Driving to Texas for my sister's retirement party. She doesn't know I'm coming. I said my goodbyes to her at Christmas. I don't commit to things out in the future. I'm just not confident I'll be here or, if I am, I'll be feeling well enough. It makes work interesting, since we obviously have to plan.
Anyway, while my wife drives, I'll share something about my condition. Don't expect anything to really sound like anything you've ever heard of, this is an iatrogenic condition, not a disease. I might even be unique in today's world. Since the knowledge is redacted, if someone else does have this, I pity them since they have no idea what's going on.
With this condition, your pituitary goes into a much more active role in order to control electrolytes due to an imbalance. As a result, an infection, candidiasis, is forced INTO cells and out of circulation. This causes cell adoptions
The Na/K pump runs in reverse as the fungus accumulates potassium and changes the gradient. In short, cells shrink.
This has a lot of effects. At times, this burns. But, the real effect you notice externally is tight skin. The original article talked about how men with this condition were favored by the ladies because not only could they not gain weight due to how it changes ATP generation, but I'm the final stage, the men had the bodies of 20 year-olds with no wrinkles or skin sagging. There was also mention of certain stamina increases, but I'm not here to toot my own horn. 🎺
In short, I don't look my age (other than the grey hair).
It's anecdotal, physically, but 30 years after I read that article, it's proven true just like everything else.
