Blood Work in the UK

[warlockjmr]

Just wondering about getting my blood work done at the moment before I consider AAS in a year or so (weight goals permitting), I'd like to have a goosey at my test levels as I'm pretty sure my natural test production dropped in the last year or so. Where abouts do you UK guys get your bloodwork done? (sorry if repost tried to search for a similar topic but to no avail!)

At the moment cardiff, I've seen a few online testers that say they can do it but I'm wary of mail order shiz.

Have a google or got to your local needle clinic and ask them to draw bloods for testing or ask them to find your nearest one that does.
No need to look into mail order when the government offer it for free!

Can you not just go to your GP and ask?

The GP will want to know why. You don't really wanna tell your GP the truth either. There'll be a needle exchange in Cardiff that will do it, the welsh authorities are exceedingly concerned at increased steroid 'steroid abuse' recently.

I didn't realise that needle exchanges would also do this!

Indeed they do.
It's a service mainly for junkies but some will draw bloods for steroid users

Good piece of information! I have a needle exchange 10mins from my house, I might look into it!

Just ask them if they won't they should get you info for nearest that does

The needle exchanges are more interested in testing blood for BBV's but you can always ask. Some health authorities provide this service at needle exchanges and some don't. This depends on how much of a current issue steroid use and abuse is in that area.

Go to your surgery and tell your GP that youve been feeling (symptoms of low test) and you've done some research and you think it may be due to low test. Insist that you want it testing and he/she sould oblige. Don't let them tell you no! Remember you pay their wages, you are their boss and you can change your GP if you're not happy with their service. Remember that your GP is unlikely to know much about ths subject so do your research and know your stuff, if they think you know more than they do they'll more than likely just agree to you having bloods done.

See my local one will draw the bloods and send them to where they need to go (assuming Manchester?)

Last time I spoke to the guys at the Manchester clinic (lifeline) they told me the bloods went to Liverpool to be tested, this could of changed though because it was a while ago.
