So sorry to hear about your distress. I wish I had some answers for you but by your message you seem to know a whole lot more about all of this than I do. I'm an Accountant (@#$$%%^) and I don't seem to have the medical background that you do, even though I work in health care field (Long Term Care). I guess I'm stupid. I have just always done what "they" said to do. I don't know what all they test for, let alone what the levels should be. We go back May 22 ( somewhere around there - Daytimer not in front of me - can't function!) and I have a tom of questions for our endo regarding things I've read on this board. I swear you guys know know more that "they" do! Keep the faith.... : )
