alexjuice Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 This month the direct to consumer special at directlabs is for the Comprehensive Wellness Profile which typically costs $97 and is available for $59 for the rest of 2013. If you ever wanted to take control of your own health, find out your thyroid, cholesterol, mineral and blood count numbers quickly and inexpensively, check out this deal: https://directlabs.com/MostPopularTests/CWP/tabid/192/language/en-US/Default.aspx I am going to have my own testing done and I am going to followup in six months. Testing like this would be "$300+" plus if ordered by a doctor, easily. Perhaps you wouldn't have to pay this but you would need to pay for at least two doctor appointments with either your money, time or both. By ordering the test yourself you can easily see if any of the lab values are out of range because they are flagged on the report. You can further evaluate 'normal' values by checking with a functional value key such as this: http://www.optimalwellness.net/functional-medicine-2.html I do encourage everyone to take responsibility for the health! Cheers!

lexicon Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Thank you for sharing that Alex .. So how do you find out the results ? Wishing you wellness always. Love, Lexi Hello, I am tapering Lorazepam, and my daily dose is 1.125 mgs. I followed a long hold for 5 months, ( Nov-March 2019) hoping to find some stability, but it did not work. So I resumed my taper and hold pattern. For the last 3 years, I have been using a daily microtaper, cutting .001mgs per day, with holds as needed. Symptoms are head pressure, labored breathing, palpitations, abrupt surges of dizziness, this being my worst symptom for now, internal tremors, my latest nemesis, unsteadiness, anxiety, plus many other symptoms that cycle in, and cycle out consistently. Not a day passes, without grief I take no other meds. January 2013 - 15 day quick taper off 10 mgs of Lexapro, and 25 mgs of Sertraline, at a detox clinic.

alexjuice Posted December 4, 2013 Author Share Posted December 4, 2013 I take the requisition to LabCorp for a blood draw. The next day I get an email from directlabs telling me the results are in and I log into to directlabs website and view them! I am going for a blood draw myself, probably tomorrow. I have been getting my own bloodwork -- last time in May -- but I haven't gone yet because I had two sticks last month from Dr Smiley and I don't like getting more than one needle stick in each arm in any given month. One doesn't want to get stuck with needles more often than need be!

compsports Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Just placed an order as I am going to see if there is anything else going on that is preventing me from possibly staying asleep on the pap machine. And even if ther isn't an issue, at least I will be aware of potential health problems. Thank you so much Alex for sharing this information. CS PS - I just got the requisition for the order. Wow, I am impressed with the excellent service.
