I'm having another extensive blood work-up done by a new GP physician and one of the things the doctor wanted to check was my magnesium levels, this was without me asking about it and I have a good feeling about this physician. Maybe this testing will give me some interesting feedback.
Surprisingly non of my psychiatrists have done a
lick of testing, they usually just prescribe the meds. Is this a sign of poor psychiatry? I never can get into the doors of the highly recomended psychiatrists.-John
