Dr's and the pill racket piss me off, badly. They push antidepressants like a crack dealer. I love how they want to push MORE anti depressants while you are already on them, it's the biggest scam in the medical world. The long term effects of most of these drugs are horrendous, never mind the...

Im going to split tests up between where it's the cheapest to order, Im going to use the discountedlabs.com estradiol test for sure, since it seems to be the correct one at a good price. I guess Im worried Im going to do labs for everything, then end up doing them again shortly if I go through a...

Alright, getting ready to order more blood tests. Should I do test levels again? Since testing last time I have went to the gym a couple times (easing back into it), and have started taking B6. Do I need to nail all of these in one shot, or should I do a few at a time and do more testing as...

Going to call around locally Monday and see what the damage is on a sleep study, I have always heard they are thousands of dollars, Im hoping that's not sure. I will order up the iron tests, thank you for your recommendations and replies!

But within my range it's probably not giving me falsely higher numbers or anything like that, right? I will do the LC/MS next time though if that's the better route. I live at sea level, have never smoked cigarettes (I did grow up in a smoking house hold and was exposed to second hand smoke...

Does the ECLIA test read higher than the LC/MS? I read that and am curious.

Oh I wasnt asking her, but as soon as she said my numbers were normal, I knew the place she works at is outdated or just flat out shouldnt be playing with hormones. I did call Defy today, got the forms, gonna talk to some local places, feel everything out for sure. This is a small area that's...

My cousin who's a medical assistant but thinks she's a Dr said today "429 is normal, that's a good number, it's above the limit". I asked how they would inject at their office if they treat somebody, just to see what she would say, and before she said it I already knew it, "we do it every two...

I have read the sticky, just curious if anybody had before and after results with blood work, I hope it's that easy because the idea of getting a needle to the leg twice a week for the next 50 years doesnt sound appealing. I have most of it covered, never any alcohol, I sleep as much as I want...

I tried calling today but it was too late in the day and I couldnt get a human on the phone. Going to try again tomorrow. Isnt having a high hematocrit (although in range, 49.9 is 1.1 away from the end of the scale, and my hemoglobin and RBC are close to the end of the range too) indicative of...

She told me today that my levels were bad and recommended I go to an anti aging clinic, but she also gave me the names of a couple of Dr's in town to talk to about things. She didnt think my hematocrit was an issue though, but I cant see how it isnt? So what should a 34 year old's levels even...

That actually sounds great because I prefer the idea of up front costs. The mystery and vagueness of the medical billing system has been a subject of ire for me for a long time. Im actually at the discount self pay Dr now for my Paxil RX, I'm gonna show her blood work and just see what she says...

Thanks for the replies! Vince, I was put on Paxil for OCD in 1999, I was on a much higher dose but have been slowly weaning down over the years. It's one of the hardest things to get off of once you have been on it for a long period of time. I think the side effects of being on it, as well as...

Alright, Im a noob as far as posting here but have been reading these forums, peaktest forums and t nation for a little while as I have been suspect of either my T levels or thyroid for a bit. I decided to take the plunge with discountedlabs.com and take advantage of their special at $34 for...
