    My main concern is making sure I'm healthy, I know I should get all those tests, but what do I tell my PCP when my lvs come back high?

    Just tell my PCP I was taking some kind of test booster from GNC? Of course my doctor will know the truth, but I dont want a physical record of anabolic steroid use , because god forbid I need to visit the hospital in the future for any reason they will just say he's a steroid user and that's why. Trust me from a first hand source, DR and Nurses pass judgement on any history of any use of illegal substance and it does reflect in the treatment a person receives.

    no, not to look for a TRT doc, just so you can see the blood test list and choose what you want.
