I need advice on contacting the doctor's office - [View all]

I had bloodwork drawn two weeks ago at the rheumotologist's to determine if I have an autoimmune disease and what severity, etc. This is followup on bloodwork done by my GP. They're doing 20 different tests. Now, the followup appointment isn't until the first week in June. I called yesterday to ask if I could get a copy of the results, but after wading through the phone tree could only leave a message on someone's machine.

The reason I called is that I'd like to know what's going on, how much is in my head and how much is real.

Is it reasonable to ask for a copy of the lab work before I see the doctor again?

Should I call back again if I don't hear back? If so, how soon?
