Guest guest Posted October 29, 2002 Report Share Posted October 29, 2002 Hi Tammy, I agree that your doc seems not to be up to par. But unfortunately I did not find something written to show him. There is no standard treatment plan that I know of. Anyone else? But nevertheless in my opinion it is " standard " to do sputum cultures or at least deep throat swabs at every clinic visit (preferrably every three months) and to do an extensive blood work once a year. Due to their malabsorption problems pwcf are at a higher risk to develop several deficiencies (e.g. vitamins A,D,E and K, selenium, zinc, iron and whatnot). And through the blood you have a good chance to detect liver problems at an early stage. I would at least mention it to your doc and ask for his opinion on this. Peace Torsten > LOL, I hear ya...maybe for one week, be admitted and > have someone wait on us for a week...Our clinic is > about 2 hours, but we never ddddddo the blood work > that you all talk about.
