Blood work _ the Bare Essentials

[Guest guest]

Dear JSchopp,

I am alarmed to hear that your doctor only does bloodwork every three months.

Standard practicein the US is once a month - at the most six weeks. Your

liver and kidney function and complete blood count are essential. Demand this

for your peace of mind.

Everyone is different with the Sed Rate.

It is a nonspecific indicator of inflammation in the body. In otherwords, it

can be elevated for any number of reasons like : recent surgery, an infection,

an auto immune disease, etc... In combination with the newer CRP (C Reactive

Protein) which is much more sensitive, my doctor corroborates my telling him

I am in agony -- it never fails for me -- when I am in agony -- it correlates

100%. In other people it does not. It is very individual.

Ask your doctor to do the Sed Rate and

CRP every month with the other labs=you are getting jabbed anyways!
