sue1234 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 Well, that's interesting, but I don't really know what to make of it. I would be curious as to what it means, also. I am STILL waiting to hear back on the majority of my labs that I had done almost a month ago, and very curious about my iron panel. Is that what that is that you had done, the iron panel?

derekliz Posted November 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 yes the iron panel and cbc, metabolic panel. It's strange. I have had strange iron levels before. My ferritin has gone up from 27 to 32 in about 3 months once I started back on my multi vitamin with iron. I have an appt with my neurologist (non pots expert) on Wed so I will ask her then post her comment.Wonder why your dr is taking so long to get you your results??? I nag my dr's ..heheheliz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue1234 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 I nag, too, but it seems the lab didn't send them. Then, when I called the lab, the finally sent them, but then the doctor's office said they didn't receive them. Talk about me **rolling eyes** last week! It's like nobody knows what they are doing! I called all parties back, and FINALLY the labs got there Thursday afternoon. And, still no word on the results. Ugghhh! I just emailed them to let them know that I will be waiting to hear the results and would like a copy. I am hoping that will get them to respond.
