Hi Glenn:

I just emailed you with the complete blood work. What I am going to post on this thread are the results that kicked out in the abnormal range.

So if anyone has a clue what is going on in this guy's body, I'd welcome any comments. His feet are killing him. He didn't have an emg test yet. But he just got some new blood work done. Here are the ones that kicked in the abnormal range.

Oh, my friend wrote me the following about his blood tests:

-----------------------------------------------------------------

A-- looks like this is NOT in any way related to rheumatologic condition. I had specialist run tests especially for lupus and sjogren's syndrome - previously very specific test was negative for straight rheumatoid arthritis.
B-- testing out of range in many other categories related to general complete blood count and urine test. you can see the asterisk and comments in bold print. do not want to worry too much. MAIN CONCERNS are the way out of line 1-WBC and 2-RBC in urine. in blood the results not that out of line.
C-- Also- 3- calcium level concerns me as out of range and it can explain bone pain in the feet. my research shows high calcium is a parathyroid problem. one of your friends commented on getting my calcium re checked.


Doctors assistant called and just said to take Vitamin D and come back in 2 weeks for new urine test. says new blood test not needed.

**RBC - 11-30 Range: 0 - 3 - /hpf Flag: A- I THINK BIG ISSUE- WAY OFF- NO SYMPTOMS OF URINARY TRACT INFECTION FOR ME.

WBC - 10.0 Range: 3.4-10.8 - x10E3/uL- NORMAL BUT GETTING HIGHER. 6 MONTHS AGO ONLY 8.8

RBC - 5.87 Range: 4.14-5.80 - x10E6/uL Flag: H- 6 MONTHS AGO WAS 5.7 SO WENT UP
