Funny.....we also had to remind them about doing a chem panel. We actually monitored blood counts weekly for the first month, and then went monthly.

Also, be aware that when your FE is below 1000 when on Exjade, you have a higher risk of experiencing the vision/hearing side effects. John had his eyes and hearing checked before starting his chelation and then annually after that.
