My story

Hello

That is my first post on this forum. I am 22 years old male and I am going to write my story.

Until age 6 I was completely normal child. But after that age i didnt change like my colleagues with same age. I was diferent. I know that I newer smelled anything, so when I and my parent went near farm they every time said that there stinks. I every time comfirmed, but I newer smelled anything. At age 8 I still could compeat with my colleagues with sports. In that age I still could run fast. But then next year I became slowest runer in class. I and my mum thought that that is becasue i had on that year and two years before three pneumonias. That also on next year was nothing beter with my sports. At that time I still was slim, but I started to gain waight. Than my mum decided that it would be good for me to start trainign one sport. I picked basketball. I trained as hard as any other kid not only on official training but also at home. But I every time lag behind other kids. I was slowest in team. I tried with basketball for three years, but my condition was almost same as on the begining. All kids was way before me. At that time I already have small gynecomastia, so I didnt want to change my clothes any more in changing rome in front off other kids. So I quit basketball. At age 14, after eight years of elementary school, I decide to inscribe into gymnasium. It was good choice, but when you looked on all people in class you could instantly say what I am doing there becasue I look 2-3 years younger than other kids. In our country there are 4 years of gymansium. And every year all other students looked older except me, some of them already start schave. In that 4 years my gynecomastia became big. I start wearing loose clothes that I would couver all. It was not pleasant when we have gym. I also have bad resoults in gym. I was slowest runner. I was more than a minute behind second slowest. So because of all that i really hate that school hours. After secondary school I went to university to study economics. My condition was still same as in secondary school. When I was already two or three years on a college some people thougt that I am only a freshman. Also when I went out with some friends I always have to take with me identity card or passport, if I wanted to get something to drink. My waight was up to 190 pounds, but I dont eat much, in fact I eat allot less than my brother (he dont have disease), but he is 60 pounds easier than me.
There was another problem. At age 17-18 I became very tired after I came from school. With every year that conditions was only worse and worse. I didnt have any will any more. When I was second year on college it was realy hard, because I didnt have any will and also no energy. And also have had allot of work to do in college. But I make every year all exams, so I didnt have any problems with college. But because of will, energy, tiredness, frustrations about my look. I started to think allot about suicide, to end that agony. But I didnt decide to do that, because I believed to find a solution and that the future will be beter. I forget to mentioned that I am very shy and because my penis size, I didnt have any girlfriend, so that is very frustrating to me.
Two weeks before my 20 birthday I discover that I probably have Kallmann. I didnt want to go to a docotor, becasue I have had bad experience with them from that 3 pneumonias. Also I was scary because in our state allot of employers want a medical record, you are not to oblige to give him medical record, but if you are not give that paper to employer you probably will not get a job. So I didnt want to have that in my medical record, because when you hear that some person have any kind of syndrom they instantly think that you are mentaly behind like people with Down syndrom. Then half year ago I decied that thats it, I dont care for that reasons any more, and I went to my doctor and told her about this disease. Thank god for this forum. I discovered right before my 20 birthday, when I searched on web what kind of disease I could have with my symptoms. And that day I typed symptom anosmia,no pubil hair, female voice, younger look. First hit was this page and I start reading forum, I also found another page with some advices about kallmann syndrom. I was convinced that I have kallmann syndrom. So half year ago I told this to my general doctor and she gave me note for endo. So I went to endokrinologist and he made test to confirm kallmann syndrom. Day before last Christmas i got results. Test confirmed that I have Kallmann syndrom. My endo prescribed me androgel 50mg. Now I am taking every day one androgel bag. For now I am very satisfied with medicine. A year ago I couldnt make with my bike 3 miles without rest. Now winter is over and wetter is better I am again on my bike. Now I make app. 20 miles/day without any problems. My cycling speed is app 14-15 miles/hour. That is way better than before.
Also another good sign are growing hairs on face, on torso. They are not big enough but they are much bigger than before starting with medicine. I still have female voice so I hope that voice will change in next couple of months. Only thing whit I am not satisfied is my penis. It is still same size that before treatment, and the size is small (micropenis). I would like to ask here what can I expect from medicine regarding to my penis?

Thats all from me for now. I hope you can understand my english, because english is not my first language.
