Hi Josh,

Did you read about him in the Philly Inquirer? They just did an article

about him last Sunday. From what I've found out he treats " tick-borne

diseases " and not just Lyme. I have an appointment with him on 5/25. I

think he does all his tests thru Igenex. But he doesn't take any form of

insurance, so it seems like its going to be a very expensive visit. I have

his phone number and address, e-mail me privately if you want the info.

Take care,

Hi Cooky: Your posting reminded me that I should share my scenario last

week. Was sitting at the computer at home and next thing I knew, found a

tick (dog, not deer tick) just starting to bite me right smack in the middle

of my stomache. I pulled it out quickly, cleaned the area, put Neosporin and

a bandaid without much thought. Until the next day. I had a huge, red, hot,

itchy welt, about 3-4 inch diameter, and the bite area got oozy (ick). It

drove me nuts. So, I called my GP and saw him on Friday. By then, it had

calmed down a little.

Anyway, he said that it appeared to be an allergic reaction but I am to get

tested for Lyme's in a couple of weeks anyway - it takes time before it shows

in blood. (went through that whole game last year while trying to get

diagnosed with the RA). He gave me cortisone cream which helped. The point

(sorry, I digress): this was the first time he had seen me since I started

the AP and he was thrilled. When he last saw me, I had been given an

emergency systemic cortisone shot and was going back to a rheumy at his

insistence. He knew from that point that I was put back on prednisone, then

increasing doses of methotrexate. I had been in a tremendous amount of pain

and was swollen like a sausage. When he saw me Friday, he couldn't believe

it. He agreed to be the dr. to take over when Dr. Trentham releases me (this

month). I do not want to go back to my local rheumy and had told Dr.

Trentham that I wanted this GP to take over. Dr. T was very agreeable, will

see me every 6 months, and provide oversight when needed with my GP. My GP

is very enthusiastic and when the appointment was over, was walking out of

the office, faced still stuffed into my files, still mumbling " Wow, neat! " .

Jim,

I'm in Chicago but I don't know Dr. Brannigan. Where is he located? I've

got Dr. Alan M. Reich who just relocated to Resurrection Professional

building on Talcott Avenue. So far I'm happy with him. I've got a follow

up for blood work in a couple of weeks.

In Jesus Irrational Love,

Tom

Adam, yes by all means be very strong about asking for a blood test

testing for at the least your estrogen and testosterone. And of

course do the blood test in the morning no food and no androgel so

you get a decent " normal " reading. I am sure the experts here will

have further suggestions.

Hey Adam, you best bet, if you are still on therapy is to get your T

levels, free and total, and your E2 (Estradiol) tested.

If you want a very good work-up, you may need to go off of TRT for a

couple of weeks and then have the following panels run:

Total Testosterone

Bioavailable Testosterone (sometimes called " Free and Loosely Bound " )

DHT

Estradiol (specify by the Extraction Method)

LH

FSH

Prolactin

Cortisol

TSH

CBC

Comprehensive Metabolic Panel

Lipid Panel

PSA (if over 40)

IGF-1 (if HGH therapy is desired)

Some of these would be impacted by your current TRT, such as LH and

FSH. But this is a pretty good start. Did you have any labs run

when you were trying the various therapies or did you doctor just

jump you around? Do you feel that these therapies are not working?

How are you feeling?

Me next...

You mentioned you went from 1 patch to 2, 1 gel-pack to 2. I assume

this was because you were just not hitting your mark. If I'm

correct, you may want to mention that to the new doctor. There are

other therapies available including shots, pellets, and hCG (if you

are secondary). Some of the guys here in the group have had great

results with the gels. Perhaps a different type like Testim might

work for you.

I think it's great that you were able to get an appointment with an

endo who actually specializes (or at least knows something about

hypogonadism. That could be very good news for you. I really liked

how thourough my endo was, but became frustrated when he could not

wrap his mind around treatment. Only offered me shots every 2

weeks. If you have an endo who is knowledgeable then wow, how very

nice for you. I can't wait to hear more and hope you really have

found a good one.

Good luck.

I did the same thing with gels going from 1 to 2. Later found out that

my T was about 1100! But E2 was so high it was having no effect.

Get the estradiol level looked at.

What tests has your doc run? Look at the AACE guidelines:

http://www.aace.com/pub/pdf/guidelines/hypogonadism.pdf

See how diagnosis is supposed to proceed. Too may docs put you on gel

before getting all the necessary tests done. Has anyone for example

talked about an MRI with you?

Has he done follow up T and free T tests since you started gel?

Give us a thorough write up of what they've done for you (and to you

;-> ).

Find another Dr. ASAP

Get off the gels. I was on them for years and nothing but trouble.

Get the proper test and start on the shots.

My 2 cents.

see if by coincidence you can find a doctor who is also a patient of

hypogonadism. That may or may not matter.

I use a doc in Palm Beach Gardens. If you don't find one closer, I could give

you her name and number.

I use a doctor in Palm beach gardens also if you don't find one closer. There is a Holyk in Sebastion (a chelation specialist) who is very open and helpful as well.

If you live near MI. Dr. will see you one time and the rest of the time he

will order labs over the phone or Email and treat you this way. So you need to

see him first.

will also work with your Dr. over the phone if he will do this.

Im hoping you still have some refills left because I would go ahead and get them

filled and go back to my original routine. I know others as well as myself have

been suceptible to the same emotional outbursts.

That old doctor is a SOB for taking you off just to see what it would do.

Since you were having success, how dare he recommend such a thing. ly I

think it was none of his business and he went beyond his purvue in taking you

off your successful program.

If you were having problems I could understand his suspucions but what you

were doing was working.

Well, go ahead and tell him the truth and ask him if he is amused.

Getting back on TRT may take a while. There may possibly be a transition phase

once you re-start therapy. I wouldn't stop my therapy unless I had prostate

cancer. Other than that I would simply switch doctors.

Time to talk to Dr. . Considering your situation, I'd get to Dr.

regardless of cost.

If Clomid is the only issue with your Doc I would continue to get

the Test. by script and buy the Clomid online somewhere. Its easy to

find and fairly cheap and you already know what dose works for you.
