[QUOTE="Will Brink, post: 64228, member: 2074"] You'll find a number of docs, etc here who have experience and or can refer you to those who do. That you're willing to travel is a great thing as you have found the hard way, few docs have a clue here and or willing to treat it sadly. No 19 year old kid should have to suffer like that. At his age with those numbers, good idea to rule out as best you can by process of elimination as you are. There is an indirect link and raising T often raises IGF-1. I have seen that effect many times. I not sure what the specific mechanism is of that effect. For his age and those T levels, a tad on the high side and may be a function of his bodyfat levels and other factors. It may come down naturally once other issues are addressed. If T is corrected, he feels better and gets some exercise, etc, and the bodyfat drops, E2 may correct itself. I don't mean to throw all endocrinologists under the bus, but I have found them to be consistently the most disappointing docs I have had experience with. I'm not sure what that's the case. [/QUOTE]
