Dom some of the females worry about being 'scolded' by the doctor about their use if asked about the findings in their report?

[Bryan Hildebrand]

Everything about you that your Dr see goes into your medical file. Medical files are being linked nowadays. I personally would not admit to a Dr about steriod use. Better to say it was a b12 injection.

And there inlies the" off he record" statement. Meth, heroin, oxy, cocaine whatever users can openly discuss there addiction without fear of their insurer denying them coverage. Ask your physician to not document the issue and you will be fine.

Inregards to HIPPA, the only entity allowed to view your records without you direct authorization, is your insurer. You gave them indirect permission to do so in the language in agreement for them to insure you.


I have been in health care for nearly. 20 years in an ER, OR, conducting FDA clini al research and as a consultant to a top 3 pharm company. Plus i'm married to a surgeon. I wouldn't dispense the advice lightly if I wasn't certain.

Thanks for clarifying that, now I understand.

[Bryan Hildebrand]

still not a guarantee that he/she wont write something in the medical record. however, you can request a copy of your medical records, have an attorney draw up a letter explaining that the information was given in confidence of which the physician breached. most physicians will black line the offending remarks and update the record if it ever came to that. chances are, it never ever will. not worth their time.

Used 5mg for 8 weeks my last show a year ago...but thats it

Just my legs....my upper body needs to grow a little but my legs need to come down a little

[Bryan Hildebrand]

i'd do what worked for you last time. but, change your training to reflect what you need.

This is telling me your legs are bound to respond even more w/ some AAS help so adjust your training according to promote upper body and not lower. Just the presence of the stuff will promote growth proportionally across your body (tempered by how your body tends to grow).

Well I went to see the doctor today and it did not go so well. When we got to the part where I told them I wanted to discuss something with them "off the record" and not have it documented he said that he couldn't do that. Then we started talking one on one and I explained the issue. He said that it was not a big deal and that he could help, but he would have to write it in my files. So it looks like I either tell the truth and have it documented or I lie and say I am not sure how the cyst got there, it just popped up one day; then they will remove it but not have the documented cause of it. I just want to get it removed, recover and move on, maybe I should just let them write it in my files. What would you girls do....Do your doctors know you use AAS and is it documented in your medical records?

[Bryan Hildebrand]

1. lie. you dont want it documented. period. insurance companies are the modern day mafia. gov't supported and access to everything they shouldnt have.

2. find a female sports medicine oriented physician or nurse practitioner when you are done with this issue. look into maybe a sports medicine ortho clinic who also employes a NP or PA. usually a lot more understanding.

[sassy69]

I'm gonna say unless you have a doc who you trust implicitly and already have a reasonably good relationship with, I wouldn't. I'm only saying this because I know of people who have such a relationship w/ their doctors and would trust them.

In this case I don't know that its necessary to say any more than B12 injections and this thing came up. If you don't need to get into it, don't.

A girlfriend of mine wants to try DNP. I was curious if anyone has tried it before. If so did you like or dislike it? Side effects?
