I can only talk about what my doctor does, I realize not everyone is as lucky as me to have such a great PCP.

In my experiences both with my doctor and the blood work I had done at my school last year, I have always been told if something falls on the high or low level of normal.

The person I responded to didn't say if they were in the high/low level of anything. Now, it could be her doctor doesn't do what my doctor does when giving the test results or that my school did.

I'm not a doctor. There are other things that it could be causing her problems. Which is why I said she should have them checked out and talk to her doctor. But I have seen many people watch/read/hear about some odd illness and swear that they have it and go to their doctor and when they are told they are fine, keep looking for a doctor until they get told they have something. I'm not saying that is the case, but rule out everything first.
