Lab test results
I just spoke with the doc this morning!!! I was wondering if they had received the results (the office is in Washington, and I am in Alaska), so I had them re-fax them, and FINALLY heard back today.
Everything "looks good" and is in the normal ranges!!!!!!!! YEA!!!!! The doc tests for so much, vitamins, iron, cholesterol, thyroid. I am glad he is SO detailed about that. We also touched base on the weight issue, and discussed diet, exercise. And he also mentioned that if I could have a doc follow me up here in Alaska, it would be good to get me on phentermine along with diet & exercise, my weight loss would be way more effective. But he would not write the prescription, because I needed to have my blood pressure checked while on it.
He is sending me a prescription for iron, it is called Niferex. I am just SO HAPPY that my levels are so good!!!!
