hmm..no insurance? i've met my deductible this year so i pay 20% of the bill - but I have yet to find out what that 20% MRI bill would be.

hmm..This thread seems to discourage MRI MRI needed? Opinions please

I think my Dr. is mistaken in calling for an MRI of my pituitary and I wanted to get another opinion here. I have been diagnosed with Secondary Hypogonadism and he is wanting me to go for the MRI. My research states that 1) an MRI is needed if levels of Prolactin are higher than normal. My...

My Prolactin level is right in the middle of the range. so I guess no MRI is needed?

thanks...has anyone ever seen whereby Clomid DID NOT raise T-levels after taking for 2 months?...the reason that I ask is because my Dr. says the next step would be to take an MRI of the pituitary (I guess to see if its physically damaged?)...has anyone heard of this as a next step ?? -I'm...

In my reading I don't really see an example of someone taking Clomid for only 2 months and then have normal pituitary functionality afterwards. So clomid is long term or can a short term usage wake up the pituitary to prodcue T on its own?

Short story - I have Low T and eventually was prescribed Clomid (low dose) by my Dr. (secondary hypogodism). He gave me a 2 month supply and said take it for 4 weeks - stop for 5 days - take it again for 4 weeks and then stop. Then come back to see him. He is trying to see if my Pituitary...

Will Defy Medical work with your existing lab work or do you have to start fresh with labs etc. with them?

Howdy - I am a 49 year old with a lifetime of feeling down - I've been on Paxil for the last 15 years. I had great erections until I hit 20 years old and then one day they stopped being great and became poor at best. I recently started reading about Low T and thought that the symptoms fit me...
