I have actually changed doctors just on the basis of their arrogant attitudes. I want a doctor that I can talk to who actually listens to me. I know that doctor searching is very frustrating but when you do find the one you can work with your care is much better! I would be very skeptical of this.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I did joined something very similar to this at a place called Fibro and Fatigue centers. Waste of money. They were great in the beginning but as soon as I hit the " $1000 " mark, they began cutting way back on services that I needed. It literally became a headache to get them to do anything after that. In my opinion, I wouldn't do it.

Guest guest Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I've never had a doctor that didn't give me good service, It's what doctors are supposed to do. You should be able to get good advice and attention from your doctor without having to pay extra for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I don't like this crap one bit I have my Heart Dr. he was an Endo in Italy treating people for Pituitary problems. When I became his patient he was going over all my hormones and told me I should be on Growth Hormones and get my insurance to pay for it. I feel he is better at this them the Dr. treating me now.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2010 Report Share Posted December 18, 2010 Phil and programer I too got the same letter. The problem is I like my doc.I'm sure we are all seeing the same guy Dr.s. He was recomended on this site.Trying to find a good knowledgable doc is tough.What do you do now? I don't like the idea of paying any additional money but what other choices do we have? Let me know if you guys hear of other docs that are as good and I will do the same. Second part I recently gave blood @ the red cross.They checked m blood for iron content (hemoglobin/hematocrit)? It was 19 very high. I know this is a side effect of TRT. My first doc took me off TRT because of it and the current doc is working with me and seems to be more knowledgable of what really is danger levels.Currently I apply 1/2teaspoon (1 ml)daily of 2% compounded cream and inject once per week 1 ml of testosterone cypronate. Would it be better to inject twice weekly and 1/2 the amount to control the iron/hematocrit? My last test results were good for testosterone 795.I go for blood work next week and will post new results as soon as I get them. I feel pretty good now not great but good and am taking DIM to control estrogen. I hope this works out for us I recently had both adult kids move back home because of their lack of work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
