I just got the letter in the mail and thought I would share with you and see what my sisters/brothers think. This is the first labs I have had done since surgery on April 7.
  WBC-5.5
  RBC-4.19  LOW
 HGB-10.9 LOW
 HCT-32.9% LOW
 Sodium 140 mmol
 Potassium  3.9 mmol
 Glucose 69mg LOW
 Calcium  9.2 mg
Magnesium 2.1 mg
Phosphorus 3.2 mg
Iron  17 mcg  LOW
Tibc   437 mcg
Vit B12  529 pg
Ferritin  4.4 ng LOW
Tsh  .87 milliunit
Cholesterol  147 mg
Hdl 48 mg
Ldl  86 mg
Triglycerides 67 mg
Intact PTH  92.9 pg  HIGH
Hemoglobin  5.1%
Vit B1, Whole Blood ARUP   70
Vit D 25 Hydroxy ARUP  25 ng
Zinc   44mcg LOW
Folate RBC ARUP  395 ng

Recommendations: Indicators of your iron status are out of range. My Parathyroid hormone is high which indciates my bones are not getting enough calcium and vit d. My zinc level is low so they say I need to locate a  supplment for that.
 The scrpit they sent to me reads as follows:  Vit D 50,000 iu  2x per week po x 3 month supply.
 Does that mean a shot or pills? I get confused on all this.
 I can not eat nor drink, Milk, Cottage Cheese or Eggs. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly of help.

Thank You, Becky
