I self prescribe at this point, but if I was still doing the telemedicine route, I would have at least one bottle of UGL test. The hoop jumping, long shipping times and my procrastination did not go well together.

I just go on the patient portal and click a button and all the meds i get prescribed arrive in a few days. Way easier than my primary doctor. My TRT doc has basically become my primary doctor these days.

It was not that easy when I was doing it. It was a PITA (couldn’t order until you were almost out, had to pay for express shipping since normal shipping would involve running out of the current bottle, they would sit on the script for 4-5 days before sending it after I payed for express shipping).

Now I just use UGL and do blood work, and adjust based on that.

I would love to do UGL but I just kept finding scams.

I think googling and going right from there is a good way to find a scam. Other forums are the way to go IMO. Finding someone from the gym who orders online to give you their source is a good strategy.

Not sure how you can have any complaints. You didnt follow the dosage you were prescribed.

Why should the doctor over-prescribe medication and risk his career for your mistake?

Deal with it and take it as a lesson learned. Your doctor is qualified to make this decision, you are not.

I’m not the patient, @xspeak is.

Im sure you can easily work out I clicked on the wrong reply button.

Wasn’t my first guess, didn’t think it was that difficult, but thanks for letting me know. Got it worked out now.

Patient: ā€œDoc, I have a problem. Low T symptoms.ā€

Doc: ā€œHere is some testosterone. Let’s see if it makes you feel betterā€

Patient: ā€œI tried the testosterone and I feel better! Thank you doc!ā€

Doc: ā€œNo, I don’t REALLY want to make you feel better. You have to have a certain number so I need to lower your dose so you feel like shit again. The number is more important than making you feel better. I like numbers. I should have been a mathematician!ā€

Patient: ā€œBut…but…butā€¦ā€

This couldn’t have been said any better! I am no longer using that Dr and things are great again!
