My doctor wants me to come off my TRT to see if the changes in me are just placebo. Not happy with this as i dont want to feel crap again (All my bloods came back good with 100mg every 5 days) .
Looks like my mrs will have to do without sex..lol

Maybe i was wrong self medicating ...And i dont do it for BB reasons.
you're in England, correct? i understand they not big on HRT there. can you see another doctor?
Yes uk.. Been to 3 different ones in the surgery.. They just give that patronizing smirk ..They put a note on my records not to give me any more blood tests as they dont agree with what im doing.Quote:

since you self medicate(not under doctors orders) i dont see the relevancy to what the doctor wants you to do now?
relevancy being that he wont monitor my bloods if i keep on .. so flying blindQuote:

Besides once you figure out your bodies reaction to a set dosage and are stabilized there is usually not a lot of change so yearly work should suffice.
x2...so he's refusing medical care..interesting....Hippocratic oath or hypocritical oath...these doctors and their egosQuote:

My Doc also had me come off TRT for 4-6 weeks. My free test levels were above the normal range. I believe the range they used was 4 ng/dl to 25 ng/dl and mine was 35. I am on my 4th week and honestly I don't feel too much different. Maybe I lost a little strength. He wants to keep a daily diary but there is really not that much to report.
i guess ordering bloodwork is a crime...geeeeeeeeeeeeeez...
good thing we can have bloodwork done here WITHOUT a doctors two cents :)
I have been off for a little over a month and it really hasn't affected my libido but everyone is different.Quote:

I was based on low normal T before with the guidelines of UK docs.
yes, post in the PCT section, you should be fine doing PCT.Quote:
