Not all endos and uros are bad :)

[Guest guest]

I'm a bit blown away. I went to a uro originally for ED issues and discovered

the low T. He started me on Androgel, but was quite willing and cooperative when

I told him I wanted to go on injections. He had not tested for estradiol when I

first went to him but readily agreed to the test. When estradiol skyrocketed he

told me that he was not really up on aromatase inhibitors but was willing to let

me try Armidex. He came to our appointment with notes and research, talked to me

in detail about things to watch for, and handed me a script. He balked at HCG

implementation, saying he was not " comfortable " with prescribing it for me and

it would be best if I talked to an endo about it.

Well, my appt. with the endo was today. Actually he treats my diabetes usually.

But I had told his nurse a few days ago that I was taking Arimidex and he seemed

fine with it. I went to today's appointment armed with Dr. Crisler's articles. I

never even needed them. I asked him if he was averse to prescribing HCG and he

said absolutely not, that he thought it was a good idea and would be helpful,

and (since he knew I hung out here) asked if there was a particular protocol I

wanted to follow.

I was floored. I've heard so many men here speak of the problems that they have

getting doctors to listen to them and accept the validity of these treatments. I

was prepared to do battle or find new doctors. Thank goodness I seem to have

lucked out with my choices. Between that and the collective wisdom of this

group, I'm feeling like I have a fighting chance!

By the way, is any particular " brand " or type of HCG more recommended than

another?
