Re: Labs prior to Surgery, then some after

[Guest guest]

No history of it. Yeah I know from reading these boards now how

lousy the labs were that they drew. I didn't see what the surgery

doc ordered. I can however on this comming Tues ask my Holisitc doc

for a FULL panel and she will do it willingly.

I can't remember in all the hub-bub (on Tues this week) what my endo

ordered. I also had a Pituitary MRI with contrast and brain MRI

done. I know he was going to check my feritin, (iron) levels, and

my Growth hormone levels as well. He also ordered the metanephrine

(adrenaline) hormones to my 24 hour urine collection that I brought

back to him that day. He is checking my cortisol level with that

also. They are suppose to send my lab results over to My holistic

Doc, I will call on monday to make sure they do and that way she can

order the thyroid labs if needed.. I KNOW he only trusts one lab to

do the testing, and that is Extorix Labs out of California somewhere

so it can take up to a week to get the results back.

Thanks for your response and I knew those labs were nadda... GRrrr..

Oops. If you ask for a " panel " , you will get this useless tests of

total T4, TSH, uptake and etc. Ask for the FREE T3 and FREE T4.
