Isn’t that the truth! My little girl has ADD (we think). Wife found a book by a doc near us, and the book says to do a long and careful eval before prescribing meds. Yet in his office, he prescribed drugs after a 15 minute interval — no physical, no blood work, no evaluation by a trained-in-ADD psychologist…all things he recommended in his book.

I’m convinced that at least 90% of doctors are sham artists.

We have 2 threads going on here. Headhunter, I would love to discuss ADD with you if you could start a thread somewhere for it.

The author thinks that T injections are not very good. The problem is that practice, when the book was published in 1998, was to inject every 2,3 or 4 weeks. The author concluded that injections were a poor delivery method.

With guys self injecting [at home] today once a week, or twice a week or even every other day, the problems cited by the author do not exist.

The book, lacks information* on how to find a TRT/HRT competent doctor and what to ask for. Sadly, one can easily know more about these things than most doctors. Finding a good TRT/HRT doctor is close to impossible for many.

  • This seems to be common fault with Doctor written TRT related books.

And there probably are no books that discuss dosing, labs, dose changes, injection options and how to inject. And books will not discuss transdermal non-absorbers and the issue of hypothyrodism. [/quote]

My doctor’s practice group has started to test everyone at about 40 or older (I’m not sure where their cut-off is) for test levels because they’ve had so many patients check out low and they’ve noticed that guys don’t realize what the problem is (often).

Just got my blood work back today, scheduled to go in tomorrow. They told me I was below 300 and that wasn’t acceptable for them in taking proper care of me.

I’ll report back later if I can recommend them as the general expense is just normal general practice doctor stuff, fully covered by insurance, just blended in to the normal blood work.

I’m grateful for the pointer, otherwise I’d have gone for the pellets, which are advised in the book.

Now to talk with my doctor and see what she suggests.

I will note back and appreciate KSMan’s help and advice.

It would be nice to have a separate HRT forum.
