Getting blood work/tests, need opinions
I'm going to start getting regular blood work done by the doc, what tests do you guys recommend???

obviously cholesterol and liver function, but what else do you guys think is important to have tested for......

Big A, RY, what all do you guys get done, and how often do you recommend getting it done??

i take fairly large, long cycles, only side effects i have noticed so far is my blood pressure goes up.............

thanks!!!!!!!

I get full blood count, liver function test, kidney function test, FSH, LH, testosterone, TSH, T4, T3, cholesterol, glucose. Also a heart check and prostate check every 6 months or so. The blood tests are every 4 to 6 weeks.

thanks a ton for all the info!

BIG A, do you have an estimate of cost for getting all the tests done that you mentioned? I know each hospital and area probably charges a different fee, but just an idea in general of how much to expect would be great..............

i have a pretty shitty deductable on my health insurance!!!!!
