Cindy I've never been the expert with the blood test...I know someone here will surely know though.

As for the hands; my hands were the first...and probable the worst affected that first years. 12 years later and numerous treatements later my hands rarely if ever gives me problems now. I do wake up in the middle of the night with them hurting especially here lately considering I'm off my meds temp.

Once you've gotten on the proper treatment you'll manage much easier. Hang in there.
