I am concerned- UK NHS Doctor will not treat me with testosterone

[craig weston]

Q: My last bloodwork was sound but im deeply concerned that as im self administering TRT myself that i will not be able to afford anymore bloodwork as my GP as wiped his hands of me. Its not possible to know if things aint right apart from experiencing problematic symptoms ???

Have you looked into http://www.discountedlabs.com/ They have the best prices that I have seen anywhere.

Also, are you new to TRT or have you been on awhile? The reason that I ask is that if you have been on awhile and you are "dialed in" on your protocol, then you should not need to test very often.

ERO,

He is in the UK, he can't use Nelson's site.

Craig,

Is it possible to have labs done at a local hospital or clinic?

Thankyou, does 1 home test kit last awhile?

 

[Nelson Vergel]

Craig, I do not know. They should be able to answer that.

By the way, why did your doctor "wiped his hands off you"?

 

[craig weston]

Because he couldn`t agree with my taking T because the BMA say im in "normal range"

 

[craig weston]

He said if i get any side effects i can pay him a visit or he will see how im getting on in 3 months time

Craig, I'm assuming your Dr. isn't giving you a Rx, what are you taking and how much of it

Nelson, doctors practicing in the NHS in the UK can't prescribe TRT if labs are in range. My doctor practiced for a time there and explained that doctors in private practice are not bound to that standard.

Thats what my GP said Coastwatcher. Basically if range is normal they will not entertain TRT. My Gp was like a brick wall on the subject

Unfortunately the NHS are prepared to say normal is same for 30yo male as it is for a 80yo diabetic..... Kinna disgusting

Hi Craig W

I live in the Uk & yep what a drama...I had various tests done privately then tackled my GP with the evidence and after several heated discussions/arguments over many weeks she agreed to scribe me T-gel.
As mentioned before she is clueless as she outright refused to scribe me any AI meds to run with the gel.
And until I sourced some Arimidex the T-gel was doing nothing...my T level didn't budge.
So now I get the T-gel from the doc and order my Ai on line.
As she only allows me to have my T level bloods done on the NHS I monitor what@s going on by having labs done elsewhere.
But i am now kind of sussing by how I feel...a clear head, positive vibe, feeling strong...enjoying life etc...a slight tweek here and there keeps me in what I call the sweet spot.
I did recently try a different protocol but within 4 weeks that ended in disaster...after I had crashed i went back to my old regime and I now feel I have just about nailed it again.

Keep pushing Craig...do let them a-holes of the hook...an incompetent NHS doctor was responsible for my mothers death...I had to throw this into the conversation to get my doc to listen...
