[QUOTE="Vettester Chris, post: 33472, member: 696"] Agree with what Jackie has stated, along with others!! Unfortunately, sometimes a doctorate degree can tend to transform a few select individuals into demigods; giving them a distorted perception that their knowledge on all subjects is by far superior than any mortal undergrad could ever comprehend. I had an endo at one point try to convince me that I was reckless and in danger of cardiac arrest with test serum over 700ng/dl. He also said it was illegal for any patient in the US to administer their own injections!! His rationale was that this is why it is called a scheduled "controlled" substance; meaning that it had to be completely controlled for treatment from a medical professional!! When anyone knocks you because you are learning Online, you can be assured that person doesn't give a rat's a$$ about your welfare!! Turn about, run like hell and never look back!! LOL, my GP (also a female) started encouraging me to go to medical school. She admits, HRT isn't her strong suit, but she pays close attention to the details of my HRT program outside of her care, and we have productive conversations about it. Even on subjects that she might not agree with me on, she will (by means of intelligence) challenge me to articulate the subject deeper, so that I'm not just parroting certain talking points that sound good. Things like half-life, and minimizing E2 spikes are things that she could grasp when it's presented somewhat scientifically. Anyhow, my point is that there needs to be some type of partnership with your physician(s), with a level of mutual respect, it has to go both ways. I know with my GP, I better sharpen the pencil and put my "A" game on, because she's incredibly smart, and only giving her bits and pieces, without being able to backup my objective will only lead to gaps.
