1. I sent blood to VipDx to have blood drawn for CFS profile, cytokine, and XMRV.
2. I was contacted and told I needed to send blood again for the first two tests. They said someone had left the gate locked (because it was Nevada Day) and the delivery guy could not get onto the grounds, even though their lab was open for deliveries. They said they needed a fresh draw for CFS and cytokine, but not XMRV. They told me that XMRV is a DNA test and it didn't matter if that blood was late. So I sent more blood for only CFS and cytokine.
3. I was just notified that the XMRV test in inconclusive, and they want a fresh draw. I was told the reason they want a fresh draw is because my blood delivery had been delayed. Well, imagine that. So why didn't they just let me send it again the first time. I have to pay someone to drive me to the office to get blood drawn. I have to pay them to draw and mail it. I also just had the vein in my left arm get sclerosed from having needles stuck in it, and I'm very upset.
4. I'm going to forget about the XMRV test. I'm not sending any more blood. I'm thinking of quitting my doctor for screwing up my vein. Because all of this this is in addition to the nightmare of all the lazy doctors I've seen since I got CFS, and also the careless doctors who kept letting things fall through the cracks during my cancer treatment.
