More Proof That Some Doctors Are Idiots...

[Nelson Montana]

...when it comes to hormone therapy.

My regular doctor moved and I was issued a new one. But when I asked for my script for HRT (which I've been on for 10 years) he insisted that I get new bloodwork done to see if I still needed it!

What a retard. Of course my levels will be normal because I'm on HRT! Then the jackass said I'd have to go off to see if my levels are low.

Go off? Does he have idea what I'd feel like if I stopped therapy at this point? I could get a fucking heart attack.

Stupid dumbshit.

Okay, rant over. Just sayin'. Take your health into your own hands brothers. The medical community is decades behind in this area.

i have so many douchebag doctor stories. i had one doctor tell me my lipoma on my side was part of my rib and normal... i had another doctor say that my bloodwork came in all normal which wasn't normal
had another doctor say that even though i had mold in my bathroom which was making me sick that i wasn't allergic to mold because my allergy test performed in the same day showed i wasn't and that the mold was okay.

Yea and hey doc, Ive got high blood pressure and have been on meds for that for years. And you gave me a new doc who needs me to go off the pressure meds to see if I still have high blood pressure. lololol

Other than a consult w/ a doc for the purpose of HRT, I'd be very careful w/ even admitting any steroid use. Docs will hone in on the 'roid use if any 'condition', like blood pressure, high cholesterol, etc is found & say 'AHA'.

I Totally understand about the ignorance in the Doctors..., there seems to be a HUGE problem in education with alot of them.
A quick story that ended in a good way:
I basically started out with trying out Test Cream, at a low 5% strength. Such a sad percentage, hell even woman get scripted a 10%-15% cream to help their libido. Some people adapt while others don't take the cream very well. So I told Doctor that if he would let me self-inject, it would be financially more beneficial for me. So, he said, ok lets try it and start at 100mg every 2-3 weeks. Not good, I then explained to him the importance of keeping a steady blood level balance and not going according to the " Man made standard" of keeping Test levels between the 250-850 ng/dl levels. I told him, its HOW you feel under HRT that is most important, NOT what range in between those levels BECAUSE one could be in that man made standard but feel like complete shit!!! Its how a person feels without having to so much as care of what tyhe levels come up at. That is HRT, complete focus, strength, healthy sex life, no moodiness, better eating stimulation, leaner and helathy lifestyle benefits, its a win-win situation ONLY when HRT is at 100% in your life. Guess what, I got a call from my family med Doctor about 2 weeks later, and now HE is on HRT. Aint that some shit??
