Unlike the state school in Reno, we don't cost the taxpayers a dime. :)

How much is the annual tuition? Have you considered the Health Profession Scholarship Program offered from the Army, Air Force or Navy?

Well he's had several blood tests the past year or so, although I can't recall if that particular test has been ordered. But given his liver, kidney, a cardio problems; I'd be surprised if it wasn't.

Still, thanks for the reminder, I'll make sure to have them specify that on the next work up.

I'd call tomorrow to make sure it was done. If it wasn't, he needs to get it done stat. It's called both creatine kinase(CK) and creatine phosphokinase(CPK). Injured muscle releases the enzyme into the blood. When too much of it gets into kidneys, it's bad news.

I get the 500 Mg tablets from Walgreen.
At first I experienced some 'flushing'.
After continual use that subsides.
I'm not sure how my liver is doing,
but my cholesterol is lower! ha ha
