[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 241453, member: 1233"] I wasn't totally clear on that either, the parathyroid thing. But until I do some research I can't really ask intelligent questions. I didn't know it was being tested, but I can get answers from the rheumatologist when I see him on the 24th or else I see this doctor on the 6th, so he will explain more then. I hate all these flippin' appts. And now trying to coordinate my prescriptions to mail in because our insurance changed and it is WAY more expensive to get my medications anywhere in town than to use the mail order pharmacy the INSURANCE COMPANY OWNS! Why is it legal for an insurance co to own a pharmacy and force you to use it??? For some things I am now getting them at WalMart and NOT using the insurance because we have a minimum of $10 per month locally or $20 for a 3 month supply by mail order. The $10 is just a MINIMUM. But I can get some of the medications for $4 a month or $10 for 3 months at WalMart - and that saves me a TON. The doctor knows, we just had a flyer that said starting jan 1 if you had insurance changes and needed to use 2 pharmacies to take advantage of the WalMart deal or a mail order deal, they understood. As they rx my pain medications, I want them to KNOW what all I am doing and do it by THEIR rules. (Actually I have another pharmacy also because my Vit D has to be compounded specially and even the ins co special compounding pharmacy can't/won't make it in injections.) I am going to work out my list of reasons for the liver test, including my mom having it, the symptoms that COULD be caused/helped by it/the anxiety from not knowing and wondering, etc... and if the rheumy will not order the test I will make a special appointment with my reg doctor to test for it. You ladies are jsut the greatest. I know I can come here and get some new ideas and strategies, etc... as well as have you "get it" on so many things. husband just doesn't. He will listen, but mostly he just doesn't understand any of it, and is scared of it all (including ME sometimes, esp if I am crying). Thanks. [/QUOTE]
