Oh my gosh! That seems like a LOT! I think I may have passed out. Yay for DH and McD's, though!
oh the typical MTHFR, lupus, TSH, factor V, and a ton of other gene and clotting ones..the lady said that alot of the tests required 3 tubes each...it really wasn't bad(the girl was great and quick), my arm is just a little sore now..no biggie
My clotting panel alone was like 9 tubes, then 3 for thyroid, then the Blood glucose. . . I can't remember what else. I just remember saying at one point "Do you estimate about $100 pertube?" and the tech laughing and saying "Don't worry, we'll make sure it's covered."
I hope you get some answers. And recover from the blood loss soon. I know when I was tested for clotting disorders they took a TON of blood. Turns out I have a factor II or prothrombin gene mutation.
Glad dh got you breakfast after that. I forget how many mine was but I went for breakfast after mine since I was fasting overnight and then was made to wait because they were running late.
