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!
A doctor needn't return a patient to a hypogonadal state to manage their protocol and health. Given the possession of pre-therapy labs, accompanied by current labwork and a thorough discussion of symptoms and response, it is standard procedure for a doctor to adjust and move ahead...presuming they are confident and knowledgeable. Patients change their medical provider all the time and aren't put through this.
I really am sorry you have to deal with this. Many here at EM have had the experience of initially consulting a doctor who wasn't up to speed in regard to male androgen therapy. It can be a long and painful process, the patient's the one in pain, of course, to obtain the services of a capable physician. But they are out there. If you want a referral we can easily provide one.
