Okay, so yesterday I attended my local GP because I've been taking creatine and arginine a bunch of other supplements for about a year now, and not feeling the best lately, I've managed to convince myself that I've induced some sort of renal failure. I'm not a doctor, but I come from a family with a long history of hypochondria. Anyhow... so my doctor, who is totally crap, suggests that he send me to a "macro-nutrient specialist". It's so typical. The NHS is broke, and this clown wants to send a perfectly healthy man to an expensive specialist for an unnecessary examination.

I eventually convince the doctor to just do a routine blood test. He agrees (although he wants to send me to a specialist - hopefully a shrink - at a later
time). He hands me the form, and asks me to make an appointment with the nurse. And here the story gets interesting. You see, I noticed on the form, in addition to all the checked items like Renal, Insulin, Thyroid blah stuff, I see Testosterone. Hmmm... I think... having often
wondered what my actual testosterone levels are, and given that I take every supplement under the sun, but steroids, to try and raise the level, this unnecessary test could do wonders for my body dysmorphia. Maybe my levels are unnecessarily low, and justify my need to take steroids. Maybe they're really high, and off the scale, and the doctor needs to know that. So, anyhow, rather than ask to see the doctor again, I palm a pen and fake an excuse to use the bathroom, where I add the necessary checkmark. Of course, this is probably no biggie, but I'm now racked with worry that I'll be caught out with my little fraud. But is it a fraud?
