Thanks, Debbie for catching the spag. Doctors are so busy anymore, they give you the quickie solution --a pill.
Comment from Jay Squires
Hey, Shari. I just checked my testosterone level history. In Jan. 2016 it was 9. My latest is in the high 600's. The reason it was so low in January was because of the lupron shots I was given because the bottom dropped out of my PSA (prostate test). Doctor told me they could give me the lupron to lower my testosterone or castrate me. I thought about it for over 15 seconds. Anyway, after six months of lupron shots (one every 3 months) I reached the low of 9 on my testosterone. Man boobs, yep. Hot flashes and night sweats, you betcha! None of the other symptoms you mentioned. Concentration okay, no depression. I haven't had a social life for years. So ... I stopped taking the lupron shots and so far the PSA is under control.
I don't think any of this has anything to do with Frank's situation, but thought I'd lay it out for you anyway.

Nine! Wow, but at least there was a reason.
thought about it for over 15 seconds LOL
After Frank went off shots, his went to twenty. That would explain the night sweats.
Thanks for sharing your story.
The shots did help his sugar level control and gave him a little more pep. But not enough to go through the frustration of dealing with the stupid receptionist.
Next chapter.
