I am afraid I can't read any of it, and in any case you really need to sit down with the nurse registrar, or trusted consultant or GP to go through presumably your blood tests for Hughes Syndrome/APS, INR, Thyroid, D,B12 and iron, presuming that this is what was done, and anything else they ordered. They can tell you what is or is not within range! Each lab will have a range for each test and anything to high or low will be marked. Phone up and ask to see somebody about it, as not being medical people, although we can guide you in the right direction, who ever ordered all these tests needs to sit with you for a few minutes and guide you through it. Best of luck. MaryF

Hi Lesley,

Welcome home after your trip to Egypt! Well done indeed.

I agree with Mary. If you have a Specialist who understands your symptoms and know you very well, you may leave the bloodsamples to him and feel certain that he will act if something is not ok. But keep them at home. Ask them to talk with eachother about your coagulation. If they know APS they know that is important.

Good luck next week!
