Bloodwork..What to test for?

[Ruca]

I posted this on the medical forum a couple of days ago and haven't had any responses. I am looking to get it done this next week so hopefully I can get some suggestions. Thanks

"I generally feel run down and don't have much energy. I am an athlete but because I make myself. I never just get up and feel good and ready to go. Once I start training (mma and bjj) I generally feel good, but like I said never just wake up feeling it. Also, over the past couple of years my sex drive is pretty much non-existent. I do fine with the help of my friend Tadalifil..haha...but never really crave it. I want to go get some blood work done to make sure everything is in check. Any suggestions on what to ask to have checked? I know they have standard things, but if they are pulling blood I want to make sure nothing is missed. Any suggestions? I'm 35 BTW and have a good diet overall. Also thinking about doing a round of tbol after for whatever that is worth. Thanks in advance."

ask for a full panel on everything.

Cool bro thanks. I just talked to a place that said they have one that includes CBC, chemistry panel, lipids, cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides, PSA, testosterone (free and total), DHEAS, TSH, and a urinalysis. All of that is $229. Is there anything missing on that? Anything else that I should request? Is that a fair price? Thanks again!

price sounds fair, but you can always ask if you can get the insurance agreed rate if you pay in cash, could save some money.
some docs and labs will do that for you since they'll get the money right away, and it's all they'd get paid by the insurance company anyway, but usually that's for known/existing clients, but won't hurt to ask and you may save some cash..

These are for testosterone, lipids, and some other stuff I had done last week; the first is the "list price" the second is what the insurance company actually pays, the "insurance rate"

08/31/2009 Lab Services $85.85 $41.13
08/31/2009 Lab Services $17.05 $8.23
08/31/2009 Lab Services $20.95 $10.37
08/31/2009 Lab Services $59.50 $21.34

Why don't you consider making that a sticky.

It seems pretty thorough.

well because if I made every thread I make like that a sticky we would have hundreds of them... However all the info that is in that thread is also posted in my Steroids 101 thread.... If and when people take the time to read that whole steroids 101 thread they will find every post in that thread is very thorough and covers every topic of tacking steroids in the same manner. If I had it my way I would make it mando that you had to read that thread before your account could be made active

But its there for the people who want to learn the basics and even some of the advanced.
