HV,
Would you please look over this blood test result i just got ? And see if anything jumps out at you ? I value your opinion.

The Reason :
Well i thought i was on to something.
My doctor had me do a Hair test, i which case it came back my Calcium about 5 times higher than what it should be.
I don't like hair analysis at all. Way too inaccurate.
Plus i have a small lump in my neck, cat scanned, andf the doctor ENT told me it wasnt cancerous, its fat.
Sounds like a lipoma, which is a benign fatty tumor.
So i was thinking AHA !!, parathyroid, explains all my symptoms.
So my doctor, sent my blood off for calcium to be checked, as well as PTH to be checked.
I was so anticipating to find something out and maybe be healed.
And Wouldnt you know it, the F*&% hair testing lab was wrong.
Calcium - 9.0mg referecne range 8.6 to 10.5
PTH intact - 19 pg/ml reference range 14-72
Calcium for PTH interp - 9.2 reference range 8.6 - 10.5
Everything looks normal to me. Except LDL a little high. I was maybe thinking my T4 is a tad high and TSH a tad low.
These are well enough in range, and not indicating anything abnormal with the thyroid. But lab tests for thyroid tend to be highly inaccurate, so you would be better off doing your basal body temperature each morning for at least a week to get an average. This is a much better indicator of thyroid function.
Any ideas ? Im grabbing at straws here in know, but after 5 years of being sick, and noone can find anything wrong, it gets a bit old.
The labs in your case are not telling me much of anything. Symptoms would provide a lot more information.
Speaking of labs, for safety you really should black out all personal information on these before posting them on the web.
Your LDL is a little high, but this does not mean much. Even the stress of having blood drawn can raise cholesterol levels, which is why it needs to be checked multiple times to determine if it is a chronic issue.
Thanks for your time in advance.
