Shoot so another 2 month wait to get prescription after first visit??
Yeah, nurse sent me for blood work. Then prescribed it after the next visit. It’s a busy place and long wait list as I’m sure you’ve heard
Ya my apt is may. Wondering if I just got my own dr to do bloodwork right before visit and brought the report if they would go off of that?
I’m not sure. Maybe call in and ask. The receptionists are helpful from my experience so far
How did your April apt go? I had a phone consult with Nurse ( bevause of covid) Did my blood work and am scheduled for visit in July. What took place at your Second appointment?
It was done over the phone because I was sick with covid. Komer said my numbers looked good (I’m a bit over the top of the range for lifelabs total test 35.5 and estradiol 173) and he asked how I felt. Ive also been supplementing with his recommended supplements. Upped my vit D, fish oil, magnesium, etc. I do feel a lot better mentally and physically, my energy is up, joint pain mostly gone, urge to exercise is up alot, body fat down, muscle mass up. However my libido and boners could still be better. He said try viag first, so he gave me a prescription, and there’s a chance it could be mental if my improved #s still aren’t fixing these things. He said he can’t increase my dosage due to where my #s are. So I’m gonna give it more time, keep eating clean and training smart (I’m 37). Lastly my body has adapted to my new test levels, the gyno flare up I had and discussed in another thread has calmed down on its own.
Do they push you to buy supplements from them? What should I expect from my next appointment ( number 2)
Now that I’ve had my bloods done I’m debating about hopping back on some of my left over T as I don’t want to wait the 2 months.
What covid symptoms did you have? And how long did it last?
They don’t sell any supplements. They only recommend, his focus is physical and mental health long term, so the list of recommendations reflects that, a few brands are mentioned in the list. My vit D was a bit low based on the first blood test and they recommended that up my dosage for example, no brand specified. Next appointment for you is dosage, prescription, and they give you a crash course on how to withdraw and inject in the office.
I know what you mean about starting right away. That’s a personal decision for you. I decided to follow his protocol exactly for the first while to see how it all goes. I still have access to ug labs but I don’t want to go near that world again. I’m always gonna be tempted to up my dosage if I have extra on hand. They prescribed me the delatestryl aka test enth, and you get exactly enough to last you until the prescription refill. On my last injection I was a touch short because of the little amount you lose in the syringe each injection. Having extra might be smart in that case.
How often are you given prescription refills? If They aren’t going to take another set of labs at next apt I may just do 100 mg weekly until then. I assume he does once a week injections? Was there any mention of scrotal cream as a possibility? I assume it’s not until your 3rd visit that you actually see Komer?
Somewhere around the 3-4 month mark. I forget exactly. But the pharmacy in the building, or any pharmacy, will have it in the system once you get your first prescription filled. They won’t renew until a certain date.
Again the 100mg until your next appt is a personal choice. Up to you. He always says once a week is best but no harm in doing twice like I am. No talk of scrotal cream. There was mention of a nasal spray that got taken of the market.
Yeah third visit is supposed to be with Komer, in my case a phone call due to covid. It was a quick call but he answered all the questions I asked.
Thanks I appreciate all the info.
I got it off a work mate who was traveling. I was nasal swabbed and they called me like 6 days later to tell me I was positive. I was sick for 7 days. 5 of which were horrible. It starts with intense shivering, then a high fever (40c), then I broke into a sauna level sweat. Then I got tired and passed out for a few hours. Wake up, and then it would start with shivering all over again. Only thing I could take was Tylenol, and it never touched my lungs surprisingly and thankfully.
No problem man
Sorry one last question. When you go into see Nurse Practitioner is there a physical exam? I’ve heard there’s a questionnaire but just wondering if there’s anything else. I’m in good shape and just don’t want them to think because of that that I’m phishing for gear or that I don’t need it. Thanks again.
No physical. But I imagine if you walk in looking like you’re about to go into a contest they’ll have questions lol.
Otherwise they just ask you about physical and mental symptoms related to your questionairre and lab numbers. Then get to the prescription and tutorial and you’re on your way.
Once a week with Enanthate is not enough. Even 2. Has a half life of 4.5 days.
Well I caved. 2.5 months off took 100mg today
So you’re gonna start with that weekly until you get your prescription?
I find I’m alright on twice a week. I dislike the idea of being a pin cushion since im taking HCG as well. Apparently the vast majority of this docs patients are doing once a week.
