[QUOTE="MIP1950, post: 208380, member: 42988"] Sorry to hear that you're being sent to a by the book narrow minded endo. Regarding cellular resistance, from what I've read and discussed with my urologist, for reasons unknown, standard dosing of T(100 to 200 mg) doesn't produce the desired results, even if the labs look good, or even excellent. Some malfunction in the hypothalamus is what my doctor says. For some men, a dose that is much higher is 'seen' by malfunctioning or desensitized androgen receptors, as with you responding to 400 mg. I'm not going to say it's that simple and straightforward. If the hypothalamus is malfunctioning, thyroid medication might be needed, even though labs read normal. That is where a doctor who THINKS is needed, not someone who just looks at labs. Maybe there's vitamin D resistance. Just read an abstract about that and it's utterly fascinating. I'm guessing that the private doctors in the UK are expensive, as well as the private men's clinics. Keep trying, man. Don't give up. [/QUOTE]
