I'm having a blood test done this week as part of a physical. Anyone have the list of things I should make sure I have done handy.     | ||

Remember to fast after midnight...but your Doctor probably told you that already. Assuming you are worried about them detecting steroid useage...they blood tests they use for routine physicals dont test for that. Its a matter of cost...the testoserone blood test is like $700. Standard blood test work up is $80-125. Now, a couple of things are likely to show up on a standard physical depending on what you use. Your cholesteral levels and creatinine levels may be elevated. So don't panic if they are. Liver enzymes may be elevated too. If the Doc is concerned tell him you use some supplelments with amino acids and creatine and a high protien diet. | ||

dammit!! just tell your doc you do steroids! they will undertand, they can't do anything!! HELL I JUST WENT TO THE DOC 3 DAYS AGO, i said; "i am currently on anabolic steroids, and they will take the tests to see if you are okay... i had some blood tests taken and they want me to quit, the might prescribe clomid for me, but she is checking with the pharacist to see if it is okay for her to do it. just trust me and tell them you are on steroids.... it is against the law for them todo anything about it.... hope this helped -MIKE- | ||

Thanks Juicelawyer. I'm not concerned about the usage issue, I'm not on anything right now anyhow. I just want to make sure that they do everything that is pertinent to an athlete that may go on the gear soon. Will they automatically test my thyroid levels? | ||

To cover all basis, get a liver scan (sgot), thyroid scan if you plan to use T3 (Cytomel/Cynomel) and maybe a testosterone scan as well. I like to get a test scan just to know that if I am ever in doubt whether something is legit, get another lab report done and see if your test is higher and it is a good idea to figure where your levers are before your cycle so you know where they should be after your cycle (after your clomid/HCG). My two cents. |
