Wasting program - tell me what you find

The easiest way to see how much memory each process is using, is to use Task Manager. There are several ways to open Task Manager:. Click OK to save the settings. Now that you have added the proper memory counter to Task Manager, let's go back to the Processes tab and sort the Memory column by clicking on the word Memory , so it displays the process using the most memory to the least.

You may need to click on the column twice if it does not first sort highest to lowest. As you can see from my Vista computer, Firefox is using over megs of memory. Looking down the column I can see each process memory usage. At this point, I will take a screen shot of Task Manager so I have a base or starting point of how much memory each process is using. Later in the day, I'll check Task Manager again and compare the memory usage with the screen shot and make notes.

I'll do this for a week depending on my computer usage , then look over the numbers. You will want to look for any increases in memory usage by a process.

The bloodwork was taken about 2 weeks after my last shot. I live in a small state, in a small town, and there are NO good doctors for this stuff within miles of me. My neurologist is purely reactive and won't even discuss T with me. My primary will give me anything I want, but doesn't know doodly squat about my condition.

There's a local endo who i'm trying to see, in the hopes she has some experience with CIDP and what testosterone might do or not do for it.

Thanks for weighing in. Maybe some others will have stuff to say about the rest of my issues.

I injected T only three times and stopped 2 weeks before the test that lead to the reading. Guess it depends on how long the T would have an impact on my reading.
