Guest guest Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Steph, I think you know the right answer. Find a different Endo. If you are on T replacement then, IMO, you should be monitored quarterly for both T levels and E levels. It only makes sense. Unless for some reason you are absolutley stuck with this Endo (perhaps you are in Canada) then find a new one.

Guest guest Posted May 17, 2003 Report Share Posted May 17, 2003 Not Canada, but Scotland UK! Getting a new Endo is not so simple unless I go private and unfortunately that is not an option (except for one appointment).

Guest guest Posted July 14, 2005 Report Share Posted July 14, 2005 I saw my endo yesterday and he made the statement to me that " High E2 does not affect anything. It does not affect your Libido " Well, I hit the roof and proceeded to educate him. I was surprised that he took it in a very good way and asked me to bring in the books and articles I was quoting, he would read it. Well, that gained back a degree of respect from me. I will do just that. Greg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 A spike in T will make you feel flush maybe in a few days it will go away. That is sex abuse your Dr. trying to get you hard. Are you in the U.S.A. Phil rick <pricksau@...> wrote: My endo won't remove the implants, i have had many run ins with him and have written a few letters of complaints against him ( about the way he handles me-litrally)(ie- up to a few yrs ago, he always had me undress and then would try and get me hard) it wasn't until i went somewhere else when he went on a holiday, that i realised all that i had to do was undo my button on my jeans. When he came back, i refused to strip down and left my jocks on, I was bruised for a little over 3 months. But I refuse to give in, and have told him ur meant to be the best here, so I will stay with him. I don't undress anymore, and i always make sure there is someone with me all the time, while under going treatment. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 I had actually tried another clinic, it was suppose to be one of the top 3 clinics in the world, but after 4 visits I stopped going due to having staph infections within 2hrs of having the implants. So I went back to my original endo, now that I know better and he has said on many occassions if I am not happy with him, he could send me to another, but I have refused on the simple grounds I was abused by my father, and 5 yrs ago I took him to court, but the bastard went and blew his brains out, so I figured if I quit seeing my endo he wins and I am not going to give him that satisfaction, I rather have him walking on broken glass. No I am not in the USA, I am down under in Perth, Western Australia. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 19, 2005 Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Hi, There is no way a staff infection should result from pellets. It is not the fault of the pellets but poor medial care by the doctor. All implements need to be cleaned and cooked in an oven to insure they are sanitary. Trays of tools are covered with foil and only opened in front of the patient. Proper use of anticeptic solutions on the skin is just normal and essential. The doctor is probably being sued by dozens of patients already. There is no problem with infection by competent doctors in the US. ernestnolan > > > I had actually tried another clinic, it was suppose to be one of the > top 3 clinics in the world, but after 4 visits I stopped going due to > having staph infections within 2hrs of having the implants. > > So I went back to my original endo, now that I know better and he has > said on many occassions if I am not happy with him, he could send me to > another, but I have refused on the simple grounds I was abused by my > father, and 5 yrs ago I took him to court, but the bastard went and > blew his brains out, so I figured if I quit seeing my endo he wins and > I am not going to give him that satisfaction, I rather have him walking > on broken glass. > > No I am not in the USA, I am down under in Perth, Western Australia. > > Cheers > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
