Finally….
thryoid bloodwork:normal(yet I still have an enlarged thyroid)
ANA: positive but doesnt mean much by itself(could just be supportive evidence of Hashimotos which we already know I have)
lyme titer: negative – that’s good!
rheumatoid factor:Â negativeI(also good)
there was another lab results I that I cant recall that was abnormal but by itself means nothing.  so….usually to diagnose certain conditions you have to have a positive ANA and positive rheumatoid factor or other abnormal results. She said my results arent conclusive, which just means we havent gotten very far.  But…my heart is fine!! The test showed I have a low ejection fraction rate but she said that might just mean I’m out of shape. nothing to really “stress” about!
I have the MRI report sitting here but my neurologist hasnt called me, guessing he’s waiting til my appt, which isnt for 2 weeks!! so I told my reg. dr I had the results since they wont fax them to her since she didnt order the test, so I’m faxing her a copy of the report tomorrow and she’s going to call me after she reads it.  I’m guessing they’ll order another test or two based on what I read from the report and googled about it!  not to mention the report clearly states if pateints symptoms persist, to do another mri w/ contrast since part of the MRI was w/out contrast, which is frustrating as they did an MRA that day w/ and w/out contrast so we could have saved time and money just doing the MRI that way too.  as well as the other report(they did 4 tests) said something about needing to do another test for something else but I’ll wait to see what she says about it. so nothing major yet, I’m guessing I’ll know a lot more after talking to her tomorrow about the MRI report.  All I know is that so far I’m not too upset about any of it.  Kind of frustrated but we knew that no matter what the results showed it wasnt going to be easy and that the chance of things not being clear yet were still pretty high.  she once again reminded me that she is going to do her best to get to the bottom of this and help me get answers.
