When Test Results Are Scary
Have you had a frightening result in a test report? A friend of mine, Sam, had one recently. He had his one-year-old Lipid Panel, so I told him to run it through MedeXplainer Pro to see what it really said. In it, one result stood out. The report he had was a year old, and he didn't understand it at all until he ran it through our MedeXplainer Pro app. He hadn't taken it seriously. Now, he did. Here's the result in the original: "Triglycerides ... - Result: 430 mg/dL ..., - Normal Range: <=150 mg/dL" That one little item. Of course, he said he had scanned over it and he felt okay, so he didn't worry about it. Then (now, a year later), he ran it through MedeXplainr Pro. Here's the explanation (MedeXplainr Pro text in quotes): TRIGLYCERIDES "(a type of fat found in your blood; high levels can increase risk of heart disease and stroke." Normal Range: "less than or equal to 150 milligrams/deciliter" Your Result: "430 mg/dl" "Your result of 430 is significantly elevated (more than double the normal range, which puts you at high risk for heart problems and pancreatitis -- a serious inflammation of the pancreas)" "Comments: The NCEP Adult Treatment Panel III (National Cholesterol Education Program guidelines -- expert recommendations for cholesterol management) suggests that a fasting triglyceride level of less than 150 mg/dl is Normal, and 150–199 is Borderline-high." When he saw that, he was alarmed. Sam called the doctor for an appointment as soon as possible. His results had clearly scared him, but the doctor, a year before, had merely left a phone message saying his lab tests were in, and to call if he wanted to discuss them. My friend said there was no hint of the danger of the triglyceride level in my friend's blood. ********************* This is why I created MedeXplainr Pro! It tells you what your doctor might not tell you, and does it in a way that you can actually understand it. Please join us and try it out. MedeXplainr Pro's password, free through June 14, is "aihealthmay26". Just go directly on the web to MedeXplainr.com, enter the password, and copy/paste or drag your own test report into the window. You could be surprised and find something that should be attended to, like Sam did!

It’s crazy (and negligent) that Sam’s doctor didn’t let him know how dangerous that was. I hope he gets answers and help soon! Grateful your website brought this to light for him!

@Lynne Vella That must be very difficult to deal with. There’s nothing like personalized care if you can find it!
Got clarity on an injury!
I injured my foot seven months ago and doctors have only offered steroid shots or surgery. I’ve been looking for other alternatives and by using the MedeXplainr pro website, I now understand better what’s going on in my foot. By using the information it deciphered for me, I thought to try a chiropractor, and he pointed me to a doctor who may be able to treat my injury through less invasive means. I’m super excited and fingers crossed this will bring an actual cure! I want to be able to walk by July 4th for all the 250th celebrations!

Thanks @Dave Hughes! It was so helpful to discover through the “Pro” option something my doctor hadn’t gone over with me!

@Lynne Vella Absolutely! To discover something that might actually help me was very encouraging. I’ll report back after the new treatment this week!
