Every Dr has their Speciality that I see for multiple conditions. The year 2022, made it this far with Primary progressive Multiple Sclerosis. Awaiting new medicine to come out, as my body makes everything off the table, except Copaxone and twenty plus medicines.
So I stick to what is working thru my lengthy list of medicines, and what they are used for. Vitamin D3 in high doses, followed by endocrinologist every three months. A GI Dr, A Kidney Dr, A Heart Dr, a blood Dr, a endocrinologist, Eye drs, The list goes on.
A B12 test was ordered to check my levels, as they were low a few years ago. This you pee out any extra. I see my blood Dr in a few weeks, as B12 can also make more red blood cells. I wonder about my other B vitamins. I do not need more red blood cells, as that makes more hemoglobin, which in turn bounces me back to another Dr.
I was on high dosage of Biotin a few years back, vitamin B7. I measured pure powder on a scale, following study, but on real biotin, followed by endocrinologist. The vitamin affects many lab test, and I had to stop for my endocrinologist. The high dose biotin trial, never panned out with good results anyways.
Currently my labs look good, but adding in certain vitamins could cause problems. I have hereditary Hemochromatosis, with the Rare H63D genes, both gave me iron overload in 2018/9. I did 17 phlebotomy or veinpuncture to resolve the iron, but that left me iron deficiency for three years. That has its own set of problems, of Anemia, and items shown how blood is made from the bones. I will have to go into detail in another blog.
Anyways, being unique in getting all the side effects of medicines, especially generic, My team works hard to ensure I stay on name brand.
A Testosterone test came back with erroneous readings. My Dr thought the batch that my pharmacy sent was bad. She made three attempts at over a hour each to get a replacement medication. They decided to play Dr, and Not Send any new unit, so I could retest. Every day she sent a new prescription in, talking to pharmaceutical department, it put them shipping out the next 90 day order by a few days, of when my regular order was due. Three long emails were sent from me also about the problem, that they answered to call them again. This comes to who is playing Dr.
My three month labs will come due, right before my next shipment comes. A waste of resources, from the drs, the labs, The largest mail order pharmacy. They asked if I wanted to file a complaint. Hmm.. "Like bitting the tail of the Dragon that feeds you"
