Message: <blockquote data-quote="OldSoul" data-source="post: 31091" data-attributes="member: 12767">Hi CoastWatcher,I am definitely willing and *probably* able, though obviously I would want to keep costs down as much as possible.  If we are talking less than $500 or so it is no problem.  If we are talking $1,000 or more, it could take me a little time. I Know DefyMedical has very reasonable prices, I just wasn't sure if he handled this type of issue?  I've been wary to pay anything out of pocket because I've had very little success with doctors in the past, and I have very little trust in them.  Though, none of them were of the caliber of Dr. Crisler, or even close to it.My current doctor, a nurse practitioner, ordered the tests at my request.  She's very helpful when she can be, she just isn't very knowledgeable about male hormones.  Though, in her defense, she did say my TSH was a bit on the high side and she prescribed me a medication ( I believe it was levothyroxine, though I don't remember for sure) but I opted against it because I wanted to consult with a specialist before I started taking medications for my thyroid.  I just wasn't sure if I could trust her judgement or not because I've read so many horror stores about doctors in this area.My stomach issues were never resolved.  My GI doctor told me if I became a vegan all of my stomach issues would be solved.  That was what he told me on our very first visit before any tests or anything.  He was a vegan himself.  He also prescribed me what he said was a strong antibiotic to wipe out the bacteria in my gut, then gave me 1 week of Align probiotics to replenish it with good bacteria.  From what I've read since then, I feel that may not have been a good idea.  Though, like I mentioned, going Paleo has mostly cleared them up.  However, the past couple of weeks they have been resurfacing a bit.  Possibly due to breaking the diet and drinking a few times around the holidays?  Thanks CoastWatcher, I really appreciate your help!</blockquote>
