      I have my first doctors appointment in 10 years... I got a small case fo gyno from my last cycle and wanted to know what would be the best way to address this with the doc. Should I tell him I have had it since puberty and it has just started getting bad lately. Should I say i used something like 4AD instead of telling him my actual cycle? I am guessing if I say i got it from juice then there is no way insurance will cover any of it, where if i say it was from puberty they may cover it?

      Any thoughts?

      be honest. tell him its steroid related. he isnt a dummy he knows what injection sights look like. and you still have doctor , patient confidentiality. not to mention any future meds that might conflict with your cycles.

      The thing is I am moving next month, so this is the only time I will ever see th is guy. And I dont quite get what your saying about him knowing what an injection site looks like. I dont have obvious injection spots all over me. I just have a lump in my chest.

      any thoughts on what the doc might be able to do to help out. Should I tell him that I am currently running nolvadex?

      If it came down to surgery though, wouldnt I be in better shape if i were to say i had the lump since puberty and it has just become worse?

      I hear ya on telling everything though. He can not release the info to the insurance company can he?

      Any thoughts on what the doc will offer up as a resolution?

      That is why i want to say i Have had it since puberty... then there would be a chance that insurance would cover the surgery. If i say i did it to myself, then im stuck with i a big bill. I guess i can keep running the nolva for a few more weeks and see if that helps, but it has not been doing anything so far.

      so i shouldnt mention steroids ... maybe say i used andro and it agrivated and existing gyno problem from puberty ??

      Only thing is im leaving my job, so i will no longer have insurance period in another month... so i would have to waite till i land a new job to have surgery.

      should I continue to run nolva for another month or so or is it once you have the lump, there is no getting rid of it.

      I would not mention steroids at all. Say puberty, and possibly prohormones.

      Tell him you think you got it from ********. Search the web and print out a study called "Unilateral Gynecomastia Induced by Treatment With 1 mg of Oral Finasteride", April 2002, by Juan Ferrando, MD; Ramon Grimalt, MD; Merce Alsina, and so on.

      I think ill stick with saying it came on during puberty and has become agrivated recently due to pro-hormone levels.... he can see in my medical record i have never had ******** perscribed... and why make the story more complex .

      good idea. don't mention steroids unless you already have an unusual patient-dr confidentiality. i don't think most docs would put that in your records but you never know. my doc knew i was juiced when i walked in. having been a boxer and working out with bodybuilders and powerlifters for many years he knew his shit and didn't really care.

      My brother had gyno surgery from AS and the insurance covered everything. I'm pretty sure his doctor knew about the drugs too. I would still hide it though just in case. My poor bro looked just like a chick after she gets breast implants afterward. LOL
