General question for anyone.. Does your neuro do all the tests you feel need to be done to ensure everything is okay with your seizures or with the drugs you take? Are you satisfied with what he/she does for you?
Does your neuro routinely look at in depth thyroid (TSH, T4, T3) and liver tests, as well as bone density, and hormones, and anything else to keep an eye on side effects or how the AEDs are affecting your body?
Just wondered, because my guy is supposed to be good, but he doesn't do all that stuff and acts like he wouldn't know what to test for anyway, which I find strange for someone who prescribes these drugs.. I'd like to know if his approach is fairly standard or if other docs are more thorough.
