Will he have a shit fit if I tell him I wanna use T3, so check my thyroid? Or should I just ask him to check my thyroid, what if he asks why im getting checked out? IP: Logged |

Im totally honest with my doc so he will know how to treat me. Ask for a complete blood profile. Youll see how to read it in the Anabolic Reference Guide. Tell him your worried, because your a body-builder and eat a lot of high protein food. Your just checking to make sure your in good health since you punish yourself physically. T3 and T4 levels are usually included as part of the test. Along with cholesterol, liver values, etc. Its a good test to have done at least once a year if you juice. IP: Logged |

You have two possibilities. First, you can llok in the phone book for a lab that specializes in walk in lab tests, such as "Any Lab Test" then you can just go in and pay for a thyroid profile. If you don't have one of these, then just go to your Doc and tell him/her that you are constantly tired and fall asleep often; at work, while driving, etc. The first test they will look at will be TSH and maybe T4 and T3.

If you don't want to tell the doc the truth then say hypothyroidism runs in your family and you feel cold, tired have hairloss and your weight always fluctuates and that you want your thyroid checked later! IP: Logged |
