Great comment DD or as I always say - what might be normal for your doctor or his receptionist or the receptionist’s dog may not be normal for you 😉

Right! And the question then becomes, "Who is the spider and who is the fly?" (especially when you find yourself caught in the net of the medical system :D )

Hmmm! Good question.I think it just means that we are all different, with different needs....so we need to find our own individual "need".

Quite amazing what can be found on the web. :-)

"Normal" is just how they spin the results.

I dont think anyone has ever described me as normal! And even when your blood results are not normal, they ignore them.
