[QUOTE="badger nadgers, post: 9224964, member: 19244"] Sorry to hear that. I had the same thing happen a couple of years ago. Felt like I'd let the team down., had to have a couple of months off too. I bought one of those Easylife finger pr*ck monitors that can check iron, cholesterol, or glucose depending on what strip you put in them. There's a certain degree of variation on those if you do a series of them (especially in lower temperatures), much like if you do blood pressure readings in a row. Not sure if it's device, technique, something else of a combination of factors. £50 ish was reasonable for something that got me to look at my health a little closer. Whilst the blood screening could do 3 tests in the machine it would be at three times the cost, and there has to be a line. There's not much you can do. Eat lots of steak and brocolli, drink lots of fluids, keep warm, avoid coffee, daily tablet with iron in.... You'll be back in due course, and they will be glad to see you. [/QUOTE]
