Blood test

[Sammie46]

So my blood tests are back already from tuesday and ive had an urgent referal for this weekend to see a consultant so i called the gps to see what my results were. The receptionist told me they were borderline but if it was borderline then i wouldnt have an urgent appointment would i ? I get the blood results tomorrow from the gps

The receptionists are not qualified to give you detailed results, over the phone or any other way. They will, normally, just pass on the final comment that has been made on your results sheet.

I have my results and they do not say borderline. My monocyte level is 0.94 and above range and my esr is 62mm/ h which says above range.

Is your surgery linked up to NHS online? You can view all your results.

Please post a link as to how

Check with your surgery first see if they use it, they will need identity proof( are you really you say you are😉) then you sign into NHS online. My surgery only started using this about 4 months ago. As well as test results you can order any repeat prescriptions and book appointments.(no more hanging on the line for 20mins or more)

It doesnt matter as i have a hard copy in front of me

[Sammie46 in reply to Sammie46]

I do all my appointments and repeat prescriptions with my doctors online account, been using it since i moved and registered with them.

Ive just got back from the hospital and the consultant tried to pull off what she said was fluid. She got about 3ml thats not enough to get tested but shes not sure i Ra so had some more bloods done today. She thinks the lining of my knee is inflamed but not sure why. Hopefully these other bloods will give us some answers

It’s never straight forward 🤷‍♀️

It feels like your going round in circles
