I am banned!
As per Chip's recommendation, I feel the need to address a few things.
Quick history of me: During February 2010, I noticed a decrease in libido. I attributed this to the winter season and thought things would pick up during the spring/summer. It did not and had gotten progressively worse. I made an appointment with my primary doctor to have my testosterone checked and sure enough, it was low. With a reference range of 250-1100, I was at 179. She called me to tell me my testosterone score and asked for my pharmacy's phone number so that she can fax them a script for Androgel. I said, no and much rather she use her pen to write out a referral instead of a prescription.
I had seen my endocrinologist and he explained my condition more in-depth and he too, wanted to run a trial of Androgel. With the school semester drawing near, I decided not to go ahead with his recommendation. I needed time to think about it and look into it for myself so during the semester I researched all I can about testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), hypogonadism, hypothyroidism, SLOH, andropause, etc., etc. I wanted to know what I was getting into since I was scared at the fact I would be injecting "steroids" in which we all know the negative connotation associated with it.
As you can see, I not complacent with what I'm told and need to know things for myself. I don't rush into things. I get that all the time. I am very happy that I waited because I believe, "Good things come to those who wait." Sometimes we are too quick to rush into things because we need instant gratification. I am not that way at all. I am very deliberate and decisive.
Sometimes, I may come off as a hard ass and I can assure you guys, that is not my intention at all. I jus' ask tough questions and part of the problem with me is that I am too forward or blunt. So if anyone has been offended by my forwardness, I apologize and again; my intentions are good.
