So finally my appt comes up after a couple month wait and I go to visit the Endo. This story takes the cake and is guaranteed to make the BP jump 50 points.
Walk in with all my bloodwork and saliva tests. Described all my symptoms (Lethargic, Sweats, Depression, Moody, etc) and informed him that Androgel helped somewhat. He was angered that my primary care wrote me a script for Andogel and told me that I'm perfectly healthy. He said....(here it comes), "You're within the normal range, you're fine". I debated that most of my numbers were "out of the panel range" and feeling like 100% depressed and tired shit is not "perfectly healthy".
Here comes the best part, he tells me that my libido issue is not linked to a testosterone issue and is psycological.He went on to tell me that a spouse needs to do "her part" in a relationship to help me out.
In the end he said all I need was some more sleep and things would work out.
I don't recall ever having to need a spouse to do "her part" when I was in my teens and twenties. Hell I don't ever remember needing a girl to anything more than just say hi.
Now I have no Androgel because he felt I was in range, my E2 levels are above normal which he said was fine, and my wallet and insurance plan is now a little lighter.
What I'm starting to learn is for those of us who suffer from this shit is that you have to find an Endo who deals mostly with HRT / TRT and treats the patient according to how they feel and not how the chart looks. Looking back on this, I really do feel I knew more about what was going on than he did.
