Problematic situation with testosterone now!

[Guest guest]

My GP just called me. He tells me that he discussed with a Hematologist today at

a hospital in Oslo, Norway. And they both warned me strongly about taking

testosterone gel, and my GP told me to QUIT taking testosterone gel THIS

INSTANT, cause my Hematocrite is 57 (Range: 40 - 50), and my Hemoglobin is 18.

(Range: 13.4 - 17.0).

He told me that it isn't necessary to drain blood now, but by drinking more

water, quitting testosterone gel AND quitting IRON (how am I gonna get my

Ferritin up to tolerate T3 THEN?) I will probably improve soon.

GP warned me strongly about strokes, and was very serious about this. He also

told me that Hertoghe runs a risky business because my GP has not received ONE

note from him sine I started at Hertoghe's clinic in March this year. GP does

not know what's going on with my medications, doses, Hertoghe's plans for me

improving etc.

GP also told me he wants to maybe put me into a hospital on Monday to find out

if I have some diseases; Polycytemia, and Hematomacrosis, and other things, just

to be sure. FINALLY the public health system is reacting! I always thought they

are bad at running tests over here. It is a free health care system, but it is

NOT fast, nor thorough, imho.

Anyway... This is my situation. Hertoghe won't be back til September, and I am

being told to quit TESTOSTERONE GEL and IRON today.

Phil, will quitting 2 pumps daily down to Zero be ok? I guess I will become

sleepy and tired, but it's not DANGEROUS to quit cold turkey with testo gel is

it? It would be more dangerous to continue taking it now, I think.

I don't know how to feel. I am scared. Should I run to the ER and drain some

blood, or???
