New doctor better results from better action taken.

I’m envious of your doc man.

As far as trt stuff goes, I would bet money we'd all have the best luck with young doctors. I dont think that this has been taught in med schools except for the last 10-12 years or so. Older than that and they were taught that testosterone causes heart attacks.

I told my gp at my last physical about mine bc he caught it on my bloodwork. He wanted to know how my ldl had come down so quickly and he caught that my RBC count had elevated. He was fine with me being on trt at 200mg a week but test still wouldnt be covered by insurance through them so.........


Point is, keep searching for the right doc.

I found my TRT doc off a Google search for TRT providers in my local area and based on reviews. Most GP's and family practitioners are there to treat the flu, a sprained ankle, basic allergies, a weird-looking mole, and that rash on your ass. Anything beyond that and they'll jump to "you need an SSRI and Cialis" if you mention anything to do with low-test symptoms. Doctor shop, ask for what you WANT/NEED and go from there.

Young men need to hear trt is not a magic bullet ... if you have low energy ... difficulty losing belly fat ... and dont get a boner when the wind blows ... welcome to the human race ... seriously start by improving your diet ... and start busting your ass at the gym ... I'd give my left nut to be 25 or 32 again ... trt will supplement and work with other good habits ... it will solve nothing on it's own ...

Thanks everyone

I decided to go.

Bad news....

I was going over how I feel and explaining how long it has been going on. They ended up pulling up lab work from over 4 years ago.

My thyroid is WAY above what it is supposed to be. She said it is around 5 and the highest it should be was in the 4's.

She is very concerned there's something going on with my thyroid, or saying it could possibly be my issue. They scheduled me for lab work first thing in the morning .


8am. I have to start fasting at 12am.


I just went in and explained how I don't agree with them blowing me off etc....she did some digging and found the old lab work and she actually freaked out. She wanted to know why the doctor at that time didn't do anything for me. They said the doctor has quit since then. He quit two years ago she said.

four years ago my thyroid was 5.0. or 5.2. it was one or the other.
