DO’s are nothing like Chiropracters in relation to MD’s. DO’s have almost the exact same training as MD’s and are really just MD’s who take a different holistic approach to medicine. An MD can have the same approach as an DO so I the main thing is choosing the right doctor period.

Wish I knew.
I’ll keep asking around for someone who can deal with no insurance and still treat you the same.

You mentioned in another thread something about your doc testing your blodd levels without you asking for it right? Howz that going?
On an unrelated note, can you send me a link for the CLEs at the Belo? Are you a member of the Dallas Bar Association? I’ve yet to decide if I want to join that. Cleburne (Johnson) and my home of Tarrant are fertile grounds for what I want to do, and I’ve pondered marketing myself to the west as well.
http://www.dallasbar.org/ – I’ve got an out of county membership – a lot cheaper.
The doc brought up the HRT tests during my physical on his own. I just got my Berkley Labs back (they have to do with cholesterol and such) and I’m waiting on my two week blood draw lab results on the HRT now.
I’ll know more when I get those back. So far, so good. I’m feeling better. Mild, but it means sleeping a half hour less every night, slightly better mood, etc.
I’m in the early stages, pre-HCG (which I understand at least half the people need by the end of the first year).
Still learning right now.

I got pounding headaches that lasted a few days when I quit drinking coffee. Stick with it
I finally called Renewman, getting bloodwork in the morning.
I got my bloodwork done. My test is 285 or so. Met with the PA this AM. The whole thing seemed like a formality. She didn’t really say much. I’ll be doing test, arimidex (the generic), HCG, and 1 other HCG like substance. They added that when i told them I still wanted kids.
I should get my stuff in the mail in a few days. My latest test was like 285.
DAY 1, HRT
I was 225 lbs. Waist was almost 42 inches at its widest.
2 shots, 2 pills. Not sure I like injecting myself but I’ll get over it.

You going to be turning this into your HRT log? I’d be interested in following…
What exactly have you been prescribed/dosages?
Basically my stack is this:
Test Cyp 125mg injected twice per week
Anastrozole 0.25mg capsule twice per week
Clomiphene Citrate 51mgs once daily
HCG 600 units injected twice per week
Was in a pretty steep depression. Made a decision to start taking better care of my self. Started eating clean Monday, started my injections Wednesday. Hope to start training again this weekend.
I feel a touch better, but I’ve been to several meet n greet functions this last week or so and I feel invisible to women. Those giant rocks on their fingers might have something to do with it.
2nd day of injections, takes me forever to get the air bubbles out. Feel a bit better. I’ve lost about 3 pounds. Eating clean and back in gym.
Ok, it’s been roughly 3 weeks. Was feeling a touch better but had a rough spell lately. How long is it supposed to take for this to kick in?
Has anyone had expereance with a Enocdrinologest.
The guy from renewman called tiday. He said after my 45 day follow up my T levels were near 1000. I was shocked, but I feel better knowing that.
