Hi tine - please could you get hold of your actual blood test results and post them on here together woth the ranges (figures in brackets - these need to come from your own report as they vary by lab). We have learnt not to accept "normal" as normal. Often there is scope for an increase, and this can mean the difference between feeling ill and well. Normal is not optimal xx
thank you will the surgery give them to me if i ask
Yes the surgery should give you a print out -it is your right. i just ask the recepetion staff at my practise and they print them out for me. Hmm your doc said your temp is up so how come they say it is nothing! It surely must be something! lol... Hugs x
