    Doctor problems

    Got lab results back from VA and t-levels were low 400's and my doctor said that is in normal range and will not recommend HRT even though I have told him my research indicates that normal should be between 600 and 800 for 64 years old Male that is in good shape and works out three to five times a week. Anybody had success getting HRT out of the VA?
    Need some advice because I am just not gaining any muscle!

    You can find doctors online that will do a video call consultation. You can do an HRT clinic via online without having to ever leave your house. Doesn't even have to be in your same state

    I got TRT from the VA when I was in my late 50s and my Total T was 105. He's calling your level "normal" based either on VA guidelines or what he learned in med school but he's not likely to budge either way because he's an M-Diety and you're a mere mortal.

    I supplement what the VA gives me with UGL Test-C (pinned Sub-Q) and last year I didn't back off far enough in advance of my 6-month exam and my Total T came back at 700 so they cut me back from 3 pumps of the gel per day to 2. So essentially they 'punished' me for having the numbers you aspire to.
