I've read on this site that our levels for vitamin D should be done by a specific lab.  How is it possible to get a test from this lab?  I had one test done at my regular physician's office.  It was low, and I've been supplementing.  Now that it's time to have it re-checked, this doc believes that to be unnecessary and won't order the test.  How can I find a doc who will order a test from labcorp - or is it possible to order one myself online?

Thanks.

I went to an endocrinologist who listened to me for an hour, and ran this blood test along with many others.  I had been quite ill for 15 years and he was what you might call a last ditch effort to feel better.  My husband had to drive me to the appointment, I was going to cancel because I had been to so many doctors and everyone of them said the test results were fine and nothing was wrong.  DON'T give up.  Get SOMEONE to listen.  I almost gave up and didn't go to ONE MORE appointment and could have missed the MIRACLE of my life. 

Good luck to you....keep trying !!!!!
