To the guys who go to the doctor while "on"

[SinisterUproar]

Do any of your tests come back normal ever? I've been to the doctor twice for other issues sense I've been on and normal tests are coming back crazy as fuck and making my doctors freak out. Liver numbers super high, had an ECG done on my heart and those numbers came back crazy. Blood glucose test came back really high at 189. Is this normal for being on cycle or am I dieing?

 

[stevesmi]

its normal to have SOME strain. blood glucose should not be that high ever on or off. what does AAS have to do with glucose? unless you went into the test having ice cream and cake i don't know what to tell you there

You sound fucked up and not from gear.

I was a perfectly healthy individual before I started using gear. Stopping immediately but still wondering wtf. My first test was 189 then 2 minutes later second test was 125. I ate about 30 mins before the test

was it a blood glucose test? if so you must fast all night for that

your doctor is a moron, which is pretty normal

You will not get anywhere near an accurate blood glucose reading if you ate before the test. Like Steve stated that should be an all night fasting blood draw. And yes when eating just before the blood draw you can have significantly high blood glucose numbers. So i would not be too concerned with that but you will want to get it re-checked fasting. As far as the abnormal EKG that should definitely be of concern to you.

Good luck man! Keep us posted

The glucose test you did was invalid. Either the doctor is an idiot or the lab/nurse did not notify you or both. You should have a 12 hour fast (other then meds) for lipids as well.

the medical situation in this country is a joke. the scummiest people enter the medical field, a lot of them i see at the gas station leaving work and grabbing cigarettes and beer. the town i live in most of the jobs are medical field so i see what type of people are in it. i'm not impressed.

you would think people who work in the medical field would care about their own health and atleast have some knowledge of what they are doing .. what a joke. the doctor is too stupid to know that you need an all night fast before doing a glucose blood test. not surprising since the pharma companies run the medical schools nowadays. and people wonder why i avoid doctors unless i need something cut out of me.

i actually used to get sinus infections yearly, the 5th year in a row i got it my only option was going to one of those ER clinics because the doctor i went to a year earlier was booked for like 2 weeks. the doc i went to refused to give me anti-biotics even though i explained to the stupid cocky bitch that i get this same thing yearly and it does not go away without anti-biotics and it always turns into bronchitis in the chest.. this was a couple years ago. i was coughing up and blowing brown phlegm. she claimed i had the flu, ummmm.. flu's don't last 3 weeks... now is it possible that i had both the flu AND bronchitis at the same time? duh, but that would be no fun for a doctor to use their brain and put 2 and 2 together i guess. I was getting pissed because not only was i missing work but more importantly i was missing time in the gym and unable to get in a decent workout. finally i found out that i had a re-fill remaining from the prior year when i saw a different doctor and luckily was able to get the Z pak and 3 days later i was as good as new. so freaking ridiculous i had to go through that nonsense.

now i keep tamiflu and anti-biotics from online pharmacies and have them always handy in my drawer.. any time something like that comes up i know where to go... i caught a nasty sinus infection last Xmas from my gf's step mom who had just come home from a trip up north. luckily i had the stuff in my drawer and once i realized that it was turning into bronchitis/bacterial infection i ran a round of Zpak and boom i was back to normal within a few days. and then of course i ran a round of pro-biotics after

the flu alone you don't need drugs for, your best bet is rest, fluids, and vit C .. i also run a round of collodial silver. however if the flu over runs your immune system then its easy for that viral infection to contribute to a bacterial infection. if that happens you gotta bite the bullet and run some anti-biotics. a lot of doctors want to treat 1 thing and then have you keep coming back so they can run up your bill instead of solving the problem in one visit.
