My doctor seems uninterested in checking my vitamin d (I take 5000 iu daily. The last message I sent her was asking if she wanted me to have my vitamin D or any other tests done before my appointment on Friday. She seems pretty convinced it’s the testosterone despite not even testing my level...

@Nelson Vergel do you have any insight? I’ve been trying to find a study showing testosterone increases ALP. I’ve only been able to find studies showing men with low testosterone being treated with TRT and their ALP dropping.

Honestly, if your PCP isn’t willing to take over treatment you’ve been on for 6 years it might be time for a new PCP.

UPDATE: I finally got the results back from the specialized test. I have an in-person appointment with my PCP next Friday. What questions should I ask? I know she said based on this tests results she would test my testosterone level she says that can be a possibility if it’s too high and...

I agree my LDL was 114 on January 20th. It’s more than a 60% reduction in a few months.

Attached is my most recent lipid panel. The test results I shared earlier this afternoon signal it’s not a liver issue, but can be a bone or vitamin D deficiency thing which also points towards the Lipitor.

Just a weekend update: will probably have more testing on Tuesday.

That’s my primary care/local hospitals webpage option, you can also view it as a line chart, I love it too! EDIT. They out source a lot of their labs to quest diagnostics I just checked.

What’s weird is I feel fine.

Here’s the recent results I started taking NAC 600mg twice daily between these last two tests.

Yeah, my primary care doctor kind of got me freaking out earlier saying it could be cancer or even the testosterone injections. I’m going in tomorrow for a specific test which will determine where I’m my body the ALP is coming from. From my research it’s odd that my ALT and AST isn’t elevated...

My ALP has been around 140 for the last two weeks. It was normal before Lipitor I started in February. My doctor is testing it because I want to go back on accutane. Is this normal? My total cholesterol is <100 now. I had a 60% drop in LDL on 10mg of Lipitor daily. EDIT: welp doctor called...

I’m honestly confused what’s going. It said on expressScripts site the interaction thing. But, deft contacted me saying the pharmacy wanted a copy of my medical records If the pharmacy starts limiting meds like this I’ll have to switch to Amazon pharmacy and have to start paying. I’m on 200mg...

Yeah man. This time around my pharmacy (expressscripts) is being a pain the ass delaying for defy to call them because the testosterone supposedly has potential to interact with metformin both of which I’ve been on for years. So, I’m out of meds for at least a week now

I’ve dealt with the same thing. In my experience, convincing my doctor to put me on mirapex(pramipexole) a dopamine agonist helped. my prolactin was at the top end of normal range. I had no libido my penis was numb, it was like I just had sex 20 minutes ago type of feeling without the euphoria...

Honestly confused. Been using Defy for like 5 years now… a couple years before covid. So, how did covid enable me to receive something, I was already receiving? Testosterone has been the only reliable medication my pharmacy(expressscripts) has, pregnyl (HCG) is still hard to acquire unless...

The CT scan with calcium contrast was by far the weirdest feeling of all the tests done, I thought I peed my pants lol My scoring was 0 as well.

I’m on a mobile ecg holter, they want me to continue my normal routine. I’m definitely taking it easy though.

I actually caught covid for the first time while at the hospital for my heart attack. 3-4 days after I got home I ended up back at the hospital for 4 days because my fever was 103.5 and heart rate around 130 with arterial flutter on the ecg. Other than the fever it wasn’t too bad. I feel great...

I only had one dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine and it was almost 2 years ago. Most of the stories I read of people having clots related to the vaccine were within days or weeks of receiving it so I’m not really correlating it to the vaccine at this time.

Was climbing a tree with my chainsaw about 35’ up. suddenly I was winded, weak, and my vision felt weird. I got down from the tree and my chest was killing me and I got rushed to the hospital. My troponin levels were extremely elevated, ecg was off, and they ran a bunch of tests and transferred...

Correct, it’s 60 days if refrigerated.

This is what Safeway was able to get I paid 24.00 with Tricare for Life. The cash price would’ve been like 165

Great information, thank you!

Update: I was able to find a pharmacy locally (Safeway) to order the Pregnyl, at first the pharmacist cancelled the order (lied initially saying my insurance wouldn’t cover it, they didn’t even try) then the pharmacist told the truth “I’ve never dispensed the medication and I’m not very...

Expensive. My prescriptions are covered by insurance, so that’s the route I intend to take.

Terrific, I’ll call them Monday morning.

Do you know if Defy Medical will be able to send them prescriptions? They told me ExpressScripts is fine because it’s a military federal pharmacy, and don’t care where the doctor is licensed. The email I received from defy says they could send the HCG to a local pharmacy but I need to make...

It’s been a few months now. ExpressScripts my usual pharmacy is even saying it won’t process until 05/24/2023 now. None of my local pharmacies carry it and compounding pharmacies can’t create it now. My sex drive and mental health have steadily declined over the last few months. What options do...

Why do you think it would?
