Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 The only thing I would do is call this Endro and ask how many men they treat for Low T. Here in MI. I have yet to find one that is any good on low T. Ask if they treat high E2 Estradiol in men with Arimidex and if they use Hcg to treat men with Secondary Hypogonadism my Dr. has sent me to see 3 Endro's and they were not up on Low T. So just because your Dr. told you to see him does not mean he is good. It is up to you to check them out. As for your getting up at night sounds like your E2 is up. Other this what I have said it looks good. Phi gdelregno <gdelregno@...> wrote: Well Guys, Went to see my doctor today and went over all my levels and next steps. He definitely sees it as a pituitary problem and has referred me to an endo (Dr. ph Torre), no relation to the NY Yankeee manager. He does recommend me to having an MRI and stated on my papers that I am to give the endo. I did bring the AACE guidelines with me and he was very receptive to the information and even sat there and read some of it. He did draw out a diagarm on what he thinks is going on with my pituitary based on my current test results. Once I have met with the Endo and he determines my treatment, my doctor wants to see me back in his office. He said that he would consider HCG once the Endo has determined the hormonal issue with the pituitary. He has also told me to stop taking the Androgel because the blood tests the Endo will ask for will be more accurate. He gave me all my blood test results that I am to take with me. The one thing that my doctor did mention was that my PSA level went from .8 to 1.1 since I was one the Androgel (13 weeks)and I have been getting up at least 3 times per night. He thinks its better to stop until the other issue is determined. Do you think this is the right approach ? Is there anything specific I should bring up with the Endo ?

Guest guest Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Say Phil, I will ask that when I talk to the Endo this afternoon. I also forgot to mention that my doctor did ask me about my sense of smell and I did say that I cannot always smell scents. He said there was a possibility of Kallmann's Syndrome. So I started looking up what I could find on this. But I don't know if that would apply to me at this point. In some of the info I have seen it seems to focus on other things and doesn't completely fit my issues. Any info on this subject you could point me to ? guy --- philip georgian <pmgamer18@...> wrote: > The only thing I would do is call this Endro and ask > how many men they treat for Low T. Here in MI.
