Hospital Digest Number 4412

UK 18th August 2010

Hi there

Great - Hospital is best place.

I have read some more of your msgs:

Just relax now.

Hypothyroidism is a diagnosis Internationally as is Hypopituitarism, so is high

Haemocrit!!

That's why I emailed you the medical article/review on the subject.

Several people have told you about the need to have a vene-puncture ie to have

blood taken

ca 500ml or more. I have sent you an Internationally regarded Medical Review on

the subject

of ca 30 pages which you can show or even just quote the reference to a hospital

in Norway

and they will be able to read if they are not used to this high Haemocrit level

following

Testosterone Replacement.

However, I do feel you and your endocrinologist also have to consider the high

level of

Testosterone you have been taking.

Try not to drink alcohol prior to the hospital visit.

Tell us how you are after hospital and what they do: Good luck!
