    Frustration

    I’m living in the UK and moved from tablets over to Sustanon 250 about 2 years ago and was told it was best to have my shot every 21 days, so I would not grow accustom to it and feeling weak, etc the 3rd week was normal. I ask continually why I am not being tested for my levels and am told it is not needed, by not only my GP but by the specialist at the hospital. Quite a bit more to tell, but I wanted to know if there are any others here who live in the UK and experience problems with their GP’s and their lack of knowledge on this subject?
    I'm getting no help from these people..............

    i'm not from the uk but my experience with gp is they are there for simple procedures and writing prescriptions!! if you can see an endocrinologist they could give you the best answer you can get. are you seeing a urologist? generally with tc patients it is pretty cut and dry as to why there is a defeciency of testosterone. your urologist should be able to monitor it pretty closely. i use androgel and it has been a real blessing since i started it back a few months ago. hope this helps. believe me i know how FRUSTRATING this all can be but keep positive and do some trial and error logic and you'll find a "happy median"!

      Hey Kalle, yeah mate i know what you mean! Funnily enough i seemed to have done the revserve of what you did. I was on Sustanon 250 for three years and as far as i know they never cheacked my levels after the first few months! Eventually becuse i found that the injections were not only painful but hindered me playing sport for the few days following them, my endocrine eventually allowed me to change to the Straint Sr tabs. She promised that i would have my levels regualrly checked to make sure that everything was right, that was last July and so far i havn't had a single test. I've written to her and spoken to my GP, but no joy!! The NHS hey mate don't you love 'em!! Got my anual check in few weeks though, so will have it out with her then - who knows may even get an answer!!

      So yeah, i'm sorry to say your not alone mate, there are others suffering under the NHS too, with pants GP's and Speciaslists!!!

        Do you have Androgel in the U.K.? I am also on Sustanon and not very happy with it.
