Should I tell my doc about my steroid use in the U.S?

[TrenVeryHard]

It’s illegal to possess steroids, not to have them in your system. If your doctor isn’t willing to help you get a better doctor. Telehealth is where it’s at

I won't get into personal stories, but many doctors have a full office recording devise that logs everything you tell them. This can be AI searched for any keywords they want. The conversations with your doctor being private based on HIPAA is nothing more than a wet dream unless you're personal friends.

honestly a bunch of nonsense. if they released information and violated provider patient confidentiality, they would be legally fucked

We have many examples of your health info being subpoenaed for use against you in this thread alone. A court can get anything deemed relevant. Your health info isn't protected. Illegal drug use that is known to have major health consequences, and or cause emotional instability is a no-brainer. Your denial is a bunch of nonsense.

You're better off tell them you do meth. At lease people will feel bad for you.

Methheads are scary. Tell them you're hooked on opiates and it's the Sackler family's fault, then you'll get sympathy and attentive care.

Doctor refuses to write me a script for telmisartan or do blood work. Want to get it covered by insurance be doing it privately. Wondering if I should be honest and if he will then do what I want? I'm worried though as I'm in the US. Can I be denied a claim later on before because of roid use? What do you guys in the US think?

You want to be on the books for BP meds? Not a great idea dude! If you MUST use meds to control your BP, get it yourself and keep that off the record.

Your doc can't deny you medical treatment, but they can absolutely brand you as a "drug user" that will absolutely follow you forever. Same for shit like BP meds, life insurance comes to mind.
