    Bloodwork in Massachusetts

    Where to get me some? State is tightly regulated but New Hampshire is close by if that helps.

    Mass doesn't allow you to get private testing unfortunately and many of the private testing places now require your billing and home address to match and wil not let you sign up for any tests if you're in one of the states that prohibit it. Sucks I know. You can try mail order lab tests and take the samples at home and mail them in. I think direct labs is one.

    I was going to help a buddy from Mass do some tests in my state since it's allowed here but he, as well as others I've talked to, said you cannot do it out of state anymore. Our solution was for me to setup the blood draw with my info and just have him go to give the sample.

    Sure he would have appreciated it. I only get them done when I get a physical and I am on self admin trt. I have to speak up about getting my t levels checked . Probably time to go doctor shopping and even you need to throw caution to the wind.

    You can try Quest Labs. They are VERY expensive but it's an option. Why not try your Dr to get a referral?

    i'm not the brightest bulb on the tree is why. so I had some stuff thought might have not been legit so I went and told him all the symptons of low t and that i saw it on tv. so my mass general hospital affiliated harvard educated medical doctor ordered labs on my test level. came back >1,500 so he is probably still pissed. i got a angry lecture on the dangers.

    now i can tell him i need my estro checked. he will love that.

    There are. There are also saliva based tests which I don't know much about but maybe an option.

    This is of course a joke but at least I will die happy. The state def needs to catch up with the rest of the country. The general census is not in favor of trt.

    This is not a source board. Sourcing/fishing is against the rules, please read them thoroughly, thanks. ~GB
