c/bloodwork rules
  1. Post reference ranges with your numbers. Units differ by country and lab.
  2. Nobody here can tell you what a result means for you. We can tell you what it usually means.
  3. Redact identifying details from lab PDFs before posting.
  4. Independent community. Nobody here sells anything, and anyone who tries is banned.
  5. Not medical advice. Describe what you did; never prescribe to a stranger.
  6. Claims need evidence. Batch numbers, dated screenshots, independent test reports, or a citation.
  7. No referral links, discount codes or affiliate URLs. Permanent ban, no appeal.
  8. No contact handles, wallet addresses or tracking numbers — they identify people.
  9. Be recognisably decent. Disagree hard, insult nobody.
