[QUOTE="Re-Ride, post: 24518, member: 8395"] Hi, Doc will discontinue hcg and will also not prescribe any alternate such as cyp once hematocrit reaches the upper limit of 52%. He specifically does not believe in phlebotomy -ever-. I am now at 50.5% in my 5th month of hcg mono. I posted my labs in the appropriate thread but got no reply. My choices as I see them are: (1) discontinue all HRT cold turkey (2) Leeches (3) blood letting at home; not eligible to donate Anything else? Serum t goals: the end: "I don't play the numbers game" mine: a minimum of 600 or whatever allows me to be minimally functional. At 199 last winter I was writing my will. Please do not suggest another doc, Defy ect. I can only use Medicare. I have over 20 years of letting doctors manage my endocrine levels. It's the same story everywhere. None agree with anything on this site. Who has experience with 2, or 3 above? Are these options safe? Will they work? _____ edit: I still hold this endo in high regard. My appointments have not been rushed. He's thorough. Perhaps he's expecting the hematocrit to level off or has something else in mind. I don't see him simply abandoning my care. Still, it is difficult to understand why therapeutic phlebotomy would be off the table. [/QUOTE]
