Hi Noa,
I was not aware that you took insulin (if I am reading what you said correctly). I'm assuming here that you would have had to take it to determine intolerance? If I'm right, do they have an alternative treatment in mind? Or do they just suspect the possibility of the diabetes? Wow, when our bodies start passing the warranty stage it can really be a bitch!
I have a really off-color joke about the penis envy thing, but in the interest of good taste and consideration of those it might offend, I'll just mail it to you if you want to hear it. Besides, Dr. Bob would no doubt block me from the site... ;^) As far as peeing logistics go, at least you can sit down and rest, we testosterone controlled males feel like we have to stand just to show our masculinity. Another joke about sitting down to pee comes to mind.... You probably wouldn't have much fun in a distance contest though... 48 hours.....Damnnnnnn!
Take it easy on the cleaning, don't overdue it. Remember that when it comes to the condition of your house, the only one you have to please is you.
If you figure out how to get 8 hours of uninterrupted sleep, PLEASE let me know! If I get 6, I feel like I've won the California State lottery! I'm starting to get used to the minimal sleep....bummer! Oh well, they say us older folks don't need as much sleep anyway...
Please take good care of yourself and let me know how the tests come out, OK? You know I'm thinking about you.
Hugs,

> Glad you are well. I am doing fine. This morning I spent a few hours getting a glucose tolerance test. My endo thinks I might have insulin resistance, which apparently is both caused by and causes weight gain, and puts one at terrible risk for things like artery damage, heart disease, and type II diabetes. Also being tested for Cushings Syndrome. Not a fun prospect, have to collect 48, yes, that is correct, 48 hours worth of pee. Yikes. It is times like these that Freud might have been right about the penis envy thing, you know, at least on a practical level, because the logistics are a lot tougher for us gals.

> I am getting more in touch with my need for a full 8 hours of sleep and how much better I feel after a good long sleep, as compared to the mornings after only getting a few hours. The past two days, I only got about 4 hours per night and in the morning I felt lousy. I began to interpret it as depression, but then realized that it is probably related to being sleep deprived. Which means I have to really be disciplined about getting to bed on time.
