I want a home test for how much iron, potassium, thyroid levels etc. I have and want to know how much I need to be better.
I went thru 6 doctors before one did a blood test that asked for iron levels. He told me I just needed more iron and D3. I now take the iron pills and 10,000IU of D3. Big difference it made for me. If we had home tests think about all the people this would help. I need a tricoder.
The others did blood tests but they have to ask that a particular test be done.
Try having to come off the Synthyroid for 2 weeks for a test. PAIN deluxe. Never use a GP or Internist for an Endocrine issue. They can’t read the lab reports well.
Our local hospital lab offers a whole menu of tests you can order yourself. They are at a reduced rate because you can’t use insurance (which requires a physician order) and it is up to you to give them to your doc.
You might want to check and see if the same service is offered locally.
