I'm wondering if it is Fibro as well. I got a copy of my blood tests to take with me to the rheumy's on Friday, and finally got a look at exactly what he tested me for:
blood count stuff - normal metabolic rate panel - normal (which means my dad can shut up about my diet and saying that I'm not getting enough nutrition!) lyme disease - negative rheumatoid arthritis factor - normal red blood cell sedimentation (if too fast, indicates infection or inflammation) - normal TSH (thyroid hormone) - smack in the middle of normal range creatine kinase (indicates muscle damage if elevated) - normal
Just spent a bunch of time looking up those tests, and I'm happy that they all turned out normal, but it is making me think Ihave fibro more and more. Not to mention my not being able to concentrate on my work at all lately, but I was just blaming it on being in pain and fatigued
I'll keep y'all updated!
