i got some back in September to check prolactin and I just got some done a week ago to check prolactin and A1C for the endocrinologist.

I refuse to be on a med that requires frequent blood work because it's such a pain in my *** to get it that I put it off for weeks. If it's fasting I have to go early in the morning and I don't do well getting up early so I'd have to take off work, or go on Saturday, but then I have to take my son with me on Saturday...it's such a pain. Plus, I have small deep veins and they can NEVER find one on the first try. They usually stick me three or four times in multiple spots and end up going in my hand which hurts and bruises like hell.

So I just won't get blood work done. No depakote, lithium, or tegretol for me.
