Did they test your hormone levels before putting you on that medication? They are making me get a blood test, and will only prescribe it if the hormones are off.

I know that makes sense, but I am irrationally annoyed because I wanted to start it.

I had to do blood work first but I had the results the next day and they preemptively called in the prescription. I know they had to check potassium levels because the medication can increase that in soeme people.

Did they not do bloodwork during the appointment? That's irritating.

Oh, and I'm taking a picture of my face every week so I can track my progress. In a couple weeks I'll post so you can see!

I have to go get the bloodwork done at Quest. So who knows how long that will take. I'm annoyed. If she won't prescribe it I will go elsewhere. I don't love her and I know it can have very positive results!

I went to a standalone derm office and they did it in the office. I'd try somewhere else, but mostly because that quest place freaks me out.
