    just went to the doc for my post cycle checkup

    i went to my doctor who ive never used in the last 3yrs today adn told him about the AS ive been taking. what sides i had and i also let him know that i did my homework before hand and that i had all the proper meds incase i did get any sides. he was pretty cool about it and is going to test my liver, kidneys, and blood sugar? of course he gave me the whole "you live a healthy lifestyle lift weights run eat proper and then you shoot a substance into your body? thats not a healthy lifestyle know is it? i would like to see you traing naturally if you really want to be healthy." anyway i would suggest that everyone does this sometime during there stint w/ AS just make sure everythings ok. i had never even met the guy and it worked out great.

    o yeah he said my blood pressure was fine and that i was outwardly as healthy as a horse but the blood work will be done tommorow and ill post the results.

    "Healty as a Horse" That's kind of fitting since you were putting test and EQ in your body! lol... Glad to hear that the doctor wasn't a jerk about your usage.

    Glad your DR visit went well.

    Its still beyond me how we can hire them to work for US, then we have to worry about talking about our issues.

    Hehe that should be a standard question on 1-800 doctors or something.
    do you freak over AAS discussion? hehe

    Insurance companies have a right to view patients folders. Putting notes in a file is not breaking Doctor/patient confidentiality.

    Well I always do a check up about every 4 or 5 months. I got a clean bill of health before doing my last cycle, and yes, I would recommend folks to do this, especially older guys like myself, who are really concerned about our health.
    Most docs are pretty cool I find. hell my last doc asked me if I had a problem with my sex drive, and he told me that he gives hormones for that. He almost was offering me that option. I should've lied and told him "Yeah doc I can't get it up". See what kind of stuff he woudl've given me. LOL

    I am a firm believer in check ups as well. However you don't have to go to a doctor to get an endo screen done and even if you do go there is no reason you need to tell your doc you do steroids. This has nothing to do with whether your doc is "cool" or not. Dr.'s put notes in patients files all the time without a second thought. There was a case about six months ago where a man had gone to the doc after receiving a cut at a family barbecue. He had been drinking and the doctor made a notation which basically said possible alcholism. When the man switched jobs he could not get insured by anyone until he finally sued and got that taken from his records (which was very hard to do because he had to prove the doctor had no reason to believe that). Get your test done just be smart that is all I am saying.

    Awesome! High cholesterol is easily remedied by adding Fiber to your diet and going with Omega fats. What was your cycle like?

    Oh Canada....

    Gotta love Canada when it comes to MediCare. You can be a joint smoking, pill popping, heroin shooting, HIV positive, genital wart infested crack whore that has abused AS for 50 years and you will always be able to get medical treatment.
