Re: question - blood work ASAP please!

[Guest guest]

well - my son tried to get the bloodwork done yesterday around 10 am. they

refused to do it. They said AM cortisol meant between 8 and 9 AM ! not 10 AM -

well, we didn't get any sort of instructions like that - and my son isn't even

normally up at that hour, as he works later and normally doesn't even go to bed

until 4 am !!! so here is another form of 'normal' that doesn't fit the mold!!

now, today, the lab is closed. so - he has to go to bed sunday at 4 - and be up

to get bloodwork at 8. and then - he won't get the results back in time to see

the doctor while he still has insurance. He's 22 - but I feel like I should have

been there to explain that to him, 10:00 am was like 6 am to us!!

I wrote in the freeT3. The doctor promised that she was running it anyway. I

feel so guilty about it though. I should have taken it back to her office and

had her write it in. That - would ahve let her know that I knew that she didn't

order it, and maybe she would have been educated a little in the process! but,

we didn't have time - I didn't think!!

question - blood work ASAP please!

I have a script for blood work for my son. He's having it in the morning.

The dr. said she ordered FreeT3. I want to be sure it really is ordered.

this is what is checked:

T3, Total

t3 UPtake

T4,Free

T4 Total

TSH

there isn't a place on there to check mark Free T3.

if it isn't included in the t3uptake, I'll write in in on the bottom by the AM

Cortisol.

Thanks!
