tests again
Well today I recieved a letter from my endo. All the rheumatology related bloods he ran came back normal. My CRP (an inflammation marker) is still elevated which we already knew and I'm deficient in Iron so got to get supplement. He has sent me a blood request for Coeliacs testing now. This could be a possible as my father was diagnosed last year on the back of anaemia and scope. I know that arthritis is a fairly rare manifestation of coeliac so i'm guess ing this is also in his thoughts. Still this alone cannot cause all the symptoms. I still smell a rat in the form of acro and will await the most recent IGF test. If this still shows nothing then I 've decided I will write to an acro expert at Christies Hospital. He acccept 2nd opinon referrals from GP's but will seek his advice prior as my GP thinks i'm wrong. I know enough to realise that blood testing is a diagnostic tool and not always fully conclusive for some things. On a side note i'm struggling with my mobile phone keys now to text and spend ages having to correct. Just another thing that is bugging me lol. Missing my other half loads now as he is staying in the highlands with his mum til we get a house and I can move up too. Meeting with uni soon to decide what to do. Don't feel up to doing a clinical placement at the mo so more than likely going to defer for a bit. Everything is unknowns at the mo and although i'm no control freak I do like to know what's happening. How can you plan when you don't know what next week brings? Thanks for reading Moleyx
