When i get the paper - i check a bunch more boxes so they test for more - JUST IN CASE. What ever you do - you do need to jump on this like NOW! Its totally vital that you snip this in the bud before you cause any long term damage by not acting. Ive read about & know too many people who have now have serious issued b/c they didnt see this coming/ put 2 & 2 together/ do anything about it thinking they'd get what they needed from the foods they ate. So its for your own benefit that you call your surgeon now & have them order it for you. Good luck & stay healthy! The Will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.   |

 Member Since: 07/04/05 [Latest Posts] | Post Date: 2/4/12 1:06 pm Does your insurance pay for all these labs. i had a long list of test (Vitalady's list) done last years. I am on Medicare (because of my age) I got a letter from Medicare telling me not to do that again. They did not make me pay for them but said they would not pay for them in the future Ruby rny 3/11/2005 262/122/138 hi/lo/today |
