Two ways to look at it in my opinion. If you're not worried about it and you're confident that the levels are what they are because of your self medicating, don't go to the endocrinologist. If you have an inkling that the levels are NOT a result of your manipulation AND may be caused by an internal physiological problem, then you better get yourself checked out. And I'd be an open book as well if you are seen by the endocrinologist. Put everything on the table (as far as what you're taking) so he can accurately diagnose you. As has been discussed earlier, I don't think you should feel obligated to explain your number one reason for taking the herbs but the Doctor needs to know that you ARE taking them. I was in the Doctors office last week and asked her questions about getting tested for testosterone and Klinefelter's syndrome. It was very uncomfortable and I was afraid she was going to ask why I was so interested in those things but instead, she was completely professional and answered my questions without putting me on the witness stand. I understand my questions could have been asked by anyone (unlike your situation) but I think we're always afraid that discussions are going to go places that make us uncomfortable. That doesn't always happen.
