OK, update. After reading all the posts here, I did decide to go to the doc late last week. My doc is a good man and trust me, he's no dummy. He comes from a sports background himself. I think he played some college ball so I think he knows about steroids. Anyways, he didn't exactly accuse me of using steroids, but he did question me about it a few times. I lied and told him I've never taken any, but I could tell he was skeptical of my answers. He did, however, prescribe me some Lasix. I decided to take a couple of pills this afternoon and I'm peeing like there's no tomorrow. I've also taken a few days completely off from training and I feel better physically, but the swelling is still in my legs. I'm gonna see what happens and really try to take care of my body for the next few days. I'll give you guys and update later as I'm thinking about going back to the doc to get the blood and urine tests the doc wanted to do. I'm just afraid he's going to find out about my lies about gear usage. Anyhoo, that's where I'm at now.

Uhm so what if he finds out? He may say you shouldnt do it or whatever but at least he will have a better idea of exactly what could be going on. I would have told him from the start. What do you think he's going to do call 911 ?
From Scotty's post this doesnt sound like something to mess around with. Doctors are confidential and they are there to HELP people. If you walked in high on smack - told him you were a heroin junky and had problems he would still try and help you. The steroids dont matter - he was just trying to get all the info he could about you.

How old are you bro? Is this the kind of thing where you're worried about him telling your parents? If so, I pm'ed you my tel number - call me and I'll drive over and take you to another doc. I'm just a couple hours away!The burden of originality is one that most people don't want to accept. They'd rather sit in front of the TV and let that tell them what they are suppose to like, what they're suppose to buy, and what they're suppose to laugh at. You have Beavis and Butthead telling you what music you're allowed to like and not like, and you've got sitcoms that have canned laughter that lets you know when to laugh if you're too stupid to know when the joke is. People are too lazy and too stupid to think for themselves because America has raised them that way.

If you cant go to Doc w/out your parents then you are too young to be on AS obviously.
I agree, but if he's 17/18 still on mom and dads insurance...hell I don't know. I'm just trying to figure out why someone wouldn't tell their doc when there is a chance their kidneys are failing!!!
Like I said - check your PM's bro. Call if you need anything...The burden of originality is one that most people don't want to accept.

Man this is your life you should worry about. Who gives a fuck if the doc knows your on juice. I mean really thats his job to figure out the problem he needs to know everything to figure out a diagnosis. What he knows is between you and him. That just really shows your immaturity level. You must be young to be scared to tell the doc, he cant call the cops on ya or anything. I just dont want you to end up dead do the right thing bro.

UPDATE!
OK bros, I finally went back to the doctor and got the blood and urine tests he wanted me to take. I got the results yesterday. Oh yeah, the Lasix is giving me some diarrhea, but at least the edema is going down and most of the swelling in my legs are gone. Thank god!!! I took last week off from training and I feel much better.
But the bad news is my lipid panel really sucks. It says that my LDL/HDL ratio is too high. Its more than two times the normal amount. I've been eating good, so I am a little surprised at this. Also, my SGOT count is too high. Doctor explained the stuff to me and I think it means that SGOT count has to do with the liver. Anyway, my count is too high which indicates my liver is very stressed. Possibly related to the Winny.
The really bad thing is my testosterone count. Says here that the expected range for a male is between 241-827. My value was a 59! And my cortisol count is also very high. I think its safe to say that the Fina totally shut me down. I stopped the Fina in my cycle last week and I am hoping that my test count rises even though I am going to push on with my cycle. I'm going in for another bood/urine test next week as well. BTW, anyone have an opinion about this? I know that my HPTA is totally shut down now and I need some time off of gear to recover, but I was planning on doing a very mild amount of Primo only right after this cycle (real soon). I don't want to stop now.

Baxter- Glad to hear you went through with the blood work-up and achieved a proper diagnosis. Glad to hear it wasn't your Kidneys... the Liver is much more capable of recovery than the Kidneys are. To assist your recovery from the Liver dysfunction... I recommend the following:
1.) 500mg of ALA every day(r-ALA is better if you can get it)
2.) 6 capsules of Tyler's Liver Detox every day
Both of these are available at www.anabolicfitness.net
3.) 1 tablespoon of Hempseed or Flaxseed oil every day
4.) 2000mg(gel caps) of Borage or Evening Primrose Oil every day
You can get the oils at a supplement store like GNC
Using these 4 products will have your lipid profile at an acceptable level FAST. I'm hardly bull-shitting when I say that these supplements with have a dramatic effect on your Liver in as little as 4 weeks... try it and see.
Now, as far as your HPTA goes... you're shut down something fierce Bro! You need to get on some ancilliaries SHARPISH! I recommend 3 weeks of HCG and Nolvadex... followed by 3 more weeks of Clomid. I've used this post-cycle regimen following my last 3 cycles and it gets your HTPA back on board every time. I've had post-cycle medicals following my last 2 cycles and my Endocrine system went right back to normal using this method. If you have access to HCG/Nolva/Clomid... let fly Bro. Get in touch with me for the dosages I run. Right now, the dominant hormones in your body are Cortisol and Estrogen/Progesterone... that is just awful man. If you don't already, you are going to look and feel like shit for months... unless you take something to assit the recovery of your HTPA.
Peace,
Scott.
