| Might be a good thing to bring up, just to be sure that's the goal |

| Athena - yeah that's definitely a problem. I've fired a number of doctors because I just didn't feel like we had the kind of relationship that built comfort and trust. And I do agree on the story of the low thyroid stuff. I have a number of friends with (formerly) unspecified chronic fatigue who have had to go through the winger to figure out what's wrong |

| keep in mind that blood tests are only a snapshot and blood levels can fluctuate during the course of the day |

| From some research, it seems B12 deficiency can cause low iron, so they might be trying to see if they can get two birds with one stone |
| Sunset River Arabian |
| I think I'm just a little worried she doesnt care or is ignoring an actual problem. I've yet to find a doctor who even listens to me during a visit without rushing me or making me feel small and dumb. |
| Silver Melody Acres |
| It's never a bad thing to discuss it more, or even get a second opinion. The thyroid stuff being on the low end is something to keep in mind. You can always start with the B12 and try to increase iron-rich foods in your diet, iron supplements are kind of iffy unless it's on doctor's orders |
| Sunset River Arabian |
| The iron ones are literally labeled with red flags and the other 2 are normal but low. I'd be confused why shes addressing that one first |

| Deadwood, they are like Pokemon, gotta collect 'em all lol. But they don't do anything, just a fun thing |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| Deadwood - just for fun but you get a little extra money as reward |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| She may also just want to see how changing one variable (B12) effects everything or comparing it against previous testing results to see if it's just your normal |
| deadwood dressage |
| Do showing titles do anything or are they just kinda fun little things |
| Silver Melody Acres |
| "Go exploring and have a horse earn elite bravery" Rude. I'm almost done testing my braves |
| Gaelic Gladiacres |
| Athena - absolutely I would push to be sure. Potentially get a second opinion. I can't count the number of times I've felt something wasn't right and eventually was vindicated. I don't think she's necessarily ignoring that they're low, but doctors are under so much stress and time constraints that if something is still in normal ranges they can decide it's not alarming enough to go deeper, or they'll miss things, or just don't have some knowledge that another doctor might have |
| Sunset River Arabian |
| I could use some opinions I had blood tests done. 2 iron related ones were too high, 1 was 2 low, B-12 was low and a thyroid one is normal but really low. My doctor is only addressing the B12 saying everything else looks fine. Should I push for her to address those other ones? Should I just accept my doctors expertise instead of looking for problems? Do you think she's purposely ignoring them? The whole point of running the test was to figure out whats causing my chronic fatigue and all of those ones have that as a symptom among other ones that I also experience daily. |
