HRT patient, my therapy went HAYWIRE! (UPDATE!)

[legbuh]

RE: Dr Michael Scally:

I appreciate the feed back. I will stop everything and let things return to normal. FYI I'm not a patient of Crisler. I just got his protocol on this forum and his web-site. The majority of advice on this forum was that the original amount of "T" should have been aroung 100mg. , 250 IU of HCG twice a week, and a small amount of AI., and a blood test 4 weeks later; then adjust "T" up or down as needed. When I told the sales director of the anti-aging clinic about what I thought a proper protocol should be, his response was that; "we start most of our HRT patients at the 220 mg of "T" per week. We do a follow up blood test 6 months later. Yours is just an extreme case were you are really sensitive to "T" (unquote).

I did like the benefits of being on HRT such increased energy and better mood, increased libido(Except the last 6 weeks of 2009), my achy joint disappeared, my daily headaches disappeared to once a week, my workouts were the best in 20 years..

Why talk to the sales director? Try to talk to their on site doctor (not the clinical advisor, or nurse either).

I know who they are, and went through similar things with them, but quickly found my dosage was too high (at least for Adex...).

If I were you I'd take a couple months off of everything, then start back in with reasonable amounts of HCG and Test. After another blood test of course.

Re: Dr. Michael Scally:

By discontinuing the HCG, am I prolonging the start up of my HPTA asevidenced by the lack of LH and FSH?

The anti-aging clinic did call in a prescription for clomid and tamoxifen to my local Walmart Pharmacy. I haven't picked it up. Should I just skip those meds all together?

As I have said, the protocol is a staged treatment. The options are to stop all meds, including hCG, or use the protocol. I answered your email.
