I know there was a thread, probably a year or two ago, that discussed a similar topic, but unfortunately the search function doesn't work for me (literally, both the one at the top of the page and the "search this forum" - click then and nothing happens ). So I apologize for a bit of repitition.
The only way I know how to get bloodwork done is via a doctor's request, ie I can't just go to a lab like Quest and have it done myself. So, how are you guys managing your doctors? Do they all know you use and it's not a big deal, like they are willing to help because you at least are trying to stay vigilant and healthy, did you get turned away or the docs dropped you til you found a good one?
I feel like even if doc's buy that you aren't using or no longer use, then they'd have no reason to order a full panel for Estradiol, test, shgb, etc.
Same question, but for those on prescribed trt. If a doc does bloodwork but sees you're getting bigger, don't they threaten to drop your script because you're not listening. Or when you gain 15lbs lbm between visits they don't question it?
Much appreciated.
