Re: My day at the endocrinology department.(english hospital)

[Guest guest]

what hospital was this and was it NHS

as i had to see endo who is into diabetes as his main field and he was appalling

and asked me none of the queastions you had asked and was in and out with

incorrect info in 9 minutes

my last results were

total t 7.4

sbhg 19

lh 1

fsh 3

total tan ?? whats that?

i am more amazed your doc took you serious on reuslts higher than mine,mine did

not take meseroius at all and as said endo was more than useless as well

My day at the endocrinology department.(english

hospital)

After a life time of erection probelms and low libido i was diagnosed

(in nornmal range but very low, im 28 by the way)with low testosterone

and have been on androgel patches for the past 9 months (perscribed by

local doctor) and seen some improvment, some morning erections and the

new feeling of lust(being horney)and a satisfacory erection with

viagra to have sex (still not great though but a step in the right

direction)and more general energy.

Now the local doctor refered me to the endocrinology department as he

said this was really out side his expertise and i thought great this

is heading in the right direction... ...well after a 2 month wait i had

my first meeting and found out that they didnt even have access to my

original blood tests and then went through all my details, where i

work, what a eat drink etc.......snooze. ........ anyway they have

stopped my androgel patches as they need to retest my blood at its

original levels and possibly do a brain scan........ i have another 2

month wait till before im tested and now have to survive through

christmas and new year, this will sure put a strain on my

relationship! !!

Thanks for listening any way and feel free to post your thoughts as i

could really do with some more info, here were my original blood test

before the patches which i got off the GP, although i still have to

have them tested again.=(

Hey Youngman_trust

I am 33 and was put on Testosterone at your age and went through the

same problems you are having. If I were you I would try to get those

tests because I came off of it the same as your doctor is doing to

you and I crashed big time. I finally did some research online and

found a local Dr. that specializes in HRT for men. He looked at my

labs and said they were crazy to think that I didn't need to be on

it. The endo pulled me off to see what my baseline was and it killed

me I felt worse than I ever had. He put me through two years of this

before I did my own research and found my current doc. I think it

will pay in your case to reasearch for another doc.

Best of luck!!

i see i had not read the last couple of sentences on that mail from youngman

another 2 months is not too bad,my endo was hgoing ot make me wait 4 months to

see again and as said he did not aske any questions and doubted my hypo

secondary and also

and it seems at least he may take it seriously[well hope so] when he sees

similar ereuslts again to those you had before.

as for suggestions in finding doctors ,in UK we are not allowed to do that,well

we can perhaps find someone but if our own doc does not wish to refer us we are

stuck wqith whoever theyt wish to rfere to,in theory they can refer you anywhere

in uk,in practive thats rare.

and we are i guess in NHS about 20 yrs behind that of USA and some other

countries,we dont have many NHS endos whose speciality is male hrt,most arre

either female hrt or diabetes and thyroid endos with little knowledge and

certainly most dont see 13 nmo/l as low t,nor my 7.6 and 7.4 i have had

i weas only just low according to NHS when i was 4.6 earlier this year.
