I would suggest that you get a copy of the lab reports for your own records and start keeping a book or file of this stuff for your own reference. My doctor suggested that to me some time ago and I've been thankful to be able to look back and see trends, etc. Even if you didn't get one right away from them you can ask them to make a copy of it and mail it to you or get one the next time you're in the office.
I really think we need to be our own advocate since not all doctors are informed or as concerned as we need them to be.
Take care,
