Re. Tap and medical records question

[Guest guest]

FYI,

Re. getting your medical records and lab results. I am able to

sign a release with my lab, when having my blood drawn, so that

I can get the results directly from the lab by phone. This has

allowed me to adjust my dose immediately rather than wait for

the MD appt. I am also beginning to believe that after awhile,

one can begin to adjust their meds without the lab work, if they

are really attuned to their body and symptoms. I am working on

this, though I feel more comfortable having the labwork to

confirm my suspicions of hyper or hypo.

Mid America Clinical Labs is the lab I work with. I bet other labs

do the same if you ask. I wonder what percentage of us end up

adjusting our own meds. It would be an interesting poll. Oh, to

be able to test your own thyroid levels, like a diabetic does with

his/her blood sugar.
