How long has everyone been on TRT and have you been happy with the decision to go on? Also what delivery method have you found to work best.
I ask because I started with a TRT clinic, big mistake. Docs didnt want to do follow up bloodwork until 6th month and had me on 200mgs a wek injections. I felt great but got my own test on hematocri, lipids, all things I knew I should be watching and not only after 6 months. I decided to bail on the clinic and find a real endocrinologist that specializes in androgen replacement. After alot of googling I came acrod Dr. Hulinsky. I went to Dr. Hulinsky who is mentioned in this forum and others as one of the gurus in CT. First let me say the man is a complete professional who spent alot of time taking medical history and detailed all of the bloodwork that the clinic failed to perform searching for primary or secondary issues. It was so refreshing to meet someone that knew far more than what I have read in so many books that caused me to seek him out and question my TRT clinic doctor.He is not in the business of selling testosterone like many of these clinics. THe fact that he accepts insurance proves that. He has me coming off the injections so he can get all my baseline numbers tested. I am now back to where I started, no libido, can get it up with ED drug assistance, not feeling as great as I was on. However on my BP was high, hematocrit just under 52, all things I do not want to deal with. My health is more important to me than my libido and drive. I am just wondering what others have found longer term and trying to decide if my baseline shows secondary and no other issues, if I should take on the risks or just let things be.
