thanks for everyones advice, but im not tryin to deal with doctors on this subject, actually i am trying to steer as far away from them as possible.... could be bad, but i only see the endocrinologist every 6 months. the other doc i see is a general doctor and he has to refer me to the other doc, but he tries to take care of what he thinks he can without having to send me.doctors seem to think they know everything. usually if im having a question about something that involves my injections he'll prescribe me something to get rid of the problem, but the side effects from the new prescription cause another problem to where they can have me on all kinds of prescriptions. at one point they had me on 10 different kinda meds. i just decided not to take anything but the testosterone. working out and diet seem to get rid or assist in getting rid of the other problems. i know i can get other stuff from other doctors, but the bullshit i have to put up with along the way is not worth the trouble. this is why i am looking for a reliable source online, the source will usually have experimented with the product himself (unlike doctors) and if the source hasnt used that particular product , im sure he would know more about it than the doctors i see, being he deals it . usually when i state my problem to the doc who refers me to endocrinology, he does what any average joe would do, looks online and finds out what it is, the definition, and reads up on it, just like something you or i would do. what makes him better than you or me? he can prescribe drugs? only legally.........
