here are the lab orders for in the morning. Anyone want to guess what the doctor might think is going on?

She was careful not to say very much since my son was in the room at the time. Kinda left us trying to read between the lines. :/

That's rather a strange question, but she's testing for thyroid function, and for antibodies, to see if he has autoimmune thyroiditis - Hashi's.

She's also testing for cortisol, to see how his adrenals are functioning. The other two tests, I don't recognise. :)

Don't know whether I've got this right but it looks as though this is a retest to do with the last results? If this is the case can you post them? I was just wondering that as children have a different range she looked at the figures and not the ranges. A child should have higher readings as they are still needing to grow. Just a thought!

absolutely, i dont have the results from this one yet, but as soon as I do I'll post them. The ones from the previous test are in a separate post because I could only attach one picture per post.

Not what you're looking for?
