Thanks everyone and to answer your question M, I do not have anyone assisting me. I asked my GP to monitor my condition and request lab work, he said he was not comfortable doing that and that he was not qualified. We had a discussion about the cost differences between the generic meds and big Pharmas. He pretty much agreed that it was criminal but had nothing else to offer. He recommended I talk to a specialist at one of the Gastro clinics here in the Denver area, which I never did thinking that it would be a total waste of time. If anyone is influenced by big Pharma it would be these clinics. I have thought about reaching out to the Gastro clinic at the University of Colorado/Anshutz campus in hopes they would be interested in the results. If I succeed with that it will save me a few dollars on the blood work. I got my blood work done through Walkinlabs who is affiliated with Labcorp Took two business days to get the results back and I paid $206 for the quantitative test. No prescription required and it is done online.

Until the next time
