I have been suffering from low T symptoms for a while and recently got a blood test from my regular doctor. My testosterone was 402 and he said that was normal, that low was 198 (WTF)? I made an appointment with a local TRT clinic for Monday, in five days. This clinic only does shots, is only open three days per week, and only does TRT, nothing else. They accept my insurance and offer therapy to those without insurance for $250 monthly.
I am 51 years old, 6'2" and 187 pounds. My symptoms are depression, inability to focus and concentrate, extreme fatigue, and almost no libido. I have seen a psychologist with minimal results. I was treated for apnea when I weighed 215 and am compliant with an oral appliance. I am worried about losing my job because my fatigue and inability to concentrate are negatively impacting my performance. I am also concerned about being a good father to my two young children - it is difficult to spend time with them when I am taking daily naps and generally don't give a shit about life.
Here are my my questions. If I test at 400 again, will this clinic provide therapy? If they do, will my insurance cover it? If not, because it is in normal range, will they treat me for the cash price of $250 per month?
I have a feeling that this clinic will treat me at 400 because that is what they do, but I am concerned that my insurance will only consider the 400 test and not the other symptoms.
BTW, my appointment is at 5:45 PM and they will draw blood. My last test was fasting and at 7:30 AM.
Any thoughts, guidance, or advice would be greatly appreciated.
