One concrete data point for the thread. Worth stating the units and the reference range whenever you post a number here. A large fraction of the apparent disagreement in these threads is two people using different units and both being right.

One thing that is still open after traveltech_sara’s answer:

Did your prescriber agree with that reading, and if not what was their objection?

Moderator note: good thread. Keeping it here rather than moving it, because the question is general enough to be useful. No action needed from anybody.

Agreed, and the size of the effect matters as much as its existence. Something real and small gets treated here as though it were real and decisive.

Ask again with the specifics and you will get a better answer than this one.

This answered a question I did not know how to ask. Sending this to two other people who asked me the same thing last week.
