It was more of a request for assistance from the veterans here, such as yourself (Gdevine) as I respect your opinions. Yes, I am new here and I am struggling with a doc/endo who won't prescribe HCG or AI's, (read-nuts are shrinking severely) and yes, I'm reading everything possibly on here and elsewhere in effort to educate myself. I've read many of Bullseye's posts and empathize with him, trust me.
The one thing that pisses me off with my endo or any of them what is like the one that messed me up,it all started with my question to him about giving me a precription for an A.I. because i was holding alot of water and had a swollen face,then i started to feel worse and he increased my dose,and i felt worse after that,so i asked him about high estrogen and my trt dose being converted into estrogen and in both instances,he told me and I quote"Please understand Mr.Doyle,that with clinical doses of TRT no one has estrogen conversion neither does anyone have water retention"he said if you are having those problems,you are taking more than i am presribing you,and i said,well how could i be doing that when i can only get what presrcriptions you write me,i just cant walkin the pharmacy and tell them i want extra test.....so after he declined to give me a blood test for high estrogen,i had my GP do it and like i figured,it was out of control,and when i showed himt he test results,he said it was impossible,and that i was over dosing!!! lol......and he's supposed to be the specialist....and ive learned more on this forum and doing my own research than anything he has told me,when i say what im about to,im not trying to sound like a big dog or smart-ass,but I hold a Master's Degree in Entomology,with a minor in Insect Genetics....so i know just a little about hormones and how they work.I dont in humans,but its quiet similar,ive done research in how to change the hormone inbalance in insects to hel control thier behavior and damage they do,to help develop insecticides to control them in row crops....so i know a little about hormones.Im like JPKman and adevine,ive learned more on this forum by reading and learning from everyone elses experiences more than what my endo has told me,heck i'd rather learn from this forum than any doctors office.....and i wish you the best with your problems man,cause all of us need all the help we can get
