Dear Raelan,. what an excellent resource not only for us with MECFS, but also for everyone wondering about their health conditions. As I have said in the past, you are a great Ambassador for MECFS. Thank you for all your help and may God bless you always!!! Miss Monique 🙂🙏🌷💗
Thanks Raelan! I want to add to this, there are certain tests that are only available in certain states and not others as well, based on my experience.
This is a HUGE resource, thank you Raelan! I also have been extremely frustrated not to have agency and control over my body in the healthcare system. Jumping through all the hoops comes at great physical and emotional cost (feeling powerless) so I don't get my labs as often as I should even though I have some that need monitoring. I'm always looking for creative options and have found a few specific tests I can do from home but others still need Dr's requisition just for basic things. I didn't know a comprehensive service like this existed, so YAY! Side note, I struggled with home testing at first too with the lancet and getting enough drops and it felt complicated but after doing a couple of them it became much easier. I'm so glad they have instructional videos, it's easier for foggy brains than trying to understand big pages of directions 😀
As I’m in Australia this isn’t applicable to me, but I was wondering are the ranges they use on tests the same as a GP would use or an integrative Dr as they can be different particularly the range of vitamin D
@ Ann Pettersson I think a company called Werlabs do something similar in Sweden. I had my thyroid and cortisol levels tested through them some years ago.

Out of pocket? Or insurance?
