If I took all the meds, especially antidepressants, that I have been prescribed I would be a REAL mess! (By the way, I did take a couple different kinds years ago so I can say that with authority!) I can take their prescriptions in my hand and throw then them in trash just like they tend do with my 'homeopathic mumbo jumbo' questions! They also ALWAYS want to put you on birthcontrol pills - geez are they getting a commission??
It is amazing to hear the statistics of women put on antidepressants. It is really epidemic.

Anyway, I would definitely take your lab results with you and point them out to the endo and ask, "HUH??? Isn't this abnormally high according to the specified range and if not, then WHY not?"

).

BTW, I do have a great Dr. now. He's a sports medicine guy that is never afraid to say, "hmmm, don't know - let me refer you." He's also been known to call his Dr. friends, do research on the net and call me at home - now that's a good dr.!
