    We've all been there bro. Don't take no for an answer. Just explain your thoughts and give him the opportunity to continue being your doc. If he boots the opportunity, thank him for his time (because he wasted yours) and begin your search for a new doc. IMHO
    I don't understand these docs that agree that your treatment calls for test, but insist that transdermal administration is the only way. I could understand if a doc was totally against test in any manner given their training and experience, but to write yoiu a script for test and not offer an alternative delivery method is insane. Once again, IMHO.

    Had the same problem with the Androderm patches... May sound a little crazy, but I put super glue around the outer edge and believe me they Never moved!! LOL, I've even used tape.

    Hopefully you'll get the shots though man. Good Luck with all!!

    wtf? bro how could you put super glue on your skin?? would'nt that shiit glue the patch permanently onto you?

    i have rashes on all the spots where i used the patch. one spot looks like a cat scratched me there,, it's wierd.

    i feel much better while i was using 2 patches daily instead of the 1 the doc recommended,, but they are starting to get uncomfortable.

    superglue isn't a good idea, it's extremely conductive to heat, especially solar. Get a little sun on it and you have yourself a nice burn
