Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 So i was thinking about going to see Crisler to do more test as my thyroid and testesterone isnt enough and more test are needed. Well once i emailed Kim his assistance these are my question.. 1) Should i tell my Primary care physican to call him or go there personally because im going to go there just to talk to him? And then come back home and do the test shouldnt it be other way around do the test and if something wrong then go to him. 2)Why is the consultation going to be 1 and 1/2 hours what will happen? 3) why is airfare to lansing 900$? im traving from oppisite end or is this for all state?

A lab-work requisition form will be sent home with you after your visit, and the tests ordered may be performed at your lab of choice. Any prescription(s) may be filled at the pharmacies that we use or may also be sent with you to be filled at your pharmacy of choice.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2009 Report Share Posted January 26, 2009 1. You can talk to your PC, but he or she may get pissed off. The cost is the same, whether you see him or your doctor calls him. If your doctor calls him, your doctor will have to be the one to prescribe any medication Dr. J recommends. Your doctor may or may not agree with prescribing the medications and/or amounts, especially since testosterone is a schedule III controlled substance. I would recommend you visit Dr. J and that establishes the doctor patient relationship lawfully. I am not going to speak for him, but I changed from a previous physician to Dr. J and I brought him my old labs. We then scheduled all the labs Dr. J wanted, then had a voice visit to go over them along with the recommended treatment. 2. The consultation is between 1 and 1-1/2 hours because he is thorough, and unlike a doctor who accepts insurance and needs to see 40 patients a day @ 2 every 15 minutes, Dr. J will talk to you, get to know you, learn what your symptoms are, talk to you about your health, previous labs and why certain tests are required, diet, etc. To do an honest job at it takes some time. Many symptoms of andropause/hypogonadism are abstract such as erectile dysfunction, brain fog. It is not as easy as looking at an x-ray. 3. It cost me a lot to get there too. I had to stay overnight for another $200 for lodging + dinner, breakfast and taxi.

This will no doubt get much better over time as you become more comfortable with the English language. No problem !

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 evening all, I just had my first Endo appointment with a new Endo. I did my research and he seems understanding and someone I can talk to. I gave him some of my old blood test and I will fax him tests with LH and FSH tomorrow. he wants me to take a Sleep Apnea test. The test he wants me to take are: CBC, compr metab profile, lipid panel, PSA, total and free T, Estradiol, DHEAs, 170-progesterone, prolactin, tsh -dx: hypoganadism. recently, I had the chance to be a dad and he was stillbirth at seven months... After the Endo told me I couldnt conceive, i then told her, but I still have that fear..... I remember all I have been through with primary and what my first good Endo told me, sure I still dont think I can again, but this new doc told me, wait until I am a professional and whomever she will be is stable in her career, and then plan it. He said my testicles are small but not small enough not to possibly conceive. He said once me and this person are ready, come see him and Ill take a semen test and may be put on a fertiity drug. After since June, when i lost him, I still think of him and what could have been, I also think i will not have that opportunity again. When I do meet someone again, Ill hold off expressing this, i may have a slightly or slightly not average penis which still bothers me, but i think i will not mention my condition because not every person and female can understand. Im 31 just started college again, so I dont have a career yet, but in a year i can be in a field working while still going to school. I only hope whomever I meet can understand the potential and not focus so much on what I dont have. I know me, and i know I will continue to do well and with her, push myself harder because I do what the family and commitment. Anyways, Dr. isn't the only Endo doc that will simply understand and listen and then put into action. If you live in NYC / NJ / PHIL make the commute to NYC and Ill help you find a qualified Endo with your insurance and we'll call and email some docs if you dont have insurance. Later.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 Decided to leave The Apple? What happened to your Gyno? I had three separate surgeries for it. I still have breast fat but I am loosing weight. If I could have another surgery this time properly done, I would. But now my nipples have no sensation and they are inner, rather than outer. I am not comfortable showing my chest but once I loose more weight perhaps intimately.
