Should I tell my dr.?

[SuppAddict]

I am on my parents insurance but everytime i go to the doc, i pay them $15. Is there more to pay besides this?? my parents did get something in the mail today from the insurance company and asked me about. It wasn't a bill though. Luckily the phone rang, and i had to go out, but its gonna come back on me soon. i just know it. i should have just told them in the first place. I just know they are gonna be so upset. hopefully they won't take away my car, that would really suck for me.

i'm not so sure I wanna try to start taking more stuff but thanks for the advice. i just wanna wait this out and see what happens. the dr seems like he will be able to get everything under control over time but wants to wait and see first. His main concearn was my BP which is better now with the pills.

To add to all this, i'm doing worse in school now and could fail 2 classes, and possibly a 3rd. i'm not sure if its normal, but when taking this, I was not getting enough sleep, and just had a hard time concentrating.

thanks to everyone who was understanding (I admite, i was dumb, made a mistake---this was stupid, worst thing I did, and it keeps getting worse it seems)

Yeah you really should tell your parents. I would just ease into it and ask them to let you explain everything before they start asking questions. Try to catch them in a good mood. Maybe if you say that you are willing to accept any punishment, they might not come down so hard on you because you are being mature about the situation. Good luck.

You are concerned about your car getting taken away? Who cares?

If it was me my health would be my concern.

i didnt wanna post this here cause i figured i would be flamed but its to late for that now

so i'm 18, took phera plex at 4 weeks (2 pills/day for 2 weeks, 3 for the last 2), superdrol at 4 weeks (3 pills/day), and ax pct for 4 weeks
(i was told this was ok when I bought the stuff)

well, i went to the dr and i'm really messed up--i got my test results and
my cholestorol levels are really bad, my liver isn't good (he accused me of drinking heavily), and my blood pressure is very high

i didn't tell him about the stuff i took cause i didn't know what he would do but told him i was on creatine, no, whey, etc...

he said it could be part of the problem and did another blood test (do you think he is testing me for drugs? will this show up)

he actually gave me cholestorol meds and something for high blood pressure

1. should i just tell him what i took?
2. should i take the stuff he gave me as a legal pct? and stop after a while?
3. should i not do/take anything, and will this get better on its own?
4. don't tell me i'm stupid and blah blah blah, i know i screwed up really bad

i have no clue why you wouldnt tell your dr,,what do u think he will do ?? call the police ring your mum lol

I am worried about my health but i think my doctor will take care of that now. my parents are asking questions anyways cause the insurance company mailed them something so i have to tell them today.

and yeah, i am concearned about my car. If they take it away, or make me pay the payments (don't even know how much they are?) i'll be screwed.

 

[nsimmons]

Tell your dad you cant get it up and thats punishment enough...

 

[aceshigh]

[aceshigh]

The parents CAN ask if their insurance requires them to cover some costs and that means a reason code is given for the diagnosis. Guess you need reminding about health care costs and what insurance policies look like these days. Very few are comprehensive and cover all costs. At 18, if you're living with them, they're playing your medical coverage, and they declare you as dependent on taxes, they got a right to know of potential medical concerns associated with unusual results on a liver panel.

Start practicing the heel toe express. Shit I bought my own car at 18

Sorry about the previous message; meant to quote it but instead hit enter and it came up.

Anyway, you need to learn the law, specifically HIPAA laws that state anyone over 18 has to give someone permission in writing to obtain any medical history about them. So in other words, your parents cannot go to the doctor and ask about your history. If they do and the MD tells them anything about your medical history, you have grounds for medical malpractice against the MD.

Just giving free advice. Learn your law Trouble, or you will be in some serious trouble one day.

Thats not going to go over well..shes doesnt take well to criticism..

 

[tucker01]

There is a difference between constructive criticism and Arrogant critcism.

I know how I would view it

Also varies by state statutes.

Yes, ID, I'm not insensible to correction. My point was the parents will receive itemized medical charge statements and will ask questions.

As an aside, the change in liver lipid status affects Circadian Rhythm cycles and can distrupt sleep. The effect should diminish as liver recovery proceeeds.

heel toe express???

I probably wouldn't be able to afford the car on my own...

That only applies to minors or people unable to give consent (The severely handicapped, etc), HIPAA kicks in at 18 regardless of dependency. I don't know what Insurance forms look like, but I imagine they don't say "Liver tests for steroid abuse" on them.

I imagine if they really wanted to know they could ask what all the tests were for, but how they could bring that back to steroids would probably have to come from the doctor. Liver tests and such can be used for many reasons so I think you would be fine.

he did give me something to help with my headaches (think it is blood pressure medicine) and it did help.

If that doesn't work I have a hammer I will sell you for $91.

 

[cg18862]

Trouble,
I didn't mean to be arrogant or have my comments misconstrued that way. I was just trying to explain the law and how it applies to your comment. As far as your link:

There are two classes of person whose records may, in certain circumstances, be made available to parents or guardians

those relating to persons with a disability, and
those relating to minors

The poster 1) does not have a disability and 2) is not a minor. He is over 18 and his parents do not have a right to view his medical history without his consent.

I work in civil litigation office dealing with personal injury clients. We have to obtain written authorizations from our clients, or from their parents if they are a minor or have a disability; otherwise our clients have to give us permission to receive their medical records.

Again, didn't mean to offend you if I did.

Also, the FOI (Freedom of Information) Act is basically used to obtain information such as police reports, construction plans, criminal records checks, and other information from government bodies like police departments or your local or state government offices.

i looked at the thing from the insurance company. It said

Lipid profile, general health panel, and a bunch of other stuff with charges and how much was covered.

that shit is expensive!

i guess i could lie and say my cholestorol is just high and he wants to make sure everything is ok. I'm not sure what i'm gonna do about telling them. Guess it will depend on what they ask and how far they push it.

good to know about that law though. i know they can't find out at all unless i tell them. thanks

 

[nsimmons]

just tell them youve been partying too much and havent been feeling good

out of curiosity how much were they. I work at a vet lab and we charge about 50 bucks for a general panel includes a chem sceen and hematology, and another 5-8 dollars for each additional chem, sgpt, sgot, etc...

Ive had the techs run a cbc/diff on me when i cut myself. I guess i could bleed in a cup and run my lipids.

I went to the Dr. because I had a cold for 6 weeks. He did nothing aside from ask questions and took blood for a cholesterol test. Cost was over $300, thank god for insurance...And I didn't tell my parents either.

 

[Trouble]

Let me put it this way. The parents who are paying for the insurance have a right to ask for an explanation of why these tests were carried out. They're probably genuinely concerned about SuppAddicts health.

My guess is that they will instead ask our thread petitioner why he went to the doctors.

And here is the rub. The consequences for telling the parents the truth (apart from the temporary heath effects and apparent impact to grades, which I might add is a peripheral excuse for poor academic performance) versus those for not telling them.

 

[Dale Mabry]

Honestly, been saying that a lot lately, I would tell them the truth. You are 18 years old, time to cut the cord...son.

 

[cg18862]

I agree that the moral thing to do would be to tell your parents about why you have been going to the doctor for all kinds of tests.

From a legal standpoint, they do NOT have the right to ask why, even though they pay for the insurance and co-pays & co-insurance. MD's do not care who pays for the tests as long as they get paid.

 

[Masternutt]

Hey dude I think you'll be alright, just remember to do a proper preload and post cycle. But please post your blood work after about 8 to 10 weeks out from the cycle. its very interesting

 

[fufu]

Old thread.

 

[flex78]

Live and learn......let this be a lesson to you. I'm sure you won't do this again!! Good Luck to your health. Yeah that stuff will mess up your test results. I have good BP and lipid levels off cycle. When I took stuff before it messed up the values bad. In short I don't take the hormones any more.

 

[quark]

OK, now I'm just throwing out an idea here but this situation is such a classic story... the age, the problems, the parental dilema, the PHs. Is it real or Memorex? Like I said just a thought.

 

[2ndpassion]

You should most definately see a doc and dont worry about telling them any specific facts about why you are there. You can just describe the symptoms to the doc and they should be able to run the proper tests
