[QUOTE="KeyserSöze, post: 14799, member: 3198"] [b]Some Advice for a New Guy (in San Diego), Please[/b] I recently purchased Nelson's book [I][B]Testosterone: A Man's Guide - Second Edition[/B][/I]; it is a treasure trove of useful information and I sincerely appreciate it. I recently (4 weeks ago) started TRT and the book (and online information) have been greatly helpful. Some background on me: - 36 y/o male - No known disease(s) - Very active in fitness and martial arts - Lack of energy, poor sexual performance, irritable, always tired, consistently bad mood, and trouble focusing Because of the above, a friend of mine recommended that I investigate TRT. After a consult at [URL="http://www.totaltclinic.com/"]Total T Clinic[/URL], I was informed that my T level was at 223. They ran additional blood work (included as an attachment) and recommended that I begin TRT. The clinic has me on: - 150mg of Testosterone Cypinate weekly (taken on Fridays) - 50 units of HCG weekly (Taken on Tuesdays). I think they compounded B12 in the HCG to try and help with the MCV and MCH levels. - Their take on Arimidexfor me: "You do not need Estrogen blocker at this time, your estrogen levels were 10.2" My insurance covers the treatment as long as I pay the co-pay of $20/visit. The clinic will not allow me to self administer (testosterone) if I pay with insurance; self administration is only available if I pay cash/card directly to the clinic. While my current situation (going to the clinic every Friday for testosterone shots (I am able to self administer the HCG) is cheaper, it is also very difficult to adhere to with a busy schedule. Additionally, I haven't heard anything about additional blood work after the one-month mark (this coming Friday) until I mentioned it to them. Can you please provide some advice for me based on this information? I am located in San Diego, California and would like to find a doctor that could possibly: - Take my PPO insurance (co-pay is fine) - Allow me to self administer - Be more proactive with the monitoring, vice me having to ask; it would be nice if the doctor is more knowledgeable than me on the subject.
