My pdoc has never ordered any blood tests. Well, a couple of times he did, for drugs that required blood levels. My GP keeps track of my thyroid meds, well, she does when I remind her and point out what the new normal levels are-the lab's levels are years out of date. Not that treating my hypothyroidism had the slightest effect on my depression. Emme, I'm curious about the various cortisol tests, what does your doctor plan to do if they come back abnormal-I know there are potential new AD's in trial that work on this system, but nothing now that I know about. I can't see my HMO ordering a test if there's isn't any current way to fix what it
tests for. Cecilia
