    Yep, I rather pay for it and pick my own docs. Last thing I need is my govt running our health care, they seem to screw everything up

    just be honest. i tell my doc everything. the first time was the hardest and i got a lecture about the danger of steroids . but now he's cool with doing blood tests regularly to catch any red flags before a serious problem occurs.

    oh an my insurance wasnt effected

    I would think it is all doctor patient privlage anyway. So your insurance most likely would not find out why you were treated, just the treatment.

    hahahaha dont be so sure about that. It's amazing what the insurance company can/will find out. I go to a completely different doc for my Test and my Wellness provider called me (it's a service through work) to see how i was doing with my back surgery 2 years ago and other things, they went over all my prescriptions asking me what i still took, how much and why including my Test...
    I just played it off as normal HRT which it is for the most part....but how did they know??? Obviously they have access to my pharmacy prescriptions.

    Maybe its just me but I would in no way, shape or form tell my doctor I am on or was on steroids . Now, doctors aren't dumb and they can probably tell just by looking at you and/or taking into account other factors they see. But if you never tell them it won't end up on some form somewhere that the insurance company gets ahold of then drops your coverage.

    If something is wrong than you'll be taken care of, doctors went to medical school and paid all that money for their education to know whats up and how to take care of it. I wouldn't divulge AAS use unless you are in serious, serious trouble.

    find a doc you trust. I've been going to the same one for years. He knows everything. does my bloodwork. He's cool with it, since he knows I know what I'm doing.

    Lie to your girlfriend, not your doc.
