I understand that the document I attached from my doctor is missing ton of labs but are you also saying the Hormone & Wellness Panel for Men on discountedlabs.com is missing a ton of labs?

I hope its okay to ask you guys to help me with this. I have attached a blood work order from my doc and all I need to know if all of the tests he ordered would be included if I did the Hormone & Wellness Panel for Men on discountedlabs.com?

Kaiser Permanente is a health care organization in California and many other states. Its not insurance. KP has all their own docs, clinics, hospitals, etc etc. Its a closed system. The individual KP docs have no authority to go outside KP protocol and they are quick with their answers if you...

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks!

Can you clarify this for me (again) so I understand. My syringe is 3 ml (3 CC). I am injecting .2 ML e3d T 200mg. How many mg am I taking?

I had nearly the exact conversation early 2014. They will not let me self inject because its a "controlled substance", after I had already been self administering for over a year. I refuse to waste my time going in every week to do something at takes me 2 min at home. KP has been good for my...

No but I used to. I recently was switched to Kaiser SoCal and they are pretty much worthless as far a TRT goes, they won't pay for any blood tests that they don't deem necessary and the won't let you self inject. Fortunately I had a 18 months of TRT under my belt when I switched so I more or...

I have been taking .21 ML E3D T Cyp 200mg and my last T level was 940 (193-740 mg/dL). I am going to try .18 and see where I end up. Don't mind being a little high but 940 might be stretching it.

My T levels are slightly high. I have been doing e3d injections and am going to lower the dose just a tiny bit. Theoretically, how long before my T levels will decline a little?

Modafinil works well for me on an "as needed" basis but no more that twice a week or two days in a row. I get irritable if I use it too often. I generally take 200 mg at 8 am for best results. This dose taken at this time does not affect my sleep pattern. I will say that the first time I...

What dosage has worked for you?

Thanks Bambi. Thats pretty much the same scenario for me. I am on CPAP, HRT dialed in but still experiencing fatigue. What is your dosage and have you found that the same dose of Modafinil has had the same effect over the 5 months you have taken it?

I have used this site for a couple of years in cooperation with my doc to get my T numbers, etc where they should be. HCG, T, Anastrozole, CPAP and Levothyroxine. Might add Sam-e to my supplements.

Thanks. For me, I feel as though I have good numbers on just about everything but fatigue is still an issue. That's the reason I am looking into this.

Can you give me a few more details? Why did you go on it? How old are you? Whats your dose?

Anyone have any experience with Modafinil (Provigil)?

How would I know if CPAP has been optimized? I had a sleep study done and the settings were determined at that time. I was switched to one of those new machines that has the capacity to sense my sleep apnea (as it changes over the months) and self adjust.

My initial take is, as I suspected, that the doc is full of s#^*! Kaiser docs can do NOTHING except their Kaiser protocol. The docs have NO latitude what so ever. My Kaiser doc will not let me self inject T, even though I had been self injecting for 2 years before coming to Kasier (required...

Sent my SoCal Kaiser Doc the questions about further testing of thyroid. I received this email reply: I am the covering physician for Dr. Narayan as she is out of the office. Your TSH is within normal limits on thyroid medication. TSH is used to titrate levothyroxine dose. I do not recommend...

I am going to follow up on the thyroid because, like you, I do start to feel better at 4 or 5 in the afternoon. Thanks for the tip!

I am feeling slight despair over this today because its beaten me down a bit over the past 4 years. All of the things I have tried on the list above with the addition of supplements and diet have not provided much relief. Really, the only way I am getting through the day is with moderate use...

This is from a blood test I had a while back: CORTISOL, FREE, LC/MS/MS 0.21 8:00 - 10:00 AM 0.07-0.93 mcg/dL 4:00 - 6:00 PM .0.04-0.45 mcg/dL 10:00 - 11:00 PM 0.04-0.35 mcg/dL According to this I might be okay on Adrenal fatigue. If I understand this correctly, I should have...

I am a 56 year old male and have been on a 4 year journey to try to figure out why I am tired, abnormally so I believe. My quality of life is clearly not what it should be. I am about to schedule an appointment with my doc and want to be prepared. Having been around these forums for a while I...

Follow up: In the end I bought the bag suggested by Nelson and the Frio mentioned above. I had about a 7 hour flight with layover. I did not use the Frio, Nelson's pack worked great. At my last bag check, they opened and checked it. The NSA guy said it was fine but only because it was frozen...

Would you pack your trt supplies with your checked bags or carry on or doesn't it matter?

I mixed a new bottle of HCG and forgot to put in the fridge for 2 hours after I mixed it. Am I okay?

I had to place an order with Empower today so I asked them about traveling with HCG. They suggested the bag as Nelson mentioned above and also recommended these: http://amzn.com/B0002262D0 There are 2 sizes.

Does anyone have any more suggestions on how to keep the HCG refrigerated during travel?

I have used these guys for a while and I agree with everything. In my area (Southern CA) no signature has been required so far.

Nelson: Are you comfortable with the tests listed for on going monitoring. My levels are pretty well dialed in. In other words, the tests would include everything I need?

Thanks Nelson. I will check it out.
