I WILL KEEP YOU ALL UPDATED AS TO WHAT I FIND OUT !!!!
Hi
Its my understanding that the same lab should always process you blood work because of variations. I have done several clinical trials and there is miles of paper work, weekly doctors visits and lots of lab. I don't think I would do anything my mail. I think they would have to draw you lab three times or more to have a baseline to work off off. I am not an expert by any means.
Good Luck
Okay I am stupid today I miss-read your information. Throw out the above information. Yes sending them blood results could be of benefit. Without trials we would get no where with pain relief.OK FOR THOSE THT HAVE READ THIS & MISINTERPUTED MY REASON FOR THE LINK.
I JUST THOUGHT FOR THOSE OF US THAT HAVE PROBLEMS IN GETTING DOCTORS TO SEE OUR PAIN IS REAL, FOR A OUT SIDE SOURCE TO POSSIBLY GIVE FEED BACK ON AN OVERLOOKED PART OF THE WHOLE PICTURE.
I AM NOT SAYING TO USE THIER READING OF ANY TESTS AS THE GOSPEL AND ARGUE WITH YOUR DOCTORS.
I BELIEVE THEY COLLECT DATA AND BASED UPON THAT DATA, DO THE FOLLOWING;

JUST THINK ABOUT IT FOR A MINUTE WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO BE ABLE TO USE ANY LAB AND GET THE SAME ANSWER, DID YOUO KNOW THAT LAB RESULTS NORMALS ARE BASED OFF OF PEOPLE THAT HAVE PROBLEMS IN THE FIRST PLACE AND HAVE THIER BLOOD DRAWN, THIS IS WHERE THEY GET THEIR NORMAL RANGES FROM.
YES I ALSO AGREE THAT YOU SHOULD USE THE SAME LAB TO GET AN AVERAGE FOR YOUR SELF, BUT HOW MANY OF US HAVE BEEN SENT HERE AND THERE BY VARIOUS DOCTORS.
SORRY IF I SOUND HARSH, I REALLY AM NOT TRYING TO BE TODAY, SINCE THE DOCTOR PUT ME ON PRED AND TOOK ALL PAIN MEDS AWAY, I HAD A HORRIBLE NIGHT, 2 HRS SLEEP, MAYBE I CAN NAPPPPPPPP LATER.
GOOD LUCK & I'LL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THEY RESPOND, IM JUST AS INTERESTED TO SEE IF THEY ARE TRUE TO THEIR STATEMENT AS YOU.
