Hi Have you looked on Blue Horizon site, main site?. Do not go through a private hospital, finger prick or venous blood. All by post.

However If , as I suspect that is for cortisone,my good Endo says the only test any use is 24 hour urine collection with a cortisone tablet at midnight, script, and a blood test at 9 am. As you can see , this is not possible for DIY.

B.H do do all the NHS tests and many more, also some are better.

best wishes,

Jackie

That is dreadful. I expect GP out of their depths, as usual!

Have you found a good Endo to see?There are a few about, may be you need it all looking at.

Best wishes,

Jackie
