you know, i thought i had a few extra dollars this month, but at some point i decided that 203-30 = 273, and in the process overbudgeted by $100. oops.

so, my plan to get things done today has been foiled - i needed around $75, thought i had $115, and only have $15.

i have $60 coming in on the 10th, and quite a few more coming in some time soonish.

i just want to write this down because it's getting convoluted.

so, i got access to all of my old tests done through lifelabs and...

-vitamin a is 3.2 which is highish. great.

my colon is just fine, guys.

these tests were skipped, for now:

- vitamin e

- vitamin k

- selenium

- molybdenum

- manganese

these tests are pending at lifelabs:

- vitamin c

- asca

- mercury

these tests need to be done at dynacare because only they offer them, although i'd rather they were done at lifelabs because they have a free reporting system:

- glutathione

- pyruvate

- serum iodine

- balp  (not yet ordered)

i can also do these tests tonight while i'm at dynacare:

- gastrin

- copper serum

this test requires a 12 hour fast:

- amino acid fractionation 

this test is covered by ohip but is not offered anywhere in the region:

- serum oxalate

this test is only available in a california lab:

-hepcidin

these tests are yet to be requested, but are covered:

- pth  

- calcitonin

- cortisol

i will need to pay for these tests out of pocket next weekish:

- celiac ($90 at dynacare)

- cea  ($36 at lifelabs)

- p-anca  + c-anca ($70 at lifelabs)

- psa: ($35 at lifelabs )

- another fit test ($59 at dynacare only)

- osteocalcin  ($65 at lifelabs)  <----double check, info from med labs

- igf-1 ($70 at dynacare) <-----double check, info from med labs
