[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 212475, member: 1233"] you can ask the psychiatrist's receptionist or nurse, or even contact the lab directly for results. At least I have always been able to. They will have an abbreviation for the name of the test, then your level and then the normal range in parenthesis (at least every lab I have gotten results from shows it this way. Then they highlight or underline anything that is out of the normal range. Once you get a copy of his labs, take the time to make a graph for each test. Plot his levels over time (get copies of any old labwork they have done to give you more data) and you will see if the levels of things are rising, lowering or staying the same. With some things the levels can be within normal range but the trend of increase or decreasing levels can indicate things. (This is how my mother discovered a very serious liver disease that would have maybe killed her by now with-o treatment! and her levels were/are NEVER out of the normal range!) NOT saying anything will kill your son, but this MAY give you some answers that could help him. [/QUOTE]
