They did. Checked liver levels; did both a baseline hearing and vision exam. I sense they are familiar with the disease; I also sense their ability to work with me to arrive at an acceptable treatment plan is dictated by a heavy patient load and a "trial and error" mentality. In deciding to discontinue this regimen on Tuesday, I called and have yet to hear back from them. (Already feeling better!) Have my first support-group meeting on the 17th and will seek advice locally about whether a change in ID doctors is even possible. Pray for me! And thank you for your responses!
