[QUOTE="stx359, post: 133358, member: 19129"] My intention wasn't to initiate an internet argument on here so I cringe when I read a statement that begins with "you need to" and ends with the obligatory exclamation point for emphasis. I was merely reading the thread and reiterating the facts that the man reported. His testosterone was perfectly normal for his age. He initiated a therapy he probably did not need. He felt awful. He discontinued the therapy and feels great now because his body produces an adequate amount of testosterone on its own. I didn't bash anyone by name and the only opinion in the thread was the choice of the word unscrupulous. You are correct. I should not have used that adjective as there may be some diagnostic information that we do not know. However if you polled ten endocrinologists on what they would do with a middle aged man with a perfectly normal testosterone who was feeling "blah" I doubt any of them would choose to prescribe TRT. Let us not pretend that there isn't any financial incentive for these clinics. They are businesses not benevolent organizations. Even the folks that operate this particular clinic would probably admit that this wasn't their proudest moment. Again not intended to initiate an internet brawl so I apologize if you took offense.
