Re: Male menopause affects 2million Brits but 'can be safely cured
@ignitionet
hes on bromocriptine to block oestrogen, but as hes on such a high dosage, the side effects are horrendous, so now hes been told not to drive, so its either taxi's to work, go on the sick, or he doens't have a job, must admit work have been fantastic though.
his gp told him and i quote "it might be better to put up with the boobs due to the side effects of the tablets and then just have reduction surgery when they sort ur t levels out"
i didn't realise that in a man the testosterone is the central core to how the male body works and if off balance it upsets everything
and us women thought we had the rough end of the deal having babies and such lol
Our GP was managing his condition, and woudn't refer to hospital, until we demanded a second opinion, we got his appointment through last week and its for Jan 2012
we have paid to have a MRI scan and a 2hr private appointment with an endocrinologist on Thursday, and we had to pay £275 to have a set of blood tests done for this appointment as its not on the NHS

ps, sorry for the rant, i just wonder wat we all pay our bloody taxes for
