Good Morning. Found My Lab's Updated Tests Web Site

I'm late 'cause I've been reading my lab's web site: http://www.questdiagnostics.com/hcp/testmenu/jsp/showTestMen u.jsp?fn=A.html&labCode=AMD

Great info. I think you can look up all your tests and see the ranges and all kinds of good info about the tests and what they mean, etc.

Vitamin D, for example, has a new range of 20 - 100 and I'm doing everything I can to raise their range to 150. Speaking of vitamin D tests, Vitalady's web site has a home test kit you can buy if you're really working on your vitamin D3 and want to see how you're doing. It's at the bottom of the vitamin D page on her site. You take the blood at home and send it off to a lab and get the results returned to you. No medical script required. I'm going to order it because my son has been taking dry D3 for 2+ years and I want to see where he's at.

Y'all have a great Saturday and do some homework towards your good health.

Lab order didn't come yesterday, again.  Supposedly she faxed it to the office also so I can get my 6 months drawn on Monday morning even if it doesn't come today.  Seems so easy to just get it here on time but maybe not.

That site looks amazing and I get lost just looking at all the possibilities. 

Suppose to rain here all weekend so I will be stuck at home catching up on paperwork.  Carriage Club meeting tonight.

I hope they did fax it to the lab. If they're open when you get to the lab, the lab should be able to call and get it fax'd to them...a very inefficient way of doing business to be sure. Good luck on Monday.

Gina, thanks for the link.  I will definitely check it out.  I posted my lab results last night, and got some great advice from Vitalady and Poet Kelly.  It looks like my PCP's definition of normal and our definition are not the same. 

I am off to get my nails done, take my mom to the doctor, do errands, and pack for Seattle tomorrow.  Busy day!  I gotta figure out a way to add exercise to the mix

Enjoy your Saturday.
