NatChap it has taken me forever to try and work out how to tag you!! 😂

So how’s things with your daughter? Mine had a blood test on Tuesday and I just got a text message today to say she needs to book another blood test in 2mths time and also to book a phone consultation to discuss these current results. I’m a little excited that maybe they’ve found something, so that means treatment which hopefully means recovery.

They surely wouldn’t ask for another blood test if they weren’t going to monitor something?

I'd request a copy of the latest results then you can post it for comments before discussing with GP.

Would I be able to request a copy of my daughters results or would she have to do it being as she's 16?

She would have to write them a letter/email to say that she is happy for you to pick up her results or for example like I’m doing on Tuesday with the blood results. My daughter has emailed to say she is happy for me to talk to the Dr.

I’ll be the one getting the phonecall on Tuesday so I’ll write everything down. She already knows that I’m not happy with ‘normal’ I want numbers and ranges. I have been battling with this Dr’s surgery for a few years now about my own condition and treatment so they know of me (my family name is mud 😬)

That's great news (I hope!!), fingers crossed something has been picked up. I've got my daughter booked in for a test but I couldn't get a morning one until next Friday which is a pain as I'm feeling very impatient :-( I'll have to wait until after the weekend to get the results too so won't know anything for a while. I'm sure there will be at least something iron related due to her heavy and long periods but whether that would account for her anxiety or not I don't know. Keep me posted and I'll let you know when we've been too x
