I feel that it is very important for everyone to advocate for themselves. While I was very anxious to begin taking the meds prescribed by the pdoc I felt it was important for her to know more about me before prescribingthem. I now feel that my reluctance to begin the meds was a smart decision. I just received the results of my latest labs which indicates my liver function is out of whack and for the first time. This is significant as my last labs were done in March at which time the results were normal. Taking into consideration that many pdrugs can mess with liver function I am very fortunate not to have started them before determining what is currently wrong.

For many reasons I am leary of most doctors. I am glad I trusted my gut feeling and will now seek a new pdoc.
