    What should I tell my primary care doctor about testing my thyroid? He only did TSH/reflex free T4.

    Is there a .txt or .pdf file of this? I don't know how to work with .doc.

    What should I tell my primary care doctor about testing my thyroid? He only did TSH/reflex free T4.

    Does 'protocol' mean my intention for wanting TRT, or is it how the procedure is followed through? I'm on TRT so that I can be competent at anything and be able to work. I'm too depressed to do anything that takes effort unless I'm on an amphetamine. I'm receiving 200mg injections a week of...

    What should I tell my primary care doctor about testing my thyroid? He only did TSH/reflex free T4.

    He wants my testosterone to be in the midrange because of the supposed health defects that occur in the higher numbers.

    What should I tell my primary care doctor about testing my thyroid? He only did TSH/reflex free T4.

    I'm on my second week of TRT. Will I still feel better even though my thyroid is probably off? He wants my T level to be between 400 and 500 ng/dL.

    What should I tell my primary care doctor about testing my thyroid? He only did TSH/reflex free T4.

    Would I still be able to undergo the full test with this doctor? I told him about HCG briefly (because I want children) and he acted like I said HGH then continued on about how men in California and Las Vegas take steroids.

    What should I tell my primary care doctor about testing my thyroid? He only did TSH/reflex free T4.

    How should I ask my doctor to retest with these? He is prideful and usually shoots down whatever I try to educate him on. I don't think he purposefully chose not to test the others, he's just ignorant.

    Is there a cream or gel that's made for removing pubic hair?

    Should I use a blade with one or two razors instead of a five blade?

    Is there a cream or gel that's made for removing pubic hair?

    I wouldn't use Nair on my testicles because of its chemicals.

    How do you make the switch from your primary care physician to an endocrinologist for TRT?

    I thought my PCP would know a lot more about TRT than he does. He's been brainwashed through his education.

    I'm always on my computer for multiple reasons and I'm considering IT as a career choice, though. :(

    What other non-psychiatry treatments for depression are there?

    I didn't have a good experience with mushrooms.

    What other non-psychiatry treatments for depression are there?

    I'm going to do TRT combined with CBT instead of TRT + DBS (deep brain stimulation therapy, which is brain surgery) like I originally planned. TMS and ECT didn't work, but I'm now wondering if my depression has more chance of being eliminated if I do ECT with TRT and CBT.

    What other non-psychiatry treatments for depression are there?

    If you see a hormone specialist, they'll probably treat you regardless in order to get paid.

    I'll do it as long as it's nothing like talk therapy.

    What other non-psychiatry treatments for depression are there?

    My thyroid was fine, just my testosterone was below normal. I still have to talk to my primary doctor once more before we begin TRT. What other hormonal testing is there? And sorry about your depression.

    CBT is pretty expensive, though.

    What other non-psychiatry treatments for depression are there?

    I know exercise and daily maintenance, but is there anything else besides TRT that will assist in doing those tasks?

Understanding Your Hormones

Estradiol (E2)

A form of estrogen produced from testosterone. Important for bone health, mood, and libido. Too high can cause side effects; too low can affect well-being.

DHT

Dihydrotestosterone is a potent androgen derived from testosterone. Affects hair growth, prostate health, and masculinization effects.

Free Testosterone

The biologically active form of testosterone not bound to proteins. Directly available for cellular uptake and biological effects.
