@austin132 Looking at the whole picture is often crucial to putting pieces together and figuring out the issues to address. We cannot expect our primary care dr to be able to see what a specialist might see, that's for sure. In my health journey, I have learned to work with specialist of different sorts [oncologist, nephrologist, dermatologist, urologist, in addition to my primary care], and one thing is they look at the different things, but study the trends in my labwork. Keeping detailed notes about my symptoms help both them and me, noting specific things, times of day, food eaten, triggers, etc. This has helped me eliminate detrimental factors, and I don't have to rely on my memory to relate things to my team.
I will be interested to hear what your team finds out, and how it is resolved. Please let me know, and let me know if you have any other questions?
