I'll keep the magnesium in mind, will probably ask the doc to check the levels first though, I have a hard enough time with high iron without adding another metal to the mix.

And my PCP called me back yesterday, wants to see me ASAP, which won't be until Friday, so no doubt she's having kittens over my sedimentation rate (38! Should be less than 20). But without the all important RF test that I was supposed to have drawn, it means nada. That is they can't say the reason for it, it only signifies that there is significant inflammation in my body. But hopefully now they'll draw the right labs, not lose them, and maybe by next week I might know if I have to see a rhuemy or switch DMDs. Either way I'm at least two weeks out from getting an answer I should have had two months ago
