Hey Smile what health tests would be advised to get from your doctor before starting a cycle? do you speak openly to your doctor about your steroid use? Smile thanks

In the US, u would get a "physical exam" that includes a fairly comprehensive battery of tests to assess your overall health. In the US, any documentation in your medical history indicating steroid abuse can be used by your insurance carrier in whatever manner they choose - common sense would suggest it will work against you. I would not admit to my doctor that I used steroids. My opinion.

do your research when you are talking to your doc openly about usage.

from my general understanding if u own up to using he must enter in your profile and once its there it could possibly he used against u from your insurance company.

i dont fully understand it but had a friend not get something covered cause of the usage he had to fight and fight with the insurance company, got a lawyer, etc. he lost but of course he was still treated but he needed to pay out of pocket and is still making payments. they cant Not treat u but u know how these insurance companies are!

a full panel that consists of lh, fsh, test, free test, estrogen, prolactin, thyroid function including TSH, t3 and t4, hdl and ldl cholesterol, if you plan to have children, sperm mobility and count, depending on your age, maybe an EKG, blood pressure, if you plan to ever run orals liver and renal function. also if you plan to talk to openly talk to your doctor some meds used to treat mental health issues dont go so well with AAS use. there are some that are open with their docs, i am, as i go to and endo doc to be followed and am now on trt. but being open with your doc is not always advisable, as it can effect you medical care, job, and even health insurance.
