Hi Sheila>> The nurse from the surgery read my blood test results to me over the > phone - I'm going to go and pick up a hard copy once the snow has cleared > (I live in Derbyshire!), so I didn't recognise the names of all the tests, > so I might have got some wrong. Anyway, my red cell folate was 323 (80 - > 400), APTT 31.33 (27-39), another one which might have been iron was 11.1 > (10.4 - 13.5), and INR (or was it iron ore?!) was 0.9. Vit B12 was 525 > (180 - 1000). Sorry, I couldn't always understand what the nurse was > saying and I didn't want to wear her patience out with asking her to > repeat it too many times. I will be getting a print out. Ah, I've just > found another result - Full Blood Count Haem 138 (115 - 165).> Does this give any clue to what's wrong with me? Did you see my thyroid > profile, Sheila? From what Nick said, I wondered if I should be trying > just T3, my FT4 was much higher than I expected on NDT. And when I see my > GP, I suspect he'll think my T3 is too high. What do I say?>> thanks>> Sue> > >> > ferritin is your stored iron - do you have the results of your iron > > blood> > tests to see if that is low.> >> > Luv - Sheila
