phoned doc's this morning, and all the blood tests they did came back normal


so still have no idea whats up.

booked an appoint for monday to see doc again, to get colestreal (spelling) check, as my dad died of heart issues.

and gonna have a diabeties test done too

both my choice, just for peace of mind.


well let you know the results

 

Good luck dude!

 

How the hell could they be classed as normal on you?

On the plus side m8 at least you know the major things are ok I'm still waiting for some test results and thats been almost 3 weeks It can be a worrying time. You'll find stress relates to a lot of things as well ...

 

came back normal eh? you sure they didnt get the samples mixed up dude


Glad to hear its all ok so far though fella!

 

glad to hear mate

 

Good to hear.

 

cheers guys.

yeah normall, weird init

 

true james but let us know ill ya

 

surely if you had a blood test then they would have tested for diabetas in that blood test.
hope all is well mate
good luck

 

yeah right!!!!
in my opinion get a private healthcare scheme and you will get things done much quicker !!!!

diabeties was not tested i'm going back for that, as this was asked by me.

 

I thought they checked for diabeties when they do a blood test as standard? I have a blood test done every year at the hospital & they check for diabetes because my dad's diabetic. Hope you get yourself sorted soon mate

 

I hope you get sorted pal still, good nothig came up on the blood test

AJ the test you every year cos your a dirty pimp who tests out all his dirtiest ho's before they go on the street

 

If they aint no good they aint workin for me!

 

Good luck Spiky hope there's nothing serious

 

they test for whatever the doctor asks for... nothing is standard

there are some tests that are common (ie full blood count, urea, creatanine, electrolytes) and are asked for 90% of the time... but even they wont get done unless the doc asks for them.

also any acredited lab will process every sample SAME DAY for 95% of the tests... most have to do it within a few hours of the sample arriving (as some of the results can be wrong if the same is more thana fe hours old) the reason why it seems to take forever is that it takes ages for GPs to bother to get the results, most just wait for em to turn up in the post, then wait a few days before openieng em n looking at them, then a few more days for them to bother to ring you.

 

you really are a fountain of knowledge aint ya Jim

swallow an encyclopeadia or summat?

 

na, used to work in biochemistry and haematology and i was the one doing the bloody tests...

i was 16 years old, still in 6th form, and they've got me running urgent blood samples for A&E on the ectochem (big machine that does bloodtests)

thats the NHS for you

 

Is that like the Israelytes in the time of jesus but only more LIVEly?

 

lmao

 

just to eb a complete geek i've prepared an essay (ie i googled then copied and pasted )

The tests for blood electrolytes measure certain essential elements and chemical substances that are required for basic body functions. Typically the test measures the levels of sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate in the body. In addition, certain other related substances in the blood are often measured along with the electrolytes, such as blood urea nitrogen (BUN), creatinine, and glucose. Sometimes this entire group of tests is referred to as blood chemistries, electrolytes, or just lytes. Taken all together, these substances determine how the liquid parts of the blood behave as a chemical solution.



ps look here its quite a good read on bloodtests:

Its always best to get things checked out,better safe than sorry as they say.

Hope all goes well and they find the problem
