Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Elyse Are you getting your RT3 test done at a lab in Canada? The reason I ask is because when my husband and myself had ours tested over a year ago we had a really hard time with the lab. We went to a Gov't lab and a private Lab, LifeLabs formerly MDS labs. A friend of mine tried to get her RT3 tested in London, Ont. hospital last month and was told they no longer do the RT3 (covered by OHIP). She had to call the Ministry of Health to find out the reason why and was told there is a problem with the supplier. Whatever that means. Another friend of mine just last week went to Sarnia, Ont. hospital for RT3 test and had to pay $55.00 and was told the fee was because they sent RT3 out to a private lab. There doesn't seem to be a consistant rule for Rt3 testing in Canada. I paid $10.00 for RT3 testing 1 year ago. Jill > > I'm very sure I have RT3 problems, will be getting it tested.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I don't have the requisition yet. I see a doctor this afternoon and will ask him, hopefully he will be helpful with this and will also know where I can get it done. I hope it won't be difficult because I really want to get going with it. Is aldosterone difficult to get tested as well? Elyse > Elyse > > Are you getting your RT3 test done at a lab in Canada?

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 I had asked my Dr several times to test my aldosterone and renin and he said he wouldn't because the tests are skewed. He didn't explain any further what he meant by that. I added Aldosterone and Renin to my last lab slip myself and didn't have a problem getting the test done. When I went back to the Dr's for the results he just chuckled and said he didn't have a clue what he was suppose to do with them and handed over the results to me. I then posted them here for Val's opinion. Val, where would I be without you? I don't wanna know, lol. Jill > >> > >> I'm very sure I have RT3 problems, will be getting it tested.

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2009 Report Share Posted March 19, 2009 Typical! That's why they say " the tests are skewed " , " the tests are inaccurate " blah blah blah blah. How stupid are these people, really? That they made it through medical school is a pure miracle. They always have some excuse for not doing a test, other than their lack of knowledge. I wonder if they've ever heard of opening a book or dare I say it.....go to the internet, to learn something new. Good for you, adding it to your slip.
