To tell doc or not to tell

**anonymous21** · 10-02-2005, 08:58 AM

How many of you tell your doc u are using?

**Testostack** · 10-02-2005, 09:04 AM

Two days ago i told my doc that i was considering going on juice and since he's bound to non disclosure (don't remember the exact name) you should have to be worried about. But anyway, if that a really important question you have to ask, just go on. Just my advice, maybe i'm wrong, but i like to think that people can be comprehensive.......good luck bro'.

I never discussed my use with my doc. Never thought I needed to. I DO still get a regular check-up on my blood and liver panel to make sure all systems are go. If an issue ever arises that I think requires the advice of my doc, then I would consult with him.

**Testostack** · 10-02-2005, 09:20 AM

i just a slight uncommon concern so that's why i talked about it but otherwise i wouldn't have done it.

I am pretty sure some of us are Much more knowledgable about the subject than 98% of our doctors. Sad but true. It is not a requirement for them to know anything about this subject, except for certain medical fields. Go see a specialist.

**anonymous21** · 10-02-2005, 09:31 AM

Can i just go in and say i want these tests done. Will they be covered by insurance(bluecross/blueshield)? or do i need the doctors request for these tests in order for them to be covered, thats my concern for telling him or not.

**IBdmfkr** · 10-02-2005, 09:32 AM

I would not suggest telling him, how will that benefit you? Yes these test should be covered. It is for health purposes, get your Male comprehensize test done and Total/Free test levels. I do it online, it is cheaper and less of a hassle.

after cycle i tell my dr that i used supplements and that i feel it might have messed with my test levels then i get all the tests.. i think he knows but we just don't really talk about it. And i agree that we know more than most drs.

**anonymous21** · 10-02-2005, 09:44 AM

how long after u finish pct should u get tested?

**956Vette** · 10-02-2005, 09:56 AM

Good luck getting non-group healthcare, life insurance...whatever down the road if you fuck yourself by letting some moron in on your personal shit.

Explain? Why would anyone want to do that. Why not just tell him you do other recreational drugs while your at it. That'd be a great idea.

**eshestun** · 10-02-2005, 12:59 PM

I told my doc but told him not to write anything down. You just have to know and be cool your doc.

If you went to his office, and he is not a long time personal friend, your info is on file reguards if you said you wanted it to be off record

**IBdmfkr** · 10-02-2005, 01:30 PM

Agreed, these people will not listen. Nor will they get health insurance after they make the mistake.

**ODC0717** · 10-02-2005, 01:40 PM

I told my doc that I was using some of the new "natural test enhancing compounds" and he looked at me like I was growing tree branches from my ears. Then we got into the ephedrine debate and I told him I've used that for years safely and he told me...honest to God, that he's supprised that I haven't had a heart attack!? Can you believe that shit? After that visit I don't tell him shit. What he dosen't know won't hurt him cause if he did he'd sure as hell end up fuking me over.

I tell my Doc evrything, they can help you better that way!!!

no i told him i had heart burn which i did and then i told him i was on test. heart burn is on paper not that i was on test. He gave me med. for the heart burn and told me to watch out on the test.

**bradd5150** · 10-02-2005, 09:13 PM

i went to a specialist. his clinic is called "ultimate living clinic" i talked to him and felt him out before i disclosed anything. i also asked him if i would be jeopordizing my health coverage in any way if i disclosed something to him. i want my dr. to know what im doing so that he can help me, the more he knows, the more he can help. well, he knows now, and even gave me a script for arimidex . none of this went on my record and we dont really discuss it anymore, but at least now he knows what to look for when i come in. he also wrote me a script for hgh, not that i can afford it yet. i say find a specialist in hrt or anti-aging and he'll know plenty about steroids .

**IBdmfkr** · 10-02-2005, 09:57 PM

Key word "specialist".

wow.. under the GLBA Law.. there is no confidentiality between patient and doc.. that is..

if you come into a doc's care, and you are using say.. crack.. he is required to do whatever is neccessary to take care of you..

like, admittance into a program that cares for crack additions patients..

lots of funding for that..

now you come along, admit to using a drug that is a felony, just like crack, with the same sentencing guidelines...

the doc believes you are endangering your own life (just like suicide) and his only recourse is to call the police for an intervention.

see..
