Thanks Laurie, I really appreciate all the help and advice you all give. I now have print outs of all my test and I will also make a list in red of tests I should have like you suggest. At the moment it is 2 weekly blood tests but if I feel symptoms returning then I have to go back sooner...so its pretty much up to me...it does worry me alot....but I was relieved that I had spotted it this last time.

Iron 6 (9-30)finally my iron is showing as deficient...I asked if I should be taking iron and she said my iron studies were ok so not to worry...but I dont care anymore I am going to start the iron because I just feel so ill!Your DOc is an idiot!!! At least on this point. Iron deficient, CBC confirms Iron Anaemia too!! Ferritin is Low too. So yes please do supp Iron. Take more than once a day, with at least 500mg Vit C to increase absorption. AT least 4 hours away from Calcium supps & foods, coffee & tea (all block absorption). Ferrasorb (Thorne Research) is an excellent quality product with good bioavailability. It needs to be ordered by fax (available through Health Practitioners some Docs, Naturapaths, Health Shops).
