I think you misunderstood my question. There is a steroid test kit that will identify what those tabs are. The one that detects var and winny has come up negative. These are valid tests used by LE, not something some kid made with his chemistry set. I'm willing to go on the assumption I did something wrong that caused a negative result, but a positive result for something else using the full kit will be definitive.
W.r.t. blood work, I am a compulsive tester. There is absolutely no question the tabs are the source of the problem. Doesn't mean they aren't var. I'm willing to wait for the test kit. I didn't mean for this to be public before I was certain.
