I wonder why it is so hard to find a doctor to help? I had been trying for years to get help. I told one female doctor that I needed help b/c my sex drive was so low and she sent me to a psyc. That wasn't the kind of help I was looking for! I went one time and saw that wasnt' for me when she enouaged my EA!! Anyway, if you are not healthy to the point they can't even find certain hormones level in you.....that's bad! When it's that serious, I don't think any talking is going to help, just like I don't think romancing is going to help.....it it isn't there, the wife can't help it! It would be like trying to have a baby without being pregnant.....!
I would tell my doctors that I wanted my thyroid panel checked and they would just do that regular "routine" check and not the breakdown. I went through I don't know how many that did that. I was almost on the verge of giving up. I had read Suzanne Sommers book about her experiences on that subject and she & I are the same age (and yes, I look just like she does!) but some of the things she related really hit home with me. But, I couldn't find anyone in my small area to help and all they have to do is take blood test!
The first day I went to this Gynecologist he took the test and told me all the areas I was deficient. I'm surpirsed I could get up and walk across the floor as bad of shape I was in! No wonder I felt like I was dying a slow death! It has only been three months and I can tell a world of difference. As I said before, I have been given hope......and that is something very valuable! My H has been given hope too!
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
