Re: consultation about iron tests

[Guest guest]

I just ordered my own full iron panel from econolabs.com ($23) and was surprised

at the low cost and ease of the transaction. Placed the order online (per Val's

rec), the lab sent me an email with the order form completed, went to my local

labcorp, they drew the blood and I was on my way. I expect to be emailed the

results early this week. I had no idea how easy that would be.

Need the mods advice here...
