Need help- how do I get Lab to do blood panel without Dr's script?

[SOLID]

I want to get a blood panel done but you have to have permision or somthing stupid like that, cause last time I tried to have them check my Estradiol, and I had to call my good for nothing Endocrinologist to send over a script. Is there another way around this?

 

[rickw]

no, but your always better off being honest with your doc it's your health.

You can get blood tests done through www.lef.org. If you cannot find it email me.

THanks 40-but-pumpin, <you know that sounds a little scary if you say it slow -haha. We'll I checked it out and I'm actually more interested in getting my T- level's checked as well as Estradiol. So I guess I gotta go get permission for the doc, that is stupid....

make an appointment with the doc to ask if I can get blood work done, why - so he can paid for an hour?

Oh and Karma to ya.

Hey, bro. You can get something called the Male Panel and it includes the following:

CBC/Chemistry Profile
Free Testosterone
DHEA
PSA
Estrodiol
Homocysteine
C-Reactive Protein

all for the price of $260 through the month of June (when you're a member). After that it will go up to $360. Most of these you're probably not interested in so Free Testosterone alone is $52.00, Estrodiol is $48.00, Total Testosterone is $48.00 and both FSH and LH for $66.40. To become a member I think it is $100 os close to that I honestly cannot remember. Anyway, they use Labcorp which is everywhere and it's simple as hell. They just send you the script and you bring it to any Labcorp and they send the results to LEF and then LEF sends them to you. I think it's worth it. Good luck with it.

Go to www.healthcheckusa.com and find the tests you want. If they dont offer a profile you are interested in, just call them they will customize to your request. Pretty cheap, very quick resutls (2 to 3 days).

You can get it done for $61 at the AF Store. Just go to the ENDOSCREEN section.

You Can use Lifespan Longevity clinics. Submit an online Health History the lab test are ordered by an endocrinologists who specializes in Hormone replacement. Call and ask for Paula Nail. they will order anything you ask for, test and estradiol levels, PSA, CMP, FSH, LH, TSH, T4. I think total for all of those are about 250.00 USD and the Dr will make recommendations (they will prescribe Testosterone Cyp, HCG, HGH, Arimedex) The regimens are expensive, but you get great service and a physician who is KNOWLEDGABLE of the subject will be treating you.

Thanks everyone, I'll look into those. I'm going to make an appointment with the doctor next week to get a yearly checkup so I'll ask him about it then too. Karma for everyone...
