That's why I figured I'd get the referral and check with an endo first. Like I said, I'm dealing with the PA at my GP, so as she said she can't really make split second decisions on what's acceptable and not, she just operates under his guidelines.
She said his comments were thyroid shouldn't be anything to worry about AT THIS POINT, so he did seem in agreement that it's something to keep an eye on, and that test is low and they'd treat that.
So, if I strike out with the endo (they actually said they'll refer me to 4 different ones in total if the first one declines to see me, etc.), then I have the GP to circle back to. They did refer me as Low T with both my total numbers marked - 368 and 347, so they said there is a good chance that the first endo will take the referral and schedule a visit with me at least.
Sanity check, though. I figure that everything points to secondary hypogonadism, in that the lower TT is being caused by something else, could be the thyroid, cortisol, whatever.
If I do strike out with the endo at this point and just accept TRT, the secondary cause will still be there and I could continue to seek out help for finding that cause and possibly be able to go for a restart if that problem is resolved in any kind of short-to-regular term, or am I mistaken?
