Thanks. You might be right about the tests. Worst of all she joined a practice (corporation?) about 8 years ago. They may be strangling the doctors.

I've reviewed KM's work--have his new book (a tome). I need the tests to even take to a functional doctor. [KM lists thousands of dollars worth of tests in his book, by my estimate. The blood work, that I had for my annual charged my HC around $700.]

I'm working to find an endo that will see me before August. My PCP is not taking patients anymore. I am figuring that she is winding down her practice and is creating a pretext to dump me.

What I resent most of all is the condescension. My life has been about research (Ph.D). It is not in medicine, but I'm not an idiot.] Clinical education/practice/experience understandably triumphs research papers, etc. I don't know why she will not take seriously a L in the high -4s. She has one more opportunity to adjust her thinking to a non-PMOP! [Not that her behavior should be appropriate for a female with the same numbers either!]

I just started reading his book this weekend. My numbers are in the 5’s and I am 64 and scared. I called his office and the they can offer discounts for labs. I booked a consult with him and mailed him the labs I do have. Endos are hard to find and especially ones that specialize in bones. Do you have a teaching hospital near by? That really is where you should be seen. I am fortunate to have San Fran and Stanford close by. It still took me five months to get into one. She prescribed tymlos for me but there is a hitch. My follow up with her is in six months. She is so busy and I worry about starting a med like that and not having a doc that is accessible.
Keep searching for an endo. I am sorry your doc isn’t helping you.
Please keep us updated.
All the best,
