So I just talked to my endo again - what a jerk - talked to me with an attitude the whole time. I asked him if he thought adrenal fatigue was a possibility - he said cortisol and DHEA came back perfectly normal - I asked him if it was better to test cortisol 4x's a day (saliva tests) and he said no, that AM test was best indicator and that there is alot of "hocus pocus" out there, so I need to be careful what I read.

I asked about hypothyroidism, etc. He said my thyroid panel came back normal, though I don't know exactly what he tested.

I asked if he tested estrogen levels and he said indignantly that if my test levels came back normal, there would be no need to testosterone enanthate levels.

He holds firm that my total test was normal at 397, he considers 300 "low", and HRT is not warranted for me. He also said he has no other thoughts as to why I have the same symptoms as "low test".

He's sending me another form for bloodwork - I'm gonna get tested tomorrow morning and see what happens. I'm gonna find another doctor, this guy is a dead-end.

Is the guy completely oblivious to the fact that you "may" have taken anabolic steroids and thats why you're having these issues?? I mean seriously, how can an endocrinologist be so far out of the loop when thats his field of study!?

Are any of these guys "cool"? What would happen if you came clean with him?

I actually did "come clean" to him... maybe not to the full extent, but I told him... I could tell he was put-off by it. So I'm guessing in the back of his mind, he's thinking that my cycling is what's causing the problem... in truth, my levels were very low YEARS before I ever touched A A S.
