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...
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.
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.
This is taken from my MyChart test result:

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.
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.
