[QUOTE="Stpfan, post: 236980, member: 39333"] I appreciate the posts fellas. Yes, I've tried to do frequent injections... small dosages everyday. I feel like sh##. I tried every day for a few weeks. I tried every other day for a few weeks. Doesn't change the way I feel. Every 3rd day seems to be the best choice. But again... I just feel "mentally" awful at times. Just comes out of nowhere. Anxiety. Lethargy. Loss of confidence. I'm really upset at my Endocrinologist. I already made an appointment for a new Endo... But I can't see him for about 3 months from now. I'll see my current Endo 1 more time in about 2-3 weeks from now... but if he doesn't listen... I'm done. My PCP is absolutely worthless... every condition I have... she says it's from your TRT and have your Endo look into it. Every problem I have that I explain to my Endo he says... have your PCP take care of it. I relay this back to my PCP and tell her... my Endo said it's ok for you to handle it... she says... I don't want to get involved. It's an absolute merry go round of sh##. Here's what I do know from being on TRT for 3 years.... 1. Systemlord... I think you said this in quite a few threads before... watch your blood donations... sometimes the iron and ferritin levels just don't come back. After numerous lab testing... and donating about 9 pints of blood in about 558 days... after my last donation in October 2021... my levels were never restored.
