Hello and welcome. I’m sorry to hear about your diagnosis, but I’m glad that you found us.
One suggestion for your upcoming appointments is to request a lab slip for your *next* set of labs at each appointment. Then you can have bloodwork done in advance of your next appointment. The down side is that this does require separate trips to the lab and to the doctor’s office. (Which some insurance plans might have an issue with). However, this allows you to spend your time with the doc actually looking at your labs and being able to ask questions, rather than having to decipher a phone message after the fact as to how to adjust your dosing.
Take care — and please keep us posted!
