Guest guest Posted September 22, 2006 Report Share Posted September 22, 2006 Hello all. I went to my doctor app't Wednesday. I am very discouraged. My doctor didn't really want to do any more testing on me, but I told her I am paying for it (I have no insurance) so I will get the tests done that I want. The Zyrtec helped my itching, and after I told the doctor that she acted like it was all better and nothing needed to be done. She mentioned that when someone has the itching sensation it only gets worse because it is thought about... it is only in our head. That is what my aunt heard for years before someone finally listend to her. I still need to know what started it and why my liver enzyme was high. Anyway, I told her I want the AMA test and for her to also redo the CMP. They drew my blood for the CMP, but they had no price on the AMA readily available since they do not do that often. The doctor said it is around $100 for it but for me to call back next week for the exact amount and then schedule for it to be done. I will definately have that test, but when I do not know yet. , I am a nurse as well... but I am an LPN, also working night shift and do 12 hour shifts every other weekend. I work every weekend, every Wednesday, and every other Monday night. I've been getting so worn out and very moody lately, especially after working my three nights in a row. You worked night shift so I am sure you know that it is very different than working days, and is more wearing on the body and mind. Sleep is always interrupted and no one in the family realizes that day time is our night time. Hope you are feeling better! ~AMY~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
