    Buying test locally with a prescription

    Yeah I can understand that, but for me personally the hassle of dealing with a chain pharmacy and possibly getting 1mL vials isn't worth it when I can get it shipped to my door with no problems. To each his own.

    Normal E2 but high total Estrogen

    Total Estrogens is a useless test for men. It is simply not accurate. TRT doctors treat based on Sensitive Estradiol, and I doubt you had that ran.

    Buying test locally with a prescription

    Per issuing of prescriptions. I still don't see the point, your local test isn't any cheaper. Their vial is 10mL of 200mg/mL. So it's $129 vs $102 for the same amount.

    Med. Physical requirements

    Just get a pre employment or administrative physical and submit the records. I'm going to assume you're referring to defy. It doesn't have to be on their form.

    Cold Hands/Feet and Brain Fog Post Injection?

    Except that hormones don't act fast enough to cause the effects that you're referring to. So it's something else.

    New guy question about labs

    They will run your labs for you, and if you do not qualify for TRT, then they will let you know so that you do not have to pay for the initial consult. There was a post here the other day where a guy had his labs done by Defy and they let him know that he wasn't an ideal candidate for TRT.

    Cold Hands/Feet and Brain Fog Post Injection?

    Sounds like a vasovagal reaction. Look it up and see if any of your symptoms match.

    Pharmacy Records

    HIPAA allows for healthcare providers to share information to treat the patient. So doctors and pharmacists can share information without your consent to treat you. For example verifying a prescription or ensuring that a patient isn't prescribed controlled substances from multiple providers.

    Pharmacy Records

    Medical providers have access to it so that a Doctor will know not to prescribe a patient a drug he is already prescribed. I had one doc say "you're taking the cephaxalin?" that I just had filled by another doctor. So it applies to non controls as well as controls.

    Pharmacy Records

    There is only one database regarding Prescriptions, and that'd be the database in your state. It appears that mail order pharmacies are required to report to the patient's state, except for 4 states that have PDMPs.

    Cell phone emf radiation

    So a click baity article is your evidence? https://www.snopes.com/cress-wifi-experiment/ https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/conspiracy-theorists-may-really-just-be-lonely/ There doesn't exist a placebo controlled peer reviewed article showing the effects of EMF.

    Severe Allergic Reaction After Testosterone Shot

    Did you ever do IM? If so did you have this reaction?

    Severe Allergic Reaction After Testosterone Shot

    Sounds like all of this started happening after switching to the 3rd manufacturer? Best thing to do is find the manufacturer that did not cause this reaction and ask for your doctor to re-prescribe that kind.

    Cell phone emf radiation

    That is one heavily biased study. The discussion portion of it doesn't really discuss their study, but rather attacks others that disagree with them.

    Can you Have 1000 ng/dL Natural Testosterone Level ?

    E2 has no effect on muscle gain, so reducing it will not increase muscle gain. You've simply felt the effects of placebo, that by taking a drug that does what you want, your goal was achieved. Except to anyone that understands hormones it doesn't make sense, because high E2 doesn't prevent...

    Can you Have 1000 ng/dL Natural Testosterone Level ?

    If you're concerned about numbers, the internet is a bad place. If you're not having symptoms and maintain a respectable testosterone level just enjoy life man. Don't get caught up in the numberitis that plagues the internet. Numberitis is a serious disease that is contagious.

    Ferritin Declining While on TRT

    That's what I'm thinking. Definitely get that checked out. The ANA that is you should definitely have that evaluated.

    Ferritin Declining While on TRT

    Wow that was ridiculously fast. I'd go with the inflammation then.

    Ferritin Declining While on TRT

    Did you donate blood? Another thing is that ferritin is an acute phase reactant, so by reducing inflammation you can potentially reduce ferritin levels on an assay. TRT is known to reduce inflammation.

    Cell phone emf radiation

    Better call Saul is the only appropriate way to deal with the ending of the breaking bad series. I was considering starting buproprion when it ended, but better call Saul got me through those dark times. ;)

    Blood work question

    Would have been nice to have ferritin tested. Donating blood can cause microcytic anemia, or microcytosis. How many times did you donate?

    Question for those with Defy

    You can have whatever tests you want ordered from them at any time. They just try to minimize the amount of tests and follow ups needed to lower cost, but you're able to do it as much as you'd like. Shoot them an email or sign up for their online ordering system.

    What other non-psychiatry treatments for depression are there?

    Personally I think it's the stigma against it, I mean this guy is literally asking for anything but psychological treatment for a psychological issue. So many won't even consider it, when deep down they know it's the possible solution. My father had the same aversion. He sought help but backed...

    What other non-psychiatry treatments for depression are there?

    Your aversion to psychiatry is indicating your need for it. So many guys are averse to psychological help, and turn to hormones, then complain TRT doesn't work. It does, it just can't fix true psychological issues.

    Please help. Recent diagnosis , extremely low T. Help.

    You're going to have to post all labs, instead of just saying they were normal. Your testosterone is low normal for a woman, by no means is your pituitary intact, as it's simply doing nothing in response to these levels. Lifestyle change isn't going to help at all. I noticed none of your...

    How do you know if 650, 800, or 1000 Total Testosterone is best for you?

    Yeah that's not going to happen. TRT is to achieve normalcy, which it sounds like you have. It's normal to feel different on different days, it is not normal to feel 10/10 everyday.

    How do you know if 650, 800, or 1000 Total Testosterone is best for you?

    Are you having symptoms that aren't resolved or are you playing the numbers game and concerned that your numbers aren't high enough?
