[QUOTE="Jackie Treehorn, post: 45714, member: 12618"] John, When Jay speaks of going to a "specialist," he's not talking about some Endo or Urologist that your PCP (primary care physician) refers you to. He's talking about a specialist that truly knows what he's doing with regard to TRT. He's talking about someone like Dr. Saya or Dr. Crisler at Defy Medical. If you insist on going the route that will supposedly save you the most money, in order to utilize your insurance to the maximum extent, you're going to be chasing your tail round and round. You're going to find out through trial and error, that most of these supposed experts (Endos and Urologists) are clueless with regard to TRT. They utilize outdated protocols that cause more harm than good, and you will end up frustrated and feeling like crap. Since nobody else here has said it, I'm going to go ahead and say it...your primary care physician sucks. Actually, she sounds pretty average compared to most PCPs out there (most are clueless with regard to TRT). She doesn't listen to you, and you're receiving sub-standard care from her. She knows nothing about TRT (which is average), and it's good to see that you recognize that. There's no reason why she shouldn't have ordered a blood test for your testosterone levels (total and free), along with a full thyroid panel to include TSH, FT3, FT4, RT3, and TPO antibodies. As you can probably tell, my tolerance level for clueless, incompetent doctors is very low. I hate to see a guy like you make the mistake of going from doctor to doctor, feeling terrible, instead of cutting to the chase, and going straight to experts that can actually help you. Good luck.
