[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 141243, member: 26136"] My ferritin issue predates TRT and wasn't properly managed by at least 4 physicians. Reference range medicine is certainly something many here have had problems with and that certainly allowed for this condition do go unchecked. The cause hasn't been found regardless of the phlebotomies. I've had upper and lower GI scopes to find causes. Pill cam is next and if thats a dead end then looking for other causes would be next. As for my H and H numbers, they elevated too quickly to be managed. Had I refused my treatment would have halted anyway. I am essentially trapped in my treatment options and unless a physician signs off on the prescription I can't self inject which is the only way I can make TRT work. Thats going to be part of my discussion tomorrow with my Endo. We were never able to determine the cause of the Low T to begin with however my symptoms all started with the sleep fragmentation caused by low ferritin. I have been to so many specialists during my 2.5 year struggle and the biggest breakthru was after the second iron infusion. I am confident this has been the issue the whole time and will see this through until either I am off TRT or back on something like Clomid assuming my levels recover. I am also aware the protocol wasn't right but again, I had no options. So all thats left is for a change in therapy options to afford me time to find the cause and attempt a restart after the cause is treated. [/QUOTE]
