new HRt doc

[king1033]

going from a general pract. to a hormone doc to monitor my hrt, figuring out what correct questions to ask him. Like what tests I should ask for etc etc etc. I know he will have a protocol he prob follows but Anything outta left field I should ask my health is my main concern. I know I would know what questions to ask better than you guys but just throw out some questions. ya never know i might see something that would make sense to ask.

Free test levels, hdl, ldl, igf-1 levels and you might want to get an arginine drip done to see if the doc wants to put you on gh if your levels are low enough.
