 6.1 so have to discuss next visit, never know I may grow hair back.

What about the man boobs; will hormone treatment take care of them too. If so, I'll order a drum of them!

You mean a manseirre.

Back on the original topic - according to a female, 3 certificate plus a couple of masters degrees, senior nursing sister - the answer is 'Yes'. And I'd put her medical knowledge ahead of most GP's and quite a few 'specialists'.

Different symptoms & effects for different people, the reproductive system does not shut down completely in most cases, osteo maybe, depression/mania etc etc. Extreme cases - about 1 in a few billion becomes female (strangely, we know one of the victims of this effect, who has a blog outlining the involuntary process).

Now just think how lucky you are to still have most of your marbles & still have an interest in doing things.

Man I have all this to look forward to I was really unaware of the male menopause thing.

I don't know if anyone has tried this, it may be worth a shot but Tribulus Terrestris (ground up caltrop burrs) is one of the closest natural herbs to steroids and increases testosterone levels. You can get it in health food shops and the Mushasi brand has about the highest per capsual dosage. I use to take a couple of caps a day when I was fly in fly out and worked out at the gym everyday and I would never get muscular soreness, I also used them when I was laying pavers and limestone blocks every day to stop the soreness. Also makes your hair grow like crazy and gives you good wood, these are all signs of increased testosterone.

I still keep some handy and pop them for a week or so if I am feeling lethargic, been ill or have been doing alot of manual labour - they work.

You might want to read this first before splashing out on Tribulus.

How do you do that? Give a link a different name.

Go back to the vet and let him feel your nose (to see if its wet) and take your temperature (where they usually take animals temperature),the result might surprise you

Easy! Left click on which ever URL you want to link to (the URL is visible in the box at the very top of your browser) and a drop-down menu appears. Click on 'Copy'.

Type what ever you want in one of these reply windows, such as Look at this!, then double left click on 'this' to highlight it. On the toolbar at the top of the forum reply window, there's a little icon depicting the globe with a chain link at the bottom of it; left click on this button whereupon a text box opens. Right click on the highlighted text and another drop-down menu appears; click on 'Paste' (to paste in the URL you previously copied) and then click on 'OK". Job done; you've created a hyperlink to the page you want others to see.

You can also link to other hyperlinks (as I did with the link in Wikipedia) by right clicking on the link and clicking on Copy Link Location in the drop-down menu (at least that's the wording with Firefox browser - Internet Explorer and other browsers may have a slightly differently worded link copying option). When you've done that, just paste the copied link as per pasting URLs.

Others will no doubt employ variations for copying and pasting links, but this is how I do it.
