Help deciphering lab results
I had my 6 month labs drawn in March and posted the results here. Several of you said there were tests missing so I went back and asked for more. I just got around to having them drawn and just got my results. I'm questioning a couple of the results and will probably be calling the office next week. I wanted to see if the "gurus" could take a look and give me their thoughts.

Not a guru but a few things stand out to me.
Your Ferritin has been tanking. You need to increase your iron.
Your B12 is going down a bit, too. I would up that. I like mine to be over 1000.
Your D is great. Keep it up.
Nothing else stands out to me except there are some I don't see such as vitamin A. Hopefully someone who knows more then me with chime in soon.
