TPN

[Charris]

Hemotologist is going to try to get me TPN. He says my copper and niacin are extremely low and its very hard to get them up via oral supplements. The first time i became severely malnourished it was those 2 along with magnesium that were very low. Here we go........

Did you get started on TPN? I know your insurance is messed up right now and I hoping you were able to get things started before the cancellation event.

Is a dietitian qualified to over rule a hematologist?

When insurance is involved guess so

Have your copper/niacin/magnesium levels increased on diet/supplements alone in the past month? Maybe time to visit that hematologist for a follow-up?

That’s when I’d go over her head and back to the hematologist.
