Well my doctor didn't give me reandron, says he's mystified still by my super low T and now DHEA and wants me to see the hormonal doctor I was referring to. Apparently the 2 are friends and my current doc said the hormonal doc will test for everything, i.e., every testosterone precurser and basically every hormone generally.

My doc wonders if I'm missing some enzyme that converts a precurser to T or some other problem.

So next thursday I see the new guy. I think this is reasonable. I'd like to get to the bottom of the problem as opposed to simply "band-aiding" it.

I still think it has something to do with taking finasteride 2005-7, but no doctor has warmed to this theory.

That'll be good Des. At least hopefully they'll come with the cause.

.

Also, is Sustanton 250 weekly almost an aas type dosage? Would the doctor think that put you too high (i.e., above the normal range)

If I would push for this

you would feel like a million dollars on that

Thanks Omega and Access.

My appointment was scheduled for 1.5 weeks ago, but the doctor was sick and it got postponed. It's now July 14th. I will be pushing for injections. My absorption rate for transdermals is obviously terrible as my last T test was only 9.2 on 100mg daily testogel.

Yes I will be pushing for a higher dosage. The doctor I have now decided to see is quite alternative - he may prefer to treat adrenals more aggressively before Sus 250. Hopefully this saga resolves soon - I can't believe how long its been going

 

[OMEGA]

NO!

say you have had enough of living like this and demand HELP

enough is enough already

be polite but let him feel the Months/Years of limbo you have been in

YOU are the patient after all

 

[desmond]

But what if he argues that I have fatigued adrenals (my DHEA is super low - not sure about cortisol) and that treating the testosterone aggressively will just worsen the fatigued adrenals?

I have read this in a few places. That's my only reservation. If he says this I'm not sure what to say. Otherwise yes I will demand more aggressive TRT

 

[desmond]

Fuck it.

I think I will establish that (1) I'm sick of the delay in all of this, (2) my leave of absence at the top-tier commercial law firm interstate expires next year and (3) therefore I'd prefer a more aggressive approach to have any chance of returning to work as a lawyer next year. I mean if T gets too high on Sus 250, he can always reduce it.

What a frustrating year

Good for you Des. What you have just outlaid is more than ample reasoning as to why you require immediate treatment. This forever ongoing delay must be terribly frustrating. It is for me so can barely imagine the way you feel.
