Thank you and no it doesn't. I called and my doctor isn't in the office today. Her receptionist said she would ask her to send a new requisition asking for me to have my tests sooner. The Internist's office called today. I have a telephone appointment with him on the 28th. I'm to check mu blood pres...

I'm feeling really frustrated. I found out why I don't have my appointment for the echocardiogram and stress test. It was marked elective so there's a 10 month wait! The woman said I would have to get my family doctor to send a new requisition marked urgent to get it done sooner. She said that I cou...

That's wonderful news!

Congratulations!

I'm so very sorry for the loss of your Mom.*hugs*

Thank you CancerBum! I was on synthroid for years for hypothyroidism. My doctors have always just tested TSH. I'm hoping my endocrinologist added free T3 and free T4 to my TSH blood test on the 15th.

I wish I didn't have to wait until October 28th for the colonoscopy but his receptionist sai...

My GI said he would do a colonoscopy for my peace of mind. The colonoscopy isn't scheduled until October 28th because everything is very slow here. He's ordering a stool antigen test because he said that H Pylori could cause the bloating, feeling full all of the time and weight loss. He said once we...

My kidney x-ray didn't show nephrocalcinosis yet the ultrasound did. It's confusing. The endocrinologist is just having me do 400iu of vitamin D once a week and if my symptoms don't get worse after two weeks then go up to 800iu a week. I know 1000 iu is standard but that makes me feel really awful s...
