Hello everyone.thought I'd say hello.what a wonderful place with such a vast amount of knowledge. I'm so glad I've come across this site where I can learn and share my experiences. As a 36 y.o male whose quality of life isn't what it used too be,I started searching my symptoms and that's where I came to this new journey to regain my self.
I'm 36,and have been suffering from severe memory loss,short term.with brain fog.which effected everything. Not too mention severe fatigue.lack of a drive to do things.caint sleep.and when I wake up my heart is,racing and I'm having anxiety. Also I caint put on no muscle.
After lurking around,and reading,and reading,I eventually found a doctor who specializes in biodentical hormones for men and women.although I see not too many people are fond or agree with its uses or meaningfulness.so I met with him ,he's out of skokie illinois,and it went well.he uses the sotopelle pellets.but also prescribes gels.after talking,I told him about my or belief I'm "estrogen dominant " as I believe it runs in my family.we talked estrogen blockers,and that I'd be put on a regime,once my labs came back.i don't remember the IA he mentioned.anyways,what put me at ease was his manners,in the way he told me that he'll have me feeling better.i also told him I was worried my numbers might not reflect how I feel,which he told me it's not the numbers,it's bringing them up to where I feel better,and don't ever let a doc tell you your numbers are normal when you don't feel good.
I was also impressed when I expressed my concern in if I could afford treatmemt,with him telling me not too worry,he won't push me away that he would come down significantly to were I'm comfortable. Basically,he will treat me.
