I got the lab results from the blood work my pcm ordered two weeks ago. I don't have HIV, Hepatitis, or a thyroid problem. I kinda knew all that already, but at least she was trying to help! I am going to request a copy of all the blood work I've had done here on base in the last year before I see teh RD at the end of the month because I'm honestly not sure what all they've checked for recently. I know my RF and ANA hasn't been checked in almost 2 years so I'm sure the RD will order those test as a minimum. And I know the more things we check off as knowing I definately don't have, will help narrow the list of what it could be!Congratulations on not thaving those diseases! I guess sometimes that's how a dx is made, by elimination. Keep you chin up, they'll get to the bottom of it. Sooner than later, I hope. I know it's frustrating though.sometimes knowing what you don't have is half the battleSometimes they do those tests just because they plan on putting you on meds that those diseases don't agree with- they want to know if you've ever been exposed. When I was getting dx'd I was really getting scared when I saw what I was tested for.Well... another good news on bloodwork!
