need advice

[pld]

I need help!! First off I am a reader more than a poster but I am finally fed up with my doc.
A little about me. I am 37 5ft 8in 160lbs. I started testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) about 10 months ago with my PCP we got to a point and then he referred me to a urologist.
Well it is the same as everyone else on here that I read about. He only wants to give me Test and nothing else. I am on 300mg every 2 weeks and for the last month I noticed that I have not had the energy or the erections and most of all the desire that I was enjoying for the last 6 months once he got me on a high enough dose. Well I told him that a week ago and he ordered blood work. I get a phone call today and he wants me to stop the T shots for a month because my RBC is high and he wants to see if it will come down. I do not want to go back from where I came from before TRT.
I don't have the RBC count they are mailing me my results of all the tests they ran. The nurse did tell me that my testosterone was 778 and this was taken 7 days after my last injection.
My doc is one that never checks E2. The only test he runs is Testosterone, Blood Count, PSA and one other one....I will know as soon as I get the results in the mail but seems like he doesn't do alot of the ones that Chip and alot of you guys here talk about. I am just at a lost and don't know what to think or do. I just know that i don't want to go back to feeling the way I did before TRT.

thanks

sounds like your another guy with a bad doc.

donate blood to get your red blood cells down.

also you should consider going with Chip. he will get you fixed up.

Your doc is a tool. You need SHBG and estrogen checked. Go with Chip unless you want to waste a bunch of time and money. Chip's docs are cheap as hell.

theres not alot of doctors that know a damn thing about Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) for men. i have just been put on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) and the doc was telling me about it but was reading it from a book. i just sat there and pretended i didn't know shit about what he was talking about.

learn about this for yourself so you can tell the doctor what you want done. they work for you and you pay them. know what your spending your money on.

Thanks for the reply guys. I filled out Chips medical questioner. I will need to get the phyiscal and the blood work done but I think I will go for it.
I am hoping Chip can do for me what he has done for so many of you!!!

Word, I've been to about 3 doctors and the stuff that comes out of their mouths amazes me.
