DS on Aug 9, 2007 with Dr. Hazem Elariny
Brenda - I don't count on my Dr to watch my labs. From what I've seen they just glance quickly over it - they don't do the comparisons. I had to question my ALT/AST since it was high ever since surgery and didn't go down (nope - wasn't drinking then). Only way I saw that was by tracking my labs myself.
I've tweaked my vitamins myself (with the help of Gina and others) based upon my lab results.
We really ARE our own advocates!!
