In addition to the medical problems mentioned in the videos I also suffer from frequent, severe muscle spasms sometimes lasting several hours. Due to this I am unable to do any physical work and am unable to find a job.
I am normally not the kind of person to ask for handouts but at this point I do not see any other reasonable options. For the most part the money raised would be used for the following:
Transportation (To and From An Endocrinologist)
Lab Work (Blood Tests Ect.)
Dexa Scan (To Check The Progress of My Osteoporosis)
Medication (Primarily TRT and Osteoporosis Medication, Possibly Medication For Muscle Spasms.)
My Story:
Last year I decided to make one of the most difficult decisions I will likely ever make in my lifetime. I contacted CBS TV show The Doctors in attempts to get help with my medical problems.
When I submitted my letter to them I wasn't expecting a response back, and definitely not an email within the week. I woke up to find an email from a wonderful woman named Mackenzie Kolling.
Mackenzie works in the research department for The Doctors. She loved my story and wanted to do what she could to get me the help I needed. When I was first contacted I was asked if I would be willing to submit a video clip or letter to the show. I responded with the following: "I am willing to do anything as long as you think you can help me."
After hearing this she spoke with the producers and they decided they wanted to dedicate an episode to me. I was given the option to hide behind a screen and remain anonomous. While that is an easy choice I decided to fully disclose my examination, back story, and all of my lab work.
The reason for doing so was to help anyone else who may have suffered from similar problems and simply do not know what is wrong with them.
After the show I was placed on Axiron, a testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) gel to assist with my low testosterone levels. Unfortunately I lived in a small town which meant transportation was very limited. Due to this I was on TRT for 3 months and was forced to stop taking the medication as I no longer had access to a doctor and could not afford the medication.
In the past year since the show has aired I have had numerous people contact me via facebook, youtube, and email. Several people have been diagnosed due to my episode or have found the courage to see their doctor about unreated problems.
Beacuse of this I would like to start uploading progressive videos on my own personal youtube channel. The videos will contain frequent updates about my journey on TRT.
If I choose to have children in the future the youtube channel will also include videos of that journey as well as I will need extensive hormone therapy to do so.
If anyone has any questons or comments for me feel free to comment below, or contact me via email. I am more than willing to answer any questions or simply talk to you if you are going through similar problems.
