A member asked:

What is the best way to tell my gp i'm on steroids. i want to do it safely and have regular bloods done so i would like if i could do it through him?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Steroids: Unless there is a good medical reason to be on steroids (body building is not a good reason) you should not take them and just tell your GP. His interest is in taking care of you.And if he is a good GP, he will tell you to stop.
