@NHE Sorry, I haven't been around for a while. I've been dealing with all this craziness. Yes, I had to fast for the bloodwork. A lot has happened since my last post. I went to an ENT who thought I might have Vestibular Migraines and Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo. I then went to a neurologist...

I don't know how I missed this, but it looks like my bun/creatinine was high: 25 and my glucose was high: 126 mg/dl. The bun/creatinine has been high before and they just tell me I am dehydrated. I don't drink a lot of water, but I drink diet dr pepper ALL day long, so don't know how I could be dehy...

@jimmylegs Well, low and behold I just got my bloodwork results and my magnesium is high (just a little over normal). 2.4 MG/DL. I guess I need to quit taking that supplement all together. I haven't gotten a call from the dr. yet, but will let you know what she says. I am still waiting on the ultras...

That is a lot of info, Jimmy. I read it all, but want to go back and check on each thing individually. I appreciate you taking the time to write all that. I just call a call from the neurologist, so I got an appointment for October 27th, so hopefully more progress will be made.

Scott, yes it's a nurse practitioner which is a step above a nurse, but in this case she doesn't know her a** from a hole in the ground. LOL

Jimmy, I forgot to mention that when I went to the dr Monday, the ARNP told me that Labcorp forgot to take some bloodwork that was ordered and I asked if she could do magnesium. She said that was kind of weird, but she ordered it and I had it done today. I couldn't remember the other one you asked a...

Hey, all! I went to the dr. Monday, but had to see the ARNP. I don't really like her, but just wanted some relief with my ears and other symptoms until I got to the ENT today. I told her about the possibility of MS even though MRI is clear and she immediately said you don't fit the age range. Then s...

Hi, Jimmy! I am still using the vitamins that I had. I planned to order what you recommended, but with missing 4 days of work without pay and having appt's that I also will have to take off for, I am a little worried about money. I will try to get the other vitamins within the next month. The only t...

Everything you say is true. I think when she scheduled the bloodwork, she included the cholesterol because it's always high and she just threw that in there with all the other tests, not because of the symptoms I was having. I tried changing dr's once because she wouldn't prescribe pain medicine whe...

So much has happened, I guess it's hard to keep track of what happened when. August 15th is when the fatigue/sleepiness started. I did a telemed appt. with my dr., but wasn't convinced it was covid, so I declined to test. That's when I told her I wanted to be re-evaluate the possibility of MS which ...

When I first had the hearing loss, my doctor referred me to an ENT (I called and told the nurse what was going on, they spoke with the dr. then called me back and said they would refer me) so I haven't physically been in the office since that happened or any of the other stuff since then. I was kind...

Hi, all! Another interesting week. I had my ultrasound for my liver scheduled for this past Wednesday. I woke up about 45 minutes before the alarm to go to the bathroom and was freezing. Turned off the ceiling fans, but started having chills. Took my temperature and it was 100.8. The chills worsened...

Thanks for the info. I will buy what you recommended. Usually my weekends are all housework, meal prep and getting things ready for the week ahead. I have done nothing this weekend which makes me feel guilty. It's just me and my dog here, but I like things clean and I am OCD, so it drives me nuts no...

I did look at the link you sent, but haven't purchased any yet, but I will. I've had some unexpected expenses this month and dealing with all this new stuff going on is depressing. From what I've read, it takes years and years for some people to be diagnosed with MS and others never get a diagnosis,...

Thank you, Jimmy (and everyone else that has posted to help me). I have read everything that you have suggested with the exception of your last post and I will read that shortly. When all this started, I wasn't even drinking much and I even quit smoking since then (although I do still vape). I don't...
