thanks for the encouragement! and advice! i like your motto about "if in doubt......" certainly don't want to create problems where none exist. just looks like i have my work cut out for me in understanding all of this. definitely gonna discuss with other doctors as well before we do too much. and i'm supposed to see her back in 2 months, not sure that's enough time to start whatever i decide to start, one at a time, observe effect, move to next thing, especially since rheumy is working with me on finding an antiinflammatory.
i know she expects that i'll just take her stuff starting right now, so two months would be plenty of time. but i don't think all doctors think about what the other doctors have us doing.
that was one of the things i liked about my endocrinologist right from the start, i was to start synthroid with him, progesterone with the PA from the GYN office, some other stuff with a rheumy, and he was a big proponent of starting one thing at a time and helped me figure out in which order to start it all; the other doctors were just prescribing in a vacuum.
feels like so many balls to juggle some days, but i'm not feeling too overwhelmed really because i know if i just let it all incubate, i usually figure out how i want to approach things. its just when i listen to too many voices that i get overwhelmed and confused.
i'll figure it out, one step at a time i think, but think i need my other doctors' help on this one. in a way nice i have 3 doctors concerned about my endocrine stuff, on the other hand have to be careful its not too many chefs......
looks like i need to do more reading on all that food allergy testing. see what practical implications all those definitions of IgX have.
thanks
