    Testosterone treatment

    Hi All, So, a bit of a turn of events. I got a call from the Endo this afternoon. It seems he actually spent time having a think about my case. I mentioned the detailed notes I brought along with me, It sounds like he mulled those over in his head and looked at everything. So, basically he...

    Testosterone treatment

    So, an update - Not the news I wanted. Unfortunately, the Endo didn't seem too interested in what I had to say. Before I went to see him, I printed out a full medical history, with a very detailed explanation of my past, both mentally and physically (didn’t even open it, when I asked him he said...

    Testosterone treatment

    Just an update on this (in the event that anyone might be wondering), So I got hold of the Endo that @IguBu suggested to arrange an appointment. Initially they gave me a date for next month, but I got a call today saying there is an opening next week. Very happy about that as I am reaching a...

    Testosterone treatment

    Hey Bud, quick question if you don't mind... What did your underlying issue turn out to be that they were able to resolve for you? I just tried calling this gent to book an appointment but they only open a bit later. Anyway I am still going to go ahead and make the appointment, just interested...

    Testosterone treatment

    Hey man I will check this Endo out shortly. This may sound silly - were you on TRT injections when you refer to injections? With regards to the Endo, What did he find that was was able to resolve your issues? My next worry is if I go and see an endo, and they complete the blood work - What are...

    Unfortunately Don't think that is going to cut it for me, I follow a very strict Keto lifestyle that does include a good amount of coconut oil :)

    Testosterone treatment

    Once again, Thank you everyone for the responses, it really is appreciated. I also posted on Reddit for additional advice (posted the blood work I had done and the results). The advice I have been giving is basically, Yes I fall into the lower normal Testosterone, but what they are flagging is...

    Testosterone treatment

    So just a bit of my "history" to clear some things up - I have had a perfectly "healthy" childhood. I had great parents (mom passed away a while back, and no this is not the cause of my issues, I had all of this many years before her passing), still have a good relationship with my family. On...

    Testosterone treatment

    Are you in Cape Town? I have also looked for a endocrinologist that has even slightly positive reviews, but everything I have found has been pretty lackluster. A normal GP will not know how to interpret the blood work properly and I don't want to waste my time and become more negative.

    Testosterone treatment

    Hi Guys thanks for all the responses again, it really is very much appreciated. @Gozado With regards to the root cause - I feel like the root cause is low testosterone / high estrogen. As I mentioned, all of the "effects" I have are symptoms of this from what I have read. And over the years I...

    Thanks @Naks I will take a look at the link you suggested. I have tried CBD oil and it did not help me. Perhaps a very temporary relief but it did not cure the root cause at all.

    Testosterone treatment

    Thanks for the responses. @bixt, I am very scared of going down the route of self medicating. I'm assuming what you are suggesting is not legal? Honestly, its not that I have an issue with going that route, its that I worry I would screw it up and get doses etc wrong. From what I understand...
