[QUOTE="Winnie53, post: 1376326, member: 160246"] [USER=202664]@henryshenrys[/USER] if it were my friend, I'd ask to see the lab report so I'd know exactly what he's referring to. Once I have access to the report, I'll know 1) name of the test, 2) the result, and 3) what the normal range is for that specific lab test. Then I can begin to research online the lab test result and drugs he's taking to see if there's a relationship. In the USA, if you know exactly what medications he's taking with correct spellings, pharmacists sometimes can tell you if any of the medications or possibly combinations of the medications could be contributing to the problem. That is if there is the problem. The doctor may be right or wrong. Never hurts to do your own research. I find that by doing this, I'm then able to go back to the doctor with more informed questions. You're a good friend. :) [/QUOTE]
