Help with Places to get private bloods done

[boxer08]

I'm in the UK and my GP won't run any bloods besides the basic liver, kidney, thyroid, bone profile and FBC. Does anyone from over here know of any private places ? Iv'e read online about them sending you a tube and giving a small sample from a pin prick in the finger and sending it back off to be testes, is this accurate or not or will it need to be done through a vein

Try your local needle exchange. Alot of them do free bloodwork for body builders.

Iv'e tried there the only things the do is tests for hep and HIV, they don't even give out sterile water anymore. They just said to see a GP which is useless over here

There is online testing but you would need somebody to take your bloods to send off. Yes, IV I think. Have you tried a few needle exchanges? My local one certainly caters for BB'ers.

I'll have a search around more and ask. Iv'e seen the ones online where they send you a tube and you take you're own sample through blood of the finger and send it back, they do that for all the bloods but would that work

Does the finger pricking tests work that they send you out to do at home then send them back off to the lab

I don't know mate, when I have given blood for hormone tests it's been 2 or 3 vials. A pinprick doesn't seem viable.

Does you're G.P do yours or do you have to go private

Private initially now my doc, but only because of TRt reasons. My local needle exchange do free hormone panel tests for BB'ers though and I think Baseline's local one does. Might be worth calling a few in your area to save some cash. Where do you live?

South wales

I'd be amazed if a needle exchange doesn't do it in view of the amount of gear being done in Wales mate.

You can always say to your GP you having low test symptoms and ED and suggest he does a test and e2 blood test but he will ask you the obvious question.

Fr some reason they won't, they say go to you're G.P. My G.P won't even run a testosterone or e2 blood test, they told me no way we don't do them...the most i can get from them is a LH/FSH blood test. I am showing symptoms of low tesosterone yet they won't do the tests just said im to young to have those problems and sent me to some sex pycologist which put me on cialis

Wow! Get an ADAM questionnaire printed out and fill it in and take it to your GP, give them it in black and white and insist on it. Tell them if not you will go private and if found to be low you will seek recompense from them. Make sure you see a male doctor too. Other than that I can't recommend other than go private.

Maybe that's what i will have to do, im booked in for the 12th but it's with a women doctor if no luck with her i try the other doctor which is a man

Also, LH and FSH are what you are tested for if your testosterone levels come back low. It's a standard procedure as far as I know.

They will send me for tests for the LH/FSH they said that the levels were normal
