Thanks blu I do agree with you. The unfortunate thing is that a secretary attempted to read the labs to me. I personally haven't seen them. Thank fully they were faxed to the first doc here that did a Western blot on me and when the Health Dept called and asked who was treating me as positive he said I needed no further treatment. Confusing further to me is that this girl said ANA now in normal range? And CBC and Chem 7 normal and rheumatoid factor. It's funny as a medicaire patient I can refer myself to a doc but not order tests or meds. Hey that site you told me about is no longer there. Think the library has that book? Also is there a way to bypass docs and order own labs? I've known from the beginning that I wasn't this person. Beginning yes happened in NC but it happened at the exact same time the hasimotos diagnosed. Prior by a week some flu like illness couldn't expand without pain my chest to breath. I thought that was my thyroid dying so to speak. But for two days took to the couch and then the anxiety hit full force. Did see an MD who said I didn't need antibiotics as lungs sounded fine. Then from the high anxiety a few days later another internist tested thyroid and put me on thyroid synthroid and on day l0 at work it was like the world opened up again and anxiety went down. Was fine for about three months then vertigo at night where crawled to bathroom. ER in am and a shot of ativan 2mg and antivert. And from that point on no energy to even move. The pdoc gave me lopressor 25mg for three weeks as no inderal cause of thyroid to help with the extraordinary anxiety and then paxil l0mg first ad with xanax. Lay in a hammock for three months did manage to run two miles daily with sheer will power. And drank beer at night felt better with it. Then after taking the full short term disability returned to nursing feeling well. Then about two years later my Son came to live with us and anxiety higher as building a house, driving him around, and working out, and working full time. Bingo hospital and disability. The rest is history. I'm seriously glad you responded to this. Now how to get further testing if those results are what was given via phone as know this rheumatoid osteo doc won't. The lyme's doc that went to trial here for lymes is now out of NC and in South Carolina some where. Jenkins or something like that not good with names. Thanks Jan
