    Go to your doctor and ask him for a full blood panel test. I do know a company who will do it for you but you will have to pay (pm me if need be) but its free at your docs

    You need to find a doctor that will do it. I went through 4 until I found one.

    I got the, "Just stop taking steroids then if you worried/concerned about your health", bullshit. I was told the NHS wont support me taking AAS, so I'd have to go private.

    After arguing with 4 doctors telling them they do routine blood tests on alcoholics, obese fat idiots and drug addicts, why is testing a steroids user so bad? I dont eat bad and I exercuise 4-5 times a week.

    In the end I found one and now get BW done when needed.

    Did you have to register at all the different surgerys first ? and then make an appointment ? Could take quite a while trying to find a doc to undertake this.

    Some needle exchanges do blood test but its for aids,Hep b and Hep c. Just go to your doctor if he wont do it go private.

    And do they do a full blood panel test oncluding testosterone levels etc.. As marcus said my exchange will only test for hep c , AIDS etc..

    I would much rqther find a local needle exchange that will do my blood work. However i have decided that i will not start my second cycle untill i get the tests done

    My needle exchange doesnt do it. Then only test liver values, thats it if I remember correctly.

    You need to find a ddoctor on the NHS that will do it. I found one, then he bloody retired. But I have another one now. I went through all 4 doctors at my surgery and one gave in.

    They give BW too obese patients, alcoholics and drug addicts, but not bodybuilders and personal trainers. I had a scream up!
