F :-) ******************************************************************* Michel, I have a suggestion about the frequency of blood testing for elevated liver enzymes. Why not replace the BI-WEEEKLY blood tests for Barbara with once every few months? My blood enzymes are LOWER than average on Tasmar. If Barbara's are not elevated, then surely the blood testing, as most physicians know, can be spaced out. Some patients are now told to have the blood tests done as infrequently as once every six months to a year. Michel, why not ask Dr. Sigmund if the frequency of wht you call "blood-letting" can be reduced, ESPECIALLY if the loss of blood has reprecussions that almost sound dangerous to us!! I have been using Tasmar for 2 years, and am just now titrating up to 300 mg/24 hr. day from 250 mg/24 hr. day/ My neurologist signed a physician's release which opted out of blood testing every six weeks, long ago. Take care and bless you both, and Feeling rather willful..forgive me if I am sounding bold-I'm just angry that your dear wife is being bloodtested so OFTEN!! Ivan :-) 50/39/36
