Since then my energy levels have been much improved although I believe that the HBO tx were helpful there as well.
I did think that the steroids would boost my sex drive however I still can't seem to get out of Park in that car...hoping that corrects soon.

LOL then after awhile a restart maybe? Might need a pit stop after the fast laps tho. LOL
