It is possible but not common, and I believe you need to see an endocrinologist for this. If someone has a good hospital doctor that will prescribe this, as most won't, perhaps they could let you know by a private message. You can then ask your gp to refer you out of area to see the endo that might be helpful.

Not what you're looking for?
