I am in England and i have given up on this county a while ago. My body is wasting to such an extent I am now prepared to go anywhere to get treatment - I am thinking about contacting Dr Chrousos or even Dr Crisler.
Solonjk, you have seen Chrousos, does he use saliva tests and does he treat adrenal fatigue?
cheers

Thanks for you offer of help Solonjk.
To be honest I don’t want to see another British trained doctor again in my life - useless, moneygrabing parasites. I’m tired of banging my head against a brick wall. One guy on this forum has been quoted £600 just for a consultation with a ‘specialist’ in London. For that I’d rather take a holiday to Greece and see Dr Chrousos -that’s if I can bear the heat this time of year!
You mention he is in expert in the field of stress. Now that for me is important as I had no problems the first 2 years of taking finasteride, it was only until the stress came into my life that I began to suffer.
Any way I’ll try to contact Dr Chrousos and Crisler and get more info and let you know the plan.
thanks again.

I now have an appointment with Dr Chrousos on 25th September in Athens.
Whilst researching the Evgenidion Hospital he is based at I came across the following web page, I don’t know if its a useful list of endocrinologists for us:

Dear solonjk and to.robin,
I am also a fin sufferer almost for three years. I was planning to get in contact with Dr. Hertoghe in Brussels. But through your recommendations and credentials I’ve changed my mind and headed to Dr. Chrousos. I am living in Istanbul/Turkey and I think I can get there by driving.
solonjk will you be in Athens by the end of October’09?
Till that time I am going to have a comprehensive bloodtests done. And collect some valuable information and research from this precious site. If you are still being interested to raise awareness then join me to this ‘hopefully’ growing team please. I will get in connection with you after my bloodtests done.
to.robin, wish you luck and success with your appointment on 25th of September… I will be awaiting your possible good news. The third step will be mine I promise:)
Back from seeing Chrousos and he was of no help to me - am posting details on my thread in ‘Hormone and Blood Test’ section.

Who is this Dr Chrousos in Athens?
solonjk,
Why are you deleting nearly every thread you have posted on this Dr G, This Doctor and the whole Prostatitis theory?
I think the men that have made decisions based on your advice, deserve an answer. It only takes a couple of minutes to respond to this and remove the doubts and suspisions that you are trying to hide someting now.
nope i deleted all my posts from day 1 till last few days ago
you didn’t see correctly
the reasons are that the ones who read them all them years have the knowledge now to decide what to do
most however where towards hormonal understanding, HPA dysfunctions, tests and treatments, which are not what someone has to go through like i did, because the prostate is the first organ to be checked
so they should all concentrate on prostate checking and treating first and then hormonal dysfunctions
