I'll go in a week or two and get it sorted. From looking at what they're testing, it looks like they're checking for something called Parathyroidism.
I guess there's nothing I can do until I've bit the bullet and got the repeated blood test done.
Any tips on relaxing for blood tests? They can never get any blood out of me. Once a nurse bluntly refused and aborted it, because I was 'taking too long.' I was crying and ready for passing out and she was so rude and horrible with me just because she couldn't get any blood out of me. It's not my fault! :(
I drunk loads of water last time beforehand and that didn't help either. Only made me need a wee all the time. I've got awful veins and the blood comes out really slowly...I don't know why.
