Open Apology

[toast]

I want to apologize for behaving rudely in my response to posts about my issue with hypogonadism and fatigue.

You all were attempting to help me by providing some new ideas and I stupidly lashed out for no good reason.

While I don't think it will be helpful for me to go and demand a whole bunch of tests and put my doc on the defensive, you have given me information to at least be able to fact check what she suggests and go from there.

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try to keep my cranky attitude in check and get along better in the future.

Don't worry dude, irritability is all part and parcel of low testosterone I know all to well how some doctors are with discussing male sex hormones

You have just provided another proof that you have hypogonadism.
Better to lash out and get minimal release than comit suicide as one very close to me person did.

Do not worry about you doctor.
Ask him for a bunch of tests, politely, but you have to have them to figure out next step.
Make sure you get a copy and post it here with ranges.
You have the list, if not I can repost it.

If you could get to see Dr John, that would be the best move.
Hi is also available as a consultant to your doctor.

You could always just go threw LEF and get the male hormonal panel for 220ish bucks.

It's a start man. We all lash out from time to time. We all don't come back to say sorry

Right now $220 might as well be 20 grand. I know that's pathetic, but I'm broke man. Luckily my wife's insurance has a low copay or I'd be really screwed. Thats why I'm kinda at my docs mercy.

Don't worry man 220 bucks is a lot for many of us.

If that is not the case, LEF membership cost $75/year, good value at first purchase of blood test.

Thanks for the link, $40 isn't to bad. How is the blood taken for these tests?
