Wow so complete blood test does cost a lot?
No prob to have your doc make the prescription?

 

[DrJMW]

Blood testing is covered by insurance; you can ask your doc to send you to a lab like Quest..email me for details.

So since you should have actual numbers as opposed to hear say, does winny and primo actually lower natural test all that much?

I live in france and at the beginning the doc did not want to do a simple testo level check. She told me it cost something like 70$.
Such a complex test may cost well over 200$!

well, I'm somewhat glad I live in Norway sometimes. I did a blood test once this year. Didn't cost me a dime!
And they checked everything.

BTW, I had testo level at 14, when it should be somewhere between 10-20 (I'd rather see the test results at 19 or 20 , but hey, I'm a small guy).
I was wondering, DrJMW, do you know anything about these testo values? Maybe they're like, too low for a young man like me (age 20)..?

I did not say I paid for the testo test but the doc was reluctant to make it because of the price.
They really try to limit health expenses in france so I can understand.

Is there a Doctor in the house or what?
