Thank you guys for answering! I'll be sure to read your links first thing when I wake up.

For those of you following, my symptoms that I mainly struggle with (eye sight blurring or darkening for short spans, tingling in extremities, numbness in extremities, loss of hand coordination [ie: dropping things, random spastic movements], falling a LOT more than normal even when no symptoms migh...

Thank you both! That at least gets me a little bit more educated on this stuff. I plan on going to a different doctor and having the tests re-run (since if I went to the same place, I probably wouldn't even get the results until months after the fact like this time) and seeing if the numbers are the...

I finally got some blood test information back that was taken in March.. yes, March; and they're just now letting me know the results :evil: Anyway, their main concerns were my Sed rate (32) and my C Reactive Protein level (27.7). Can anyone explain what these mean? What are the "normal" l...

Maybe two to four slices in a two week period; my husband is the bread eater in the family. :lol: The sausage is ...

Thank you so much for your replies! I will definitely mention the tests to my doctor for the next follow-up visit. He's being pretty thorough and I appreciate that. It's hard to find someone passionate about finding a diagnosis like this, especially in our little rural area. Most doctors around here...

I will. Thank you.

I'd like to add, they did a lupus blood workup and those tests came back normal. I did have a urinalysis done and my uric acid is through the roof and I have entirely too much protein in my urine. These two things along with bouts of high blood pressure have them concerned that I may have kidney iss...

Hello. I'm going to try and make this as detailed, yet on pointe as I can so I'm not bombarding you with information. I just need to get a few questions answered and I'd also like some suggestions or a list of things that I should tell my doctor about. I'm just starting this journey, so bear with me...
