Guest guest Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Well, I'm a little overwhelmed and disappointed *sigh* I called the new doctor today to see if my labs were done. She said only part of them had come back. I asked for the numbers. The only numbers she had were the TSH and my Cholesterol. TSH - 11.50 UGH Cholesterol - 280 DOUBLE UGH Bad Cholesterol - 211 TRIPLE UGH She didn't seem too concerned, which is the really disappointing part. I asked if she was going to do the T3 and T4 tests, she said we'd discuss it the next time I see her, which is in a month. She also is calling in a scrip for a larger dosage of levoxyl - she said 75 mcg. I'm taking 25mcg now. Isn't that a big jump at one time? She was ready to not even deal with it until my next appointment. VERY disappointing. She's also got me taking 20mg of Lipitor for the cholesterol. Soooo...I'm going to have my blood work done myself through Health Check. It will probably end up being cheaper for me that way, anyway, as my health insurance only pays if it's a full moon in July and you're standing on your head with a dead mouse in your pocket at midnight. I know I need the T3 and T4 numbers...but do I need anything else? I'm probably going to have the General Health screening if I don't need anything more than T3 and T4. If I do, then I'll just get those, plus whatever else I need and go from there. Ughhhhh...my head is swimming. Thanks for listening, __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
