im new..... just a few (probably) stupid questions

[Illtemper]

hey i just sent my medical form thing to maximus. i wanna get started ASAP! im sick of feeling like shit all the damn time and only being 32 and in bed at 10pm on saturday nights is getting old! im sure some of you might know what im talking about.

I called the doc actually last week and asked to check my test levels and went for a blood test actually right before i found out about this forum and Maximus... I would assume that the doc probably didnt test for everything Maximus needs so if i need another test done can my insurance pay for that test through labcorp???

Also how long are the scripts for?? I have to say my doc is overly conservitive and i would assume even if im at 200 he will just say im normal and getting older sucks but i cant take the way i feel anymore!! im getting fat over tired and lazy. I have no modivation to do anything anymore and i just feel like a bitch.. Im sick of it and everytime i say something to the doc, he says nothings wrong with me but all the time he has never checked my hormone levels (just found that out, when i called to ask about the test) so aside from him just writing me scripts for anti-depressants (which dont help) he hasnt helped the shityy way that i feel at all and i have to do something ASAP!!! i cant deal with this anymore. So if someone can help me out with the blood test questions and whatelse needs to be done so i can get hooked up and start living my life again rather then riding the sofa cause im so tired and fatigued all the time i would greatly appericate it!!!!!!!!!
Im sorry if all this was answered somewhere else, i tried to do a search but didnt come up with much.... anyways thanks again!!!

New myself and just starting the process but if you submitted the medical questionnaire you should have gotten an email that includes the blood work needed. I would bet your Dr. didn't request everything needed. As long as you have the labs required it doesn't really matter how you get them.

I'm sure Chip will chime in soon and provide some input.

YOU ARE ABOUT TO GO FROM "DOWN TIME" TO "PRIME TIME". YOU SHOULD HAVE GOT YOUR AUTO RESPONSE FROM THE MED-QNNAIRE SUBMISSION AND NOW WE JUST NEED YOU TO GET BLOOD WORK (FROM OUR SITE, PREFERABLY) SINCE YOUR DOC IS A DOUCHE BAG, AND A PHYSICAL. THEN WE CAN BEGIN SOME WHOLESALE LIFE CHANGES.

THE ONLY STUPID QUESTION WOULD BE, "CAN MAXIMUS HRT CHANGE MY LIFE".

WE ALL KNOW THAT ANSWER!

In regards to getting the blood work done, you can get it done by your doctor and covered by your insurance. But, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) has a specific set of tests that must be done for the doctors to properly evaluate your situation and provide the best possible protocol tailored to your needs. The blood work you order from the Maximus site is more expensive than if your insurance covered it, but you actually get the tests you need. There's more to blood work than test levels. My results from Maximus were 3 pages long and was emailed directly to me. Some doctors/hospitals won't even give you the results, they will read them to you over the phone. That's worthless. If possible, get the tests done through Maximus. The little bit of extra cost is well worth it.

this is all good to know so thank you for answering my question! ill have to order it up so i can get this done and get rolling... Chip im all about going from down time to PRIME TIME! i need to get back to prime time, my 2 young boys are running circles around me and i have a very hard time keeping up with the needs they have. being always tired and just feeling like shit as you know is hard to deal with.. i havent felt "good" in a long long time and as i said my doc would just say everything is fine and nothings wrong maybe your depressed, here take these........

So enough of the dumb shit, when i get the blood work done are the results mailed\faxed directly to maximus or do i get them and mail them to maximus???

You definitely won't regret it if you are human.

this sure might sound like another dumb question and i have to ask...

I got hurt 3+ yrs ago in a work accident and after 3surgerys to fix the problems in my arm im sad to say its still not good and now it has caused other problems in my neck with nerve issues.. So from reading about low t and im experimenting in the past with Test, i know back then i would always feel good and healed fairly fast when i did pull something or was just sore from lifting..
So mainly i wanna ask if anyone has had issues with surgery or other problems to where being on HRT helped.... From what i read and correct me if im wrong but having low t would in fact cause the body not to "heal" at a normal rate and could in fact cause other problems associated with pain???
please give me any insight you have on this, im not looking for something to take pain away but everymorning i wake up with pain and the docs have nothing to tell me beside taking pain meds.. Im not down for that, i was hoping builing more muscle and getting stronger would help with the pain issue. In my eyes anything is worth a try to get back to life!!
Thanks for the responses so far!!

Before I got on testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) my elbows and knees were always inflamed after gym work. My hands would go numb a lot at night and my blood vessels wouldn't dilate entirely cause my test level was nonexistent. Now I'm good as gold. I also feel like my body heals a ton faster in general.

just got my test results back from the doc........ my test levels are at 128... i guess that explains ALOT!! i cant say how happy i am that there actually is an answer to the crappy way i have been feeling!!!! Now why didnt he test this before putting me on anti-depressants months ago? Anyways this is good news for me..

Chip, I asked my doc to fill out the physical form so i can get started with HRT.. He checked out the maximus hrt website, looked at the blood chart and is doing the blood test for me which i believe they use labcorp... Im hoping i can then send the results to you so i can get started????

thanks for the info and help everyone!!

i cant wait to start feeling like myself again!!!
