Self Injections...???

[pittbulldad]

Well, I talked with my doc:

According to him, he is unable to let me do my own injections. He said he used to let patients sign a waiver, but apparently his lawyer said not for him to do that since he's had patients (3) die from injecting themselves - in other words he don't let me self inject with his name on the script. He'll be held liable in a court of law.

He said I could ask my primary care physician to write me the script instead. I have an appointment with him tomorrow with all my paperwork. I have no idea how this is gonna play out.

I'll check my testosterone levels next time. He checked my thyroid, PSA, and CBC today. After reviewing my labs, I've noticed he only checks total-T, and not free...

^ LOL! Well, I won't argue with that. The guy is polish, so his sense of English and the "culture," for the lack of a better word, is apparently sub-par. He acts like the judicial system is out to get him. Maybe he's illegal. Hahaha...

My primary care physician certainly agreed that I should self inject. He's willing to write the script, no problem - very nice guy and very willing to help me out (offered to monitor me so I feel 100% comfortable etc.).

I'm obviously new to the medical, doctor scene - I've been to the doctor about once in my life for a ear infection lol - and have a few dumb questions: When "shopping" for a doctor (which I'm looking into), do you just call them up, ask them if they work with TRT patients? I dunno, how and what specifically do you find a "good" doctor?

Thanks for the help guys. Appreciate it.

Well today I self injected for the first time. Everything went a-okay. In terms of needles, what do you guys usually draw with? And what size do you usually use for your quad?

Also, my levels were 944ng/dL at 350mg/wk. My doc said that's high, but at my age I should be high. So far, I'm staying with that current dose.

I think my E2 may be high as my libido sucks. I'll talk with my doc about it - but I've taken an AI (on my own) for the past week without much change in symptoms... so I wonder?

usually try to draw with 18 guage pin sooooooooooo much easier...ran out last week and had to draw with same as inject (23 guage) pain in the ass pardon the pun

about the libido/arimidex/etc...its hard to tell bro...it takes a while to fine tune your dose(s) the test level sounds good...how much/what AI are you taken

I'm on 0.25mg EOD.

It's about day 10, no improvement really. I have morning woods and such, but my libido is defiantly not where it was. I had it for the first couple of weeks on TRT, then faded - which is why I figured E2 could be the problem. Other symptoms have defiantly improved though.

Also, I'm experiencing some testicular atrophy. I asked my doctor testictular atrophy awhile back. He said it's rare and usually happens when too much testosterone is given. He also doesn't prescribe hCG. I dunno, I'm almost afraid to ask as he'll just lower my dose and blame the atrophy/libido on too much testosterone...
