Help me for my next 'round' of blood tests, which will either be the end of August or September....I'll probably have a comp panel + a short cancer panel done, possibly a Comp. Metabolic Panel as well, IF one doc is sharp and anticipates what another will need [one can always hope, can't one?}...IF any blood tests ARE to be done, I am assuming I should stop calcium supplements for [osteo issues] and the B-12...well, UMMM how many days before the tests?
Should I maintain my basic multi-vite for the 'duration'?
When should I stop taking each of: Calciums and B-12....how many days before the tests?
Even if the metabolic #'s are with in 'normal ranges', how do I get a handle of what my true asorbtion rates are? Somehow I fear that it's all totally hit and miss for each of us...I suspect that the 'timing' of all this is important?
Mrs. D, Rose, Consider....specific inputs/guidances in this quarter would really be of a help.
Thanks in advance! and, of course: 's - j
