Sorry I wasn't clear. The new primary care will keep my dosage as is and continue refilling. But that's it, no adjustments. the first blood draw he did shows high E. I don't expect him to manage that....

I recently moved from NC to Florida. When i was in NC I spent months finding a doc that would treat low T. I ended up with a brand new primary care doc that was willing to treat me. My wife received a great job offer here, so we moved.... Now that I'm in Florida I found a new Primary Doc. I...

I just did my second at home injection, 3rd total. I feel a lot better overall, but i don't think i'm there yet. I also learned today that my blood, visual and biopsy all tested positive for Celiac disease. So now I need to figure out gluten free life. I used to need a coffee to wake up, and...

To describe my first week on hormone replacement I must compare it to an old car firing up for the first time in years. I was trying to get my life restarted, I got my first injection and then started sputtering to life. I'm far from fixed, jacked or even normal, but I have small glimpses of...

i went script for peace at home and peace of mind. My wife is a nurse and is strongly opposed to self treatment for me. I also travel a lot for work, so i wanted to have it all up and up in case i meet a TSA agent having a boring day. I have terrible luck when it comes to getting away with...

thanks They have them here, but I think they are meant for frail old women. The pictogram shows it around a bicep but i can't get my arm in passed the forearm.

Today's update: Injection one complete! I went for my follow up from the lab results, doc said I was low, as expected, and we would start testosterone. He suggested injections, I agreed. He said 200 every 2 weeks, i asked if we could do weekly and without skipping a beat he said...

as expected, I missed a decimal point in the PSA. I'm at .32, lab range is under 4.

semi-related, do you guys have a recommendation for a reasonably inexpensive but very accurate BP monitor?

thanks for pointing it out. looks like 4 ng/dl is the high end for "normal" for most places. I wonder if she said 3.2 and i missed the "point". I'll certainly follow up when i get the lab paper from them.

In my opinion my last PCP mishandled my testosterone and I already lost confidence in the guy after misdiagnosing a herniated disk and degenerative disk in my back as "arthritic changes". I also didn't like the way he handled a few of my wife's health care issues, so we both canned him. I got...

the endo can't get me in until JUNE! I really don't know if I can deal with my symptoms that much longer plus any additional time for them to pull more labs, schedule follow up and so on.

Thanks for the tip, I sent that request in to my primary's office.
