Hello everyone. Yesterday I received some blood tests ordered by an immunologist doctor. I would like you guys to help my find some underlying abnormality, because I'm pretty sure the doctor will give some generic explanation like "You have low vitamin D. There's the culprit!" when I show her the results. Here's what I've got so far:
** The same test was done one year ago, and the result was also HIGH.
*** The same test was done one year ago, and the result was HIGH.
As you can see, most of my results are well within range, so I'm pretty sure the doctor will blame the low Vitamin D levels (although nowadays most people have low levels of Vitamin D due to lack of sunbaths). And let's be fair, it's not as if my Vitamin D levels have dropped all of a sudden with no reason, and I started having these symptoms...
Any thoughts? I also had a few different tests a couple of months ago (ESR, rheumathoid factor, AST, ALT, C-reactive protein), everything within range. So, I'm totally lost here. I'm tired of being told by doctors that symptoms are "all in my head"...
