I am in the process of making an appt. with an endo - I have a script from my PC to do so. My questions is - if prescribed HRT, is it standard practice to allow one to self administer? If not standard, is it 'allowed' or acceptable in some cases? This office isn't particularly close to my home, and I'd never be able to make it there once a week during their business hours, let along twice a week which would be my ideal dosage timing.
What you might want to do to save yourself some time and grief is call around to different Endo's and ask them if the Doctor there prescribes testosterone injections for male patients with low T or only the gel to sort out those that won't prescribe you shots. And then go to the one's who prescribe the shots and tell them some bunk story about how your wife is a nurse at a local family practice and she will be administering your shots at home to save you the weekly trips to his office and tying up his time. It's a win win. Man you wouldn't believe all the tricks I learn at the gym by talking to the older guys there on TRT. When I have to go on it I'm ready with my story to tell the doc in order to get my own supply. But don't tell anyone though. lol
