really good points. if we can manipulate the hormones of a child why not a healthy adult? why is it OK to hormone you to death to change your gender, but not to improve your God giving masculinity?
@Ricky10 might not approve being a health care professional but despite me saying I haven't been sick in 4 years this week I have been finally fighting a cold (lightening struck, I opened my mouth and was taught a lesson).
here's the thing. it's basically just lethargy, felt it in my chest a bit on day 3 (started monday). Head congestion started around day 3 as well. I've doubled down on my vitamins, C, elderberry, hydrating and I admit that on weds/thurs I did pop two dayquil and half serving of ibuprofen in the morning. other than that I have maintained my NORMAL day of work and lifting. I broke a 7r old deadlift plateau yesterday. my squat and bench are still going up. I've hit my cardio every day this week. I got home last night feeling awesome. by the time I put my head on the pillow I could tell I wasn't out of the woods yet and woke up shitty. now it's 8:20am and I feel pretty good again.
it's just a cold. not something we ever would have stayed home for prior to the pandemic (unless you're a pussy or needed an excuse for a 'mental health day'). But in some ways this cold has hit me harder than the 'rona did lol. I'm still pretending I'm not sick and pounding a sugar free redbull. ha.
