Blood tests- help

[Guest guest]

Hi does anyone get blood tests through their dr and if so what do you

tell them? We need a CBC (complete blood count) and CMP ( metabolic

profile) done every 3 months. A year ago we had these done at the RSCH

in Brighton and they charged us £17. We had them done yesterday and

they charged us £154! Apparently they have reviewed there prices - not

half!

Any advice would be very welcome

Thanks

Hi Peta,

Our doc said she'd do them for me. She was quite willing to draw the

bloods, and then give them to me to send or take to the labs. I'm

currently under Heard, so they were happy to send me the kits from

Breakspear to do this.

I know a couple of people who's GP's are fine. Does your doc know you

are doing biomed/chelating - if they're fine with that they're normally

OK with taking bloods. So, I'm not much help sorry; but just to let you

know there are some out there that will.

I ended up taking Callum down to the lab for the draws (it was easier

than getting the bloods done and then sending off, and it also was a lot

fresher that way!).

Good luck!

Elaine

Hi Elaine

Our dr does know we are chelating but he has said he doesn't want to

know. Basically my paed is also the child protection officer for

this area and she thinks that chelating/ B12 is a child protection

issue ie social services. So because it is not mainstream my dr

isn't telling my paed ( I lied to her) but he does not want to be

involved in case he gets into trouble. I obviously need a new dr but

I don't know anyone here who is doing the biomed stuff so I don't

know of any dr's willing to listen. Last time I saw my dr he said he

could no longer prescribe emla cream and I came out of the app

feeling grateful that I wasn't being reported to SS!

My paed won't listen at all so I told her there was no point in

seeing her because she didn't want to help us at all.

I couldn't face a battle with SS as well ( a friend of mine went

through it - it is awful)

Sorry I'm going on - am living in a bad area. I try to avoid paed's

and dr's here but unfortunately I sometimes need them. It's like

trying to argue with the CDC!

I think the majority of dr's in this country are as responsible for

the autism epidemic because they won't listen to parents - it's not

their problem and they don't give a damn. What a sad world we live

in!

Rant rant!

Peta,

Sorry to hear this - which DAN are you under?

You could move to Cambridgeshire - seems to be some understanding GP's

out here, who do actually have a set - iykwim;-)

Hi Elaine we are with Bradstreets clinic and it seems silly to pay

for another DAN dr over here as well.

I just still find it shocking that so many dr's are really not

interested in helping our kids.

Anyway I'm sure I'll sort something- I was trying to think of some

believable lies to get the blood tests done.

Thanks
