... and three weeks after my lab results were in, and calling the doctor's office once without any return calls, I finally picked up the lab report myself from the receptionist -- and asked for the doctor to call back. Next day, still no call back. The receptionists just say, "OK give me your number and I'll have him call you back." Then I sit by the phone for another week, drumming my fingers. (1) Are these "out of range" items on my lab report worthy of finding a different doctor and starting over? (2) Isn't three weeks after labs too long to wait without return phone calls, or am I being unreasonable? (I'm in the US and have excellent insurance.)
I am a female age 62, uveitis patient and currently feel awful (tired, fog-brained, irritable), cannot take off pudginess even with hi exercise and low calories for a YEAR, and depressed about the overweight and tiredness. RF and ANA labs are currently negative (RH was positive in the past). TSH is within range, other thyroid labs not run. Have had red splotchy skin as long as I can remember, eyebrows and body hair disappeared long ago.
