DOCTOR issues... what to Do.

[sirupate]

I think that most of us are there right now, or will be at some time in the future (frustrated with our TRT doc). In a recent visit to my endo., I was complaining that I don't feel as good as I did just after starting TRT and I asked if my natural testosterone had shut down finally after four months of 5gms. Androgel /daily. His answer was...no, that isn't the problem, as "he didn't give me a big enough dose to stop my natural production". Now my "nads" have gotten smaller, and my libido has definately decreased a bunch. A little less energy and mood lift too.

His answer was that we need to look elsewhere for the cause...thyroid, polycythemia, liver, etc. I did bloodwork and a liver ultrasound following that visit and find out the results next week. But dang, it is frustrating. His treatment response to my tests will determine if I keep him on as my doc.

Have a line on a wellness doc. in the area and may try him next.
