Hey guys and gals, I've been lurking this forum for quite some time now and I figured it was time for me to post a little about myself as I've been doing some soul searching lately. So without further ado, let's get to it.
I guess this all started when I was a little kid playing little league baseball.I was the best on my team, one of the strongest and powerful hitters.everyone thought I was destined for great things.then once I hit my teenage years, puberty never hit.I stayed about 4'11" and I weighed about ninety pounds.now this never raised any flags because my dad is only 5'6", so like any normal person, we just chalked it up to bad genes.at about fifteen my doctor started noticing I wasn't growing at all.No hair, muscles, height, weight, nothing.so she recommended me to an endocrinologist.after some bone scans, everything came back negative.
Fast forwarding to next year I finally got diagnosed with crohns. I couldn't eat anything, stomach aches, you guys all know the symptoms.I would wake up to go to school and be sleeping on my desk by the last period.literally sleeping 15 hours a day. Eventually I got into a remission of some sorts and managed to get to 140 pounds and I'm now 5'11". I finally started to gain weight when I turned twenty one and got to 150 pounds.then a flair struck and i dropped to 135. I work swing shift 12 hour schedules, every couple of days I go from nights to days to nights to days.now I'm beginning to think alot of my problems is my circadian rhythm. I virtually have no sleep schedule.It's beginning to depress me and I really think that getting myself a straight day job (with less pay) will be much better for my health then killing myself making a bit of extra money.I'm also going to go to college part time as a computer aided drafter.
Well that's all I can think of so if you guys have any questions or opinions, feel free to shoot.That's why I joined, just for a little support.thanks!
