Doctor wants bloods

[panntastic]

I went to docs today and she said I got to have bloods drawn and gave me a printout to take to the hospital tomorrow morning.
This seems strange but they are testing for the following:
oglucose
oglandular fever screen (IM screen)
ourea and electrolytes
oLFT
oTFT'S (diagnostic)
o testosterone (with SHBG)

Any reason why they would test for testosterone levels?

It was just a regular check up/ physical aswell.
Got me a little worried

Lethargy, general I can't be bothered mindset , and the fact I sometimes get lets say emotional at silly little things. Not angry more if I see something happy I will well up.
It's rare but it does happen.
I told all about my AAS usage in the past and that I hadn't used for a long time do to work and family commitments.

So after a brief chat I got told to go for blood tests at 9am and what I listed up the top is what's being tested for

Well that's no surprise then! Testosterone levels are directly related to your mood and general sense of well being. A hormonal imbalance could easily cause the symptoms you described. Sounds like he's doing his job.

Yes that would be why he asked for the blood test

Never never tell the doctor about steroid use. Unless you are dying

Trust me. Never.

Never? Just curious why you're so adamant about this...

I thought it would be best to be honest in this case obviously not.

So all these people that are on trt how did they get to where they are surely their doctors asked questions?

I never did anabolics before I went on TRT. They asked me i I had, and I said no. They will sometimes treat differently if you had been on steroids, some will try a restart, and if it fails put you on trt. They just straight up put me on trt. Of course my insurance doesn't cover it because I am relatively young and I didn't meet the cut off for total testosterone levels. i mean my insurance doesn't even cover for me to get my test levels checked. Pretty lame.

Thats a good heads up on NOT telling your doctor. I never would have thought about my insurance policy. Good thing id never tell my doc anyway.

In the uk we don't have health insurance like you do over in America and its all covered by the NHS.
