Lab work ---NOT

Can someone please give me a list of what labwork I should be getting?

I am 4 yrs out this May and up unil now have had zero problems, now I am borderline anemic, elevated liver enzymes.

Calcium, B12 and Vit D 3.

I know there must be a lot more, what do I do if she won`t orfer the rest?    sShe has been my Dr. for over 15 years?
I am at a loss .

You should have your surgeon order your labs. they do a lot more than your reg DR.
When i get the paper - i check a bunch more boxes so they test for more - JUST IN CASE.
What ever you do - you do need to jump on this like NOW! Its totally vital that you snip this in the bud before you cause any long term damage by not acting. Ive read about & know too many people who have now have serious issued b/c they didnt see this coming/ put 2 & 2 together/ do anything about it thinking they'd get what they needed from the foods they ate.
So its for your own benefit that you call your surgeon now & have them order it for you.
Good luck & stay healthy!

Its really hitting home for me right now :)

Does your insurance pay for all these labs.  i had a long list of test (Vitalady's list) done last years.  I am on Medicare (because of my age)   I got a letter from Medicare telling me not to do that again.  They did not make me pay for them but said they would not pay for them in the future

Ruby some of these are paid 100% as long as I do them with my annual physical. The other I have to pay for if I haven't met my deductible yet.
