Do you tell your Dr you're on peps?

[gusterbuster]

I tell them im on trt and thats it. If I need a surgery then I'll say im on compounded tirz.

If i admit to hgh, its pretty obvious I'm getting it black market as I dont have HIV or a pituitary issue. And I'm not in the tax bracket to get it any other way lol.

Shit im on self prescribed pitavastatin and Ezetimibe (thanks to my indian friends) because they dont believe in preventative cardiac treatment. I dont say anything and if prescribed something new, I look up the indications and contra indications of new med before taking it. But they are super impressed by an under 40 ldl, 44 apo b, and low triglycerides.

Depends on the doctor. I told my doctor I’m taking Reta, because he’s always been pretty chill with things like that. He’s always been cool with prescribing whatever I need too lol. I feel it’s important for him to know.

Mine won't touch trt so I told him I've been in tough with a clinic. He is open to a glp-1 when I brought it up but told me nothing would be covered ... just going to go ahead and do that myself as well and let him know. If I have to lose my GP over it I will just go to clinics again.

Ive had this same questions for a while now, wondering how many people tell their doctors and how many doctors get mad, upset or judgmental. I’m kinda scared to tell my doctor, I feel like she’s going to scold me.

Funny enough, I had my first appointment with a PCP in years on this past Thursday….picked them off my insurance company list of PCPs…I was nervous but I was gonna at least tell them about my Tirz, and did.

Walked in, and they had adds for NAD, Glutathione on the walls and they are fully on board with peps. Blood tests they ordered coming soon 😊

Is "PCP" personal care physician? Or? Thx

Primary care provider… in theory the doctor/np you go to for everything that refers you to the relevant specialists as needed. They handle the overview of your health as well as the sniffles and more common maladies.

I told my newly assigned family doctor about my personal peptide research at our first meeting, along with the significant health benefits I'd experienced over the course of 3 months of research (30 lbs lost, significant drop in BP, disappearance of sleep apnea, chronic knee inflammation relief). She didnt know much about peptides but she did know about GLP meds. Not suprisingly, she was skeptical of my accessing grey-market sources and urged caution, exactly the reactions one would expect of a health professional. She gave me a scrip for an exhaustive blood draw for me to do after a couple of weeks had passed. I also talked to my pharmacist (not sure about other jurisdictons, but here in Quebec, pharmacists have a broad role in the personal heath care universe) who had heard about peps but didn't know a lot. He also urged exercise of the same cautions mentioned by the doc, but also seemed interested in the subject. Newcomers to the world of peps have no idea how robust our information and research sources are. In both encounters, I felt eager to share with them a number of our go-to websites so they could be better informed. I think that will make them better informed as more and more of their patients/clients come forward to reveal their oen personal peptide research.

My civilian dr is pretty cool and was willing to prescribe wegovy but insurance didn't cover it. He's in good shape so I suspect he uses something to supplement his health improvement. I'm gonna do a deep blood panel so I might tell him a little of what I'm doing. My V.A. Dr is a young douchebag with the bedside manners of a 5 year old. I don't trust him at all. I've lost 25 lbs. since last visit and I'm gonna tell him it's all diet abs nothing else. Not even exercise.

I tell my doc it's compound. I'd never say directly that it's grey, because no matter what he thought, he'd be obligated to write it in my medical chart; and I don't want some pencil pusher from my insurance company to use it as a reason to deny a claim if I get sick, saying grey caused it.

Absolutely not. The majority of them know absolutely nothing about peptides or anything thats not pushed by big pharma. They will blame the peptides on any issues you may be having. I also hear there are insurance implications if your insurance company finds out you are taking "research chemicals" or things that aren't fda approved.
