Re: my lab results came in---JULIE

, yes, I ran across that test somewhere else, looking at something

else. Anyway, I'm not familiar with it on my lab tests, so I really don't

know what that is. As far as your ferritin, it looks like your doctor does

not like the ranges that that particular lab uses. I know that the lab I

use has a much higher low end of normal for the rock bottom normal, I'm

thinking around 30 or so? Anyway, mine is a 63, in the same type of

mathematics, so you can kind of get an idea from that. He's right, my

opinion, and is adjusting it by his own opinion of what is normal for that,

I bet. Does that MPV have something to do with your white blood cells? How

do you feel with your T3 readings? Or do you feel like it needs to come up.

All these people are saying that they seem to feel best when the Free T3 is

at the very upper range of " normal " or even over the top. What do you think

about it?

I think you should be a doctor. ;-) I think your right. I think I'm doing

better taking 3 iron tablets a day. As far as the t3, I think it could be a

little higher. I don't know how to go about that though. I have no idea what

the MPV has to do with. Thanks for sharing your opinion. I think it is

right on as usual.

, can someone take to much iron?? I want to take an iron

supplement to help with energy but am scared to. If you take to much

will it build up in your system and hurt you?? I have meant to

discuss this with my Dr. but forgot and don't go back for 2 more

months. *sigh*

Thanks.

The MPV is the Mean Platelet Volume -- a measure of the volume of a large number

of platelets. It's for judging the sizes of the platelets, not the total

platelets as you'd

get in the lab test for Platelet Count.

,

According to my book, Bernard-Soulier syndrome, May-Hegglin anomaly, valvular

heart disease or myeloproliferative disorder. Valvular heart disease speaks for

itself

but you'll have to google the other three things. Have never heard of the

syndrome

and anomaly listed above. These are the only things listed in my lab book.

Does this help at all?
