What to ask for in routine blood tests?

Hi lovely peeps, I am having my annual blood test. I want to ask for magnesium levels and VitD3 level and coeliac screen.

Is there anything else anyone can think of that would be useful?

Many thanks and hugs to all x

Magnesium deficiency isn't something that can easily be shown in a blood test btw - by the time it shows up in blood tests, you're in real trouble, So your doc might say no point at all in that one.

Do you get thyroid, inflammatory and autoimmune markers checked? What to have done can depend on your specific symptoms
