I get labs every 6 months, too, sometimes more frequently. My GI doc has me on Entyvio infusions every 8 weeks, my hepatologist has me on Tacrolimus for my transplant, plus my pcp takes blood as well. Such is life….🙂
You have to roll with the punches. A year ago I developed some of what I see that you are dealing with, but fortunately for me not as serious. The #1 risk for acquiring a new autoimmune disease is to already have one. I’d just as soon pass on that honor.
