Title: Still no T letter...
Post by: fatalerror on November 02, 2013, 06:25:45 PM
Hey guys I need some help.

I had several sessions of therapy with Jennifer Marvin in Winter Park, FL. She approved me for HRT and got all of the information needed to send the letter to my new doctor in Sarasota. But now it's been over a month of phone calls and messages and she keeps forgetting to get my letter done.

I'm honestly frustrated and tired of waiting, I've been living as a pre-everything man for around two years and just want to get the hormone help I need. Can anybody recommend someone who could help get me a T letter without having to do the therapy again (I have no med papers from it, she's a volunteer specialist who took my donations) or know another volunteer therapist in the Sarasota area who could get me a letter? Thanks for any advice.

I don't know of any in that area but I have heard of some guys talking to therapists on skype and getting a letter written in the first or second session, that might be something to look into if you have no luck finding any more in your area

Indeed. If all else fails, see if you can find an Endo or GP who operates on the informed consent model.

ICATH.org is a good place to begin your search.

You might want to look at this similar topic by Chipper, and see what he did with his therapist.

Thanks guys, I'm going to give informed consent a shot if I still can't get the letter then. I appreciate the help!
