[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 652373, member: 1963"] CB. Also, believe me, they DO call if there's something "off" in blood tests. I've had the joy of having a few blood tests come up bad in the past few years and have gotten calls from docs as late as 8:30 in the evening. When I got the news that the Hashimoto's Thyroiditis had finally done my thyroid in (antibody and hormone tests were off the scale) my doctor had already made the appointment for me with an endocrinologist when she called) When my A1C showed that I was diabetic, I had a phone call the same day and appointment two days later. When x-rays showed that the painful, very swollen ankle I'd been walking around on for two weeks (stupid me) was broken, I had an appointment with an ortho the next day. My doctor's office made the appointment. If the tests are normal, it is common practice for many clinics/groups, to notify you by mail instead of calling, so no news is good news. The numbness in your hands and feet could be so many things, most of them easily treatable, that I wouldn't even worry at this point. Wait and see what the tests show, talk to your doctor about them, and deal with things, and please see a therapist. [/QUOTE]
