I'm glad that you are trying to find a T. It is hard when you don't have insurance or if you have it but can't afford copays. Some T's will accommodate your situation so be sure to ask about financial assistance. I also told one friend about my ED, before I was ready to even admit that was what it is, and she ended up being very critical and basically told me I need to eat more calories and stop exercising. I didn't find her advice or reaction too helpful so I don't bring it up anymore when I talk to her and she doesn't either. I glad I have a T whom I can talk to about it who won't judge me or push me when I'm not ready.
