We had a fire in my building tonight ...

... and the alarm in the hallway was broken. The only reason I knew something was going on, was that I happened to wake up and see the flashing lights of firetrucks outside. Only my girlfriend was able to smell the smoke.

Luckily it was a small facilities fire, put out easily and everyone in the building is ok. But I'm still seriously freaked out. If it had been something worse, with the alarm broken, I probably wouldn't have noticed anything in time. Usually Anosmia doesn't really faze me, but it's moments like this that I realize the full implications.

Anyway, apparently it still smells like smoke in here so that's fun...

Going to stop Pregnyl for a while as I was not responding well enough to it and was. Going back to Testogel for a few months to see how I get along.

[kallmann-syndrome]

Part of the condition of having condition Kallmann syndrome is having no sense of smell - anosmia.

I have congenital anosmia, I have never been able to smell. In all the years as a teenager being labelled as a “late developer” not one doctor ever asked if I did have a sense of smell, until I was correctly diagnosed at the age of 43.

I take 3,000 IU of Pregnyl (human chorionic gonadotropin) twice a week so that I can produce my own testosterone.

I have Kallmann syndrome, which I means I never went through puberty and can not produce testosterone on my own. I either have to take testosterone injections or gels or take this injection in order to produce my own testosterone.

Kallmann syndrome - an introduction.

I have Kallmann syndrome. It is a congenital hormonal condition with prevents puberty from starting or fully completing.

It is a rare condition which is not widely known in the medical community which sometimes means it can be difficult to get diagnosed as often patients are dismissed as “late developers” or “late bloomers”. I myself was not diagnosed until I was 23 years old.

The condition is also also associated with a lack of sense of smell, known as anosmia.

As I do not produce my own testosterone I either have to inject it every 3 months in the form of an injection called Nebido or take an injection called Pregnyl every 3 days which makes me produce my own testosterone.
