ShatteredLife2 (a gulf war vet)
These are the blood tests I had done:
Drawing fee
CBC with Differential/platelet
Comp. Metabolic Panel (14)
Lipid Panel
Urinalysis routine
Total $182.00
I asked for the whole blood test and my doctor did it. He said my Bad
LDL cholesterol was high and my blood pressure was high also where I was
given the maximum prescription for high blood pressure. Maximum dosage
allowed... It was very high, so bad that they wouldn't tell me the
number! He said everything looked fine with those two exceptions, but it
has been 14 years since whatever I was exposed to... This could throw
some stuff off! Of course I was very messed up for those 14 years where
I didn't know my own name hardly but yet function at a very low
capacity. All I did on my job for 14 years is walk around all night for
my 8 hour shift every day. That is all I could really do being sick and
all. I did minimal type work (Light Duty) type work only. No
construction work like hard physical labor like I am use to doing! I
stay at home now and just veg out because it is all I can do now in my condition.
Note also, that I am not getting any SSA or VA help for my problems...
