How to ask for specific bloodwork?

[Alexus]

I already know I’m effected by HSV2, but I want to see my blood work & ig levels etc. but how can I ask for that while already being diagnosed?  Especially with doctors being hesitant of doing them. I’ve never seen my blood work.

Hi!

Great question. You can always request copies of your previous labs for your files (it is your blood after all, you have a right to see the levels!). You can call your doctor and ask or the lab where your blood work was done. 

 I hope this helps!

Blessings to you! 🙂

Hello, thank you for comment! The place I got my work done, was awhile ago (teen health connection), I’m no longer a teen anymore so I’m not sure if they will allow that? You think I should still give a call, or try with a new hospital? Thanks again!

Hi @Alexus!

Yes, I think that is still fine! Try giving them a call 🙂 

Kindly,
