Ok, friends. After much thought and consideration, I've decided to just take action through male specific specialists such as PrimeBody. I will also be consulting with several male horomone replacemnt therapy companies surrounding me. I'm done dealing with endos and uros that tell my I'm...

Thank you, sfpowerlift. I'll keep an eye open. Just ready to feel and BE better. End of story.

I currently live just outside Austin, Texas.

I will do my best to get this treated. And I will look into Defy Medical, but I'm just afraid of the cost. I am a full time student and part time employee who can just afford to pay rent and food. Thank you all for the advice. It's hard keeping my head high when this bogs me down so much, but I...

Update: got some seriously depressing and upsetting news just now. Despite my numbers being out of whack, and feeling the way I do, my endo told me there is no need for a follow up appointment as everything came back normal according to her "range". And that if anything, I should look into...

I am anticipating a call either later today or tomorrow to see what she diagnosis this blood result as. I will most definitely update asap. I must say that this (for lack of better terms) sucks, to feel the way I do... Again.

interesting, I suppose I need to do some more research on that. This is all such a new realm and experience to me, and finding the right person for my condition has been like finding a needle in a haystack. Thank you for all of your help, Vince! You've given me a lot of insight!

Thank you for your input. I was very curious to know if anything was clearly wrong. She ran the Epi ratio because I said I had competed in a natural physique bodybuilding show. I am wondering why my ratio wouldn't be one to one though.. interesting.

It is not mentioned, so I assume standard. There was also no range given. Just <=60 PG/ML, however it does say "Values in the range of 17-25 PG/ML may demonstrate increased imprecision. Clinical correlation is recommended."

I also feel the need to add that I have lost a substantial amount of weight and muscle, despite my training and nutrition staying fairly consistent. Somedays I really feel the "skinny-fat" look coming on.

Hey guys, just an update here. Sorry for bringing this thread to life again, but I feel as though people my age may be able to benefit and receive some insight. I found a very responsible and knowledgeable Endo who I am currently working with. I received my blood test after coming off test for a...

hello, John. Great to hear from you, but I'm sorry about your situation. I'm still experiencing the sensation in the nipples, but thankfully none in my pre-existing gyno glands. It seems as though some men experience more sensitivity than others. That being said, I'm keeping a VERY close eye on...

I suppose you're right about the "fantastic insurance". Clearly it isn't benefiting me in anyway... I will get in contact with Defymedical and Primebody. They both seem very professional and look forward to fixing this mess of a situation. I'm confident they can help me get down to the bottom of...

Isn't it crazy how we go to a specific doctor when something is wrong with us, yet they may know just as much as us? Wish I would've known this sooner. I found a Dr. By the name id Kate Gear, and endo in Austin. I only have referral to a endo and no not a urologist via the same Dr. who...

I couldn't agree more. I've learned more on the forums than in the 2 hour visits I've had with my doctor. Your support and help is beyond appreciated. Thank you so much.

While I have fantastic insurance, I would prefer to stay within that realm. However, if you have knowledge of someone who isn't usually "in network", I would love to look into them as long as the fee isn't outrageous of course. Money<Fixing myself. That's really the way I have to look at this.

I understand. Thank you for your recommendation. I'll continue to search. Are some telemed physicians covered through insurance?

I am in great need of an endo to help me straighten out my thyroid and hormones. Anyone recommend someone specific in the Austin area?

I agree, J. I guess my biggest question would be: If i did come off, what kind of side affects would I experience? and would it do me more harm than good?

I realize this now. The Dr. Seemed VERY quick to react.. and yes, I am now aware of the SARM situation. Not worth it. Thank you for reassuring me of the direction I'm taking. Just want everything to be squared away and not damage me for a lifetime.

You are absolutely right. I was EXTREMELY hesitant to even start the protocol. Unfortunately, I only found out about the incompetence of many general health care physicians after the fact. I will be sure to find MUCH more educated help ASAP. Unfortunately with Christmas coming up, It wont be...

T3 uptake: 32.7 T4: 4.9 Calculated T7: 1.60 TSH: 1.6 That's all that was done besides B12, D, and Free Test. only medication in the past 10 years that has been semi-ish consistent is heartburn medication. I have dabbled with SARM's as well as an andro product. As of recent, I started a cycle...

Thank you very much, Vince. I appreciate your words. I will definitely bring this up at my next visit. Unfortunately, I do not have any arimidex. just an over the counter AI called arimistane. I will most definitely be conservative with it.

Hey guys, thanks for taking time and stopping by. I'm 20 yo, 5'11, 174, 11% bf. Since I was 16, I have been obsessed with fitness. I have strength trained consistently 5 days a week or more since then. (more into the aesthetics side of things, hence my weight) around 14, I developed a slight...
