[QUOTE="CoastWatcher, post: 62502, member: 2624"] We're glad you joined EM, but I'm afraid to say that you have been victimized by a very poor protocol prescribed by a doctor who isn't in tune with how to manage a patient undergoing androgen replacement. Your post is long and discursive, but I'll try and respond to your major points. Most importantly, for your future health, your determination to seek a new doctor is the right one. I can't speak to your financial situation, but money you invest now in your health is money well spent. Your good insurance is putting your health at risk. You received an inadequate workup, you were prescribed a protocol at the upper end of TRT, and you have not been properly followed during the weeks you have been injecting testosterone. You had no blood drawn to monitor your response for 11 weeks? It's typical to check it at the six-week mark. Given the significant amount of testosterone you were injecting, 50mg every 3.5 days is a typical, starting dose, it's even more important to check things. If you were injecting on Monday and Friday you weren't on a 3.5 day schedule - which may have spiked your estradiol and/or cleared testosterone from your system so that you experienced the worst of both worlds. We won't know until you have your labs, but it's a potential concern. Two weeks of no testosterone at one point...it's no wonder you don't feel good considering the care you have received. It's a mess. You may well have gynocomastia - but we aren't doctors. Many men experience nipple sensitivity, and it's usually no worry, when they start TRT, but a good general surgeon can tell you. If you live in a community of any size Google the two terms, "gynocomastia" and "surgeon," along with your place of residence and I'd be astonished if you didn't find some names. We have seen members find treatment a number of times by doing this. It would certainly help out your mind at ease - you're clearly dealing with a lot of anxiety. Let us know how your labs look, and call Defy tomorrow to start the intake process (or at least discover what the costs are). You deserve so much better than you've received so far. [/QUOTE]
