Thank you for the speedy response! These will be my first labs since beginning treatment—extensive labs done prior to beginning treatment (including all the bone markers, urine calcium, etc discussed in this forum). So I imagine that is my new doc’s reasoning for requiring them now.
This is just my first experience with such a high level of frustration with this kind of process (and I tried to get it addressed a month before it became such a fire drill, but with the holidays didn’t get anywhere). Being off the med for a month, and concern over the possibility of not being able to continue an annabolic, are the big points for me. I understand and appreciate the doc wanting the labs and I know insurance companies are what they are and that there is a process. Patience is a virtue I guess is going to be a necessity here! I really appreciate the reassurance from you and @gently —i feel far less isolated in the process!
