Thanks ladies! I'm back (28 tubes later), I had to stop at my doctors office for another script and they took for even more testing. I'm exhausted to say the least but now I have to wait 2-3 weeks for the results

Thanks Megan I guess they have to send it away because they don't do all those tests at this hospital.

Thanks ladies!
Missy- The lady doing my blood work was shocked as well. I just felt exhausted but not light headed at all. I drank alot of water before I went in and also ate a full meal

Katie - I totally missed you were getting blood work done! I truly hope you find some answers and get your sticky bean very, very soon!
I am so surprised you haven't had it done before now. I know for me, getting the results was scary, but it was also a huge relief to have an answer and a plan of action.
Now I will be stalking you until you get the results.
Kat.
