[QUOTE="newguy128, post: 70413, member: 14517"] Newguy, I am a non-SC vet and have been getting my Test from the VA for nearly 15 years. In fact, over the years, I've been Rx-ed T, thyroid, hydrocortisone, Vit-D, sleep meds, chiropractic, acupuncture, physical therapy and a host of other medications/treatments. R. How did you do that? You must have been below the low normal range to the point you had trouble functioning for the VA to assist with TRT? Does the VA mail you your TRT supplies or do you have to go into the clinic every week or two to get your shots? Do they prescribe HCG or Arimidex with the TRT? My Test levels where within the range even tho I was experiencing low-T symptoms. So probably why they wouldn't consider me for TRT. When I asked my PC Doc who he has on TRT and for what reasons? He explained that one of his Vet's had his nuts injured during battle. So I figured he wouldn't even consider me unless I had some SC injury to my nuts or something similar. Your primary CAN do all these things for you. In my experience, however, I would advise to stay away from VA endos. They are way behind on current protocols. R. From what I understand only the VA Endo's can prescribe Test. But I agree they in my experience are way behind times. I asked my PC Doc for Metaformin to lower my insulin levels. He wanted me stop all medications for a month and redo labs and then go see an VA Endo. Even tho I already had labs done showing elevated insulin levels or borderline diabetic. So I had to pay for a script from my TRT clinic to get Metformin which I got for free from a Publix pharmacy. Go figure? The VA has helped me in other medical areas tho which I am grateful for. The only time I ever heard of them withholding certain treatments for SC is for things like dental and even then you can get waivers and/or significant discounts. R. VA dental is a joke in my book, did totally nothing for me when I went there with an infected/swollen and excruciating painful molar abscess, wouldn't even drain it. Then wanted to bang on my abscessed molar with the thick end of her stainless steel tooth picking tool. No thanks honey! She got pissed and wanted to call security? WTF lady? I never heard of any kind of dental waivers or significant dental discounts? Want to tell me how to get those? [/QUOTE]
