So ok, after getting my labs and everything, I noticed that some other levels were off with the CBC labs she ordered so I called the office, they called me back and informed me that these tests show the function of the liver and kidneys, she said they were normal the last time they took them (she didn't tell me the time frame so I have no idea how long ago that was) well they aren't ordering new labs until June, she said that if they are still out of range I will have to go see another doctor to get tested for cancer or liver/kidney damage. I somehow ran across another group on here about autoimmunes and there were so many people with Hashimotos that were starting to develop other autoimmunes and having to take other meds for those. Is this what this comes down to? Is hashimotos just the start of something way bigger? I can't seem to find the same forum that I stumbled onto so I can't go back to ask them questions. Most of them kept mentioning MG, Is there scans we can do to help prevent our brains from going haywire? It sounds like alot of these are happening from our brains and cause muscles to not work properly, is there anyway to prevent this? I asked my doctors MA if it could possibly be from my elavil, she said she couldn't say, she said the only thing we can do is wait for my next labs and then I can call my GI and ask him about the elavil, but I would still need to see another specialist to rule anything else out.
Is this what everyone goes through. It just seems like a huge epidemic of weird diseases being discovered and people developing them out of no where. Has anyone seen or experienced this.
I won't lie, the first two days I broke down and cried, but now I'm in fightine mode and am doing better. There is a slight chance it could be an infection and that is only if my levels go back to normal, but they are pretty far out of range, so we aren't sure if it is.
