lab question - Copper
So I just got home from my 6 week surgeon appointment and most of my labs are quite normal but one that had her stumped is my Copper Serum level (225 - high). She said that there are some diseases that will show a high Copper level and unfortunately this never had been tested on me pre-op. The surgeon's going to talk with the NUT about what possible causes/issues this could be, but I pose this question to the Forum - anyone have high copper? any issues because of this? Any facts, (especially from Kelly???), would be appreciated!!

I appreciate being asked but I don't know much (or anything, really) about high copper. I give your doc points for checking your copper - many docs don't unless we ask them to, and we definitely should be getting it checked.
We should ESPECIALLY be watching it if we take a multi without any copper, like Opurity.
Let us know what you find out.
