Went to the doctor today. I have to fast from midnight to have a blood test tomorrow morning.
And this is what they will be looking for :
FBE&ESR; U,E&Creat; LFT; TSH (T3 & T4 if indicated); Fasting Cholesterol, Trigs, LDL’s & HDL’s; Fasting Sugar
More news on Wednesday.
Ah, the good old FBE/ESR!!
I remember them well.
Close your eyes and don’t look!
Oohh… They’re testing you for everything! I had all that done a while back. Turned me into a right pin cushion, they did. Good luck!
good luck tony. having been stuck (literally) with a lot of blood tests lately, i can say that at least you get over any fear of needles you may have!
I had these done recently and was amazed to find out I had high LDLs! I’ve lost 20k in the last couple of years (and kept it off) mostly by changing to a mostly vegan diet. I thought that would assure me a low cholestrol future but apparently not! Sneaky little LDLs… must be hiding in my carrots or something… good luck mate!
