wobblerlorriWell, it might be. I don't know yet. I had blood drawn Thursday a week ago, and the nurse called me Monday evening. The doctor wants to SEE ME about my blood work. My appt is tomorrow (Thursday).
I had CMP, cholesterol (total, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides), HbA1c, and B12 done. I quit taking the Zetia she'd prescribed 6 weeks ago because of muscle pain, but I was taking the fish oil as I discussed in a previous post. So she might be wanting to discuss my cholesterol. But she usually just tells me she's "calling something in", which I usually don't get, because I can't take the statins or the Zetia-type drugs.
Or there's something going on with my liver. I'm taking Wellbutrin, Protonix, and ranitidine (Zantac); Wellbutrin and Protonix can both damage the liver.
Rhabdomyolysis will show up in the CMP, in the liver tests. Maybe there's something that showed up from the Zetia.
The CMP also looks at BUN and creatinine -- maybe my kidneys are having issues. This is something I'm really worried about, because of Mama and her dialysis adventures...
Why oh why do they do this to you? Tell you something cryptic like "the doctor wants to see you about your blood work" then make you wait FOUR FUCKING DAYS to tell you what the deal is!! Well, I'll know at 9 am Thursday morning I guess...
More later.
