I made an earlier post on this thread describing my situation so I will skip right to the numbers. I apologize for the results being a little hacked together. Page 1 is from last week but incomplete (unknown to me) and page 2 is from late January and might have some of what page 1 is missing.
My PCP told me yesterday that she did not order all the labs on my list (VitaLady's) because she felt she could not justify them. I was very clear early on that many things about my situation may not make sense in the typical medical or bariatric world but that I just needed her to follow along and trust the information I was researching. I even offered a month ago to pay her privately for her time to learn about the DS and get up to speed. She said there was no need to do that and that she would work with me. Long story short we had a bit of a melt down as she took the position that the blood lab IRS may come through the doors and audit her orders and she was afraid that she couldn't justify them as she didn't really understand them. I took the position of I am the one paying even through insurance to have them and since I am paying I want what I want and know it is in my best interest. I really get the feeling she works for my insurance cost controllers more than for me. Bottom line is I am trying to find a new PCP as I type.
So, attached are the results that I have. I have begun assembling my vitamins based on what I have learned and now just need a little help with dosages and any conflicts. I know there are some iron conflicts and that D is to be taken with calcium. Anything else? What are the possibilities for infusions? Are they a good idea/option? I know iron is possible, what else is? Any advice is appreciated. If there is more I need to gather or divulge please let me know. Thanks so much. EW
