[QUOTE="JD_LEO, post: 6836, member: 1103"] Thank you all for the information. I am not taking HCG as of yet. I was in shock when I had my first visit, and had no idea what TRT was when I walked into the office. However, she was pretty sure of her diagnosis after the hearing my complaints. This was the first time I had seen the female Dr., and there was not much trust. Add, the fact I did not have the information that I have today, there was not a lot of questions on my end. Once my Dr. learned from my patient history that I was graduating law school this May, she had a lot of reservations giving me the script. She felt there was a great risk that I would eventually sue her due to a lot of the class action litigation involving TRT..lol. After explaining that I was giving complete informed consent and agreed to sign a waiver if needed, she felt comfortable. This location is internal medicine/endocrine office so it was not like this was their first rodeo involving TRT. I just felt it was a lack of trust. As far as diet, I do a reasonable job eating a modified paleo diet. I have been trying eat low carb/high protein just to keep my insulin from spiking all the time from a high carb intake. I love bread and potatoes so this has been hard but I am getting there. I have lost 30 lbs since January through exercise and diet. I will try to be patient as possible. This was not an easy decision based on the fact once you are on TRT, it does not seem an easy process to go off. I am just looking forward to living again. When I look back at how long this has probably been a problem, it is frustrating this was not diagnosed sooner. I have a follow-up blood work scheduled for May. I am just glad that this site and Nelson's book has given me a good comfort level in case of anything abnormal occurs before my follow up visit. I will note that my first script was for androgel. However, I lost my private insurance when the law changed. The new insurance would not even touch this prescription. Close to 400 a month, and that was with a savings card. Thank god for compounding pharmacies: $70.00. Again, thanks for the insight and expertise. [/QUOTE]
