[QUOTE="miked123, post: 20096, member: 7549"] Ugh, this blows and I completely sympathize with the frustration others here are facing. I was just about to start exogenous T, but thankfully saw this thread as I was waiting for my doc to send me my prescription. I've never had a clot, but a 1-2% risk was too much of a gamble for me, and the $400 - $500 (with insurance) for the labs was a paltry sum relative to not dying. I had all the tests ordered by Dr. Glueck, here's what he said: Some follow up questions I asked him: 1. Is there any medication (ex Xarelto) or supplements (ex Rutin) that you believe could prevent thrombotic events were I to take exogenous testosterone? Anything promising on the horizon? 2. If I do not go onto testosterone therapy, would you still recommend some kind of daily anti-coagulant, ex Xarelto or Warfarin? 3. The doctor also prescribed thyroid medication, I think it was Synthroid or Armour Thyroid. Do those types of medications also increase the risk of thrombotic events? To the same or lesser extent than testosterone? His answers: Some further questions: Given what I've inherited, is DVT-PE only a problem in the presence of exogenous test? Do you recommend any regular labs or any medication to prevent DVT-PE? Are there certain symptoms you believe are reliable early warning signs? His answers: ============ Interesting that he believes thyroid medication would have no effect. [/QUOTE]
