[QUOTE="madman, post: 53125, member: 13851"] Glad to hear CC. I took your advice and spoke with Laurie Rigg from CHIC clinic related to the TruBalance network. I sent her my most recent labs and she looked them over and said Dr. Kiellerman would treat me so she wants to send me a new blood requisition and get everything done again as theirs is extremely thorough and than wants to set up an appointment to see him. Unfortunately they prefer to start most patient on the compounded test cream even though he does prescribe injections if the patient does not respond well to the topical and agrees that reaching the high/normal range is optimal. We exchanged many emails as I had so many questions to ask and she seems like a very knowledgeable understanding NP and that my views on being treated for trt are along the same lines as Dr. Kiellerman and she feels he would be a good fit. It is $450 for the first appointment than you see him twice yearly at a cost of $250 each visit. I just have a hard time with the whole bio-identical hormone thing even though they state trt also. At least with the compounded creams on average most patients are prescribed 50mg-100mg twice daily although everyone is different and would respond to individualized protocols. She is waiting to hear back from me as I am still some what unsure because I also have to see my new GP in a few weeks and actually bumped into my now retired GP at a walk in clinic and showed him my most recent labs and asked him again for a referral but he said I would have to wait until I see my new GP. After looking at my blood labs he said this seems to be an ongoing issue and asked if I wanted to see an endo/uro and I mentioned Dr.Greenspan and he said he would be a good choice and to ask my new GP for a referral to see him. So Laurie wants me to do the new blood work and book me to see dr. Kiellerman 3rd week of November but I think I would rather see Greenspan. When you first went to see Greenspan what levels were your TT/FT at? I am low/normal TT........LifeLabs range 8.4-28.8nmol/L and mine was11.7nmol/L (336ng/dL) and low/normal FT................LifeLabs range 196-679nmol/L and mine was 225nmol/L I am sure yours were much lower than mine from reading your previous post so not sure how Greenspan would look at my numbers as they are not low but low/normal as I am still in the range? Do you have any idea how he would view a patient with my levels? In the US LabCorps range is 350-1197 ng/dL a over 100+ points on the low and high end TT range compared to Canada. Let me know if you think it is worth a shot to try and see Greenspan................a good sign was that he likes to see patients levels in the high/normal range. Take care. [/QUOTE]
