Hello loose rivets. Thanks for your thread. I'm not sure what you mean about managing your own blood checks while in Texas because of the cost.
What you are asking here is for members to comment on blood test results. Whilst general comments on any medical issue are welcome, its a fine line between general discussion and requesting a clinical opinion of test results.
There is of course, very qualified medical professionals and others with personal experience that may well chose to assist you. However, the Site requests opinions specific to TEST RESULTS be discussed off site and privately via your email addy.
Nevertheless, an important medical topic for general discussion.
Thank you
Medical Moderators.
