Title: Such a long wait
Post by: Sea-Sam on June 03, 2012, 07:03:22 PM
It feels like these months keep getting slower and slower. The days themselves are very fast.

I have an appointment on the 19th to see an endocrinologist.  What do they do exactly?

my doc went over the positive and negative effects of T --- looked over my medical record (I am in a health care system so she was able to see my last physical and stuff) and then gave me a script for T.  I didn't have to get undressed or anything.  But I did have a physical like two weeks before seeing her so she really didn't have to check anything

Pretty much the same here.  I had a referral from my GT, and he spent most of the time going over the effects, side effects and risks involved in HRT.  I had baseline bloods done, bloods again after the first  month on HRT and have seen him twice in the last 12 months to check on my progress.
No big deal really.

Karen.

Robert, that what I want to happen when I start T, not get undressed for an exam, especially below the waist.  i don't want to show those parts to anyone.
