Lately I'm getting afraid to get new lab tests to check how I'm doing. In recent years it seems like my entire body is falling apart, one system at a time.
My latest test numbers relating to my immune system just keep getting worse. I wanted to share these lab results here, so maybe someone with more knowledge in these matters can explain what's happening to me. The samples were taken two weeks ago, I just got the numbers today:
As usual, EBV and HHV6 levels are off the roof.
IgG, Subclasses(1-4)
What's the meaning of having such a very high Human Trans. Growth Factor beta 1? What is happening to me? What now?
So sick of being sick, frankly.
