Sorry I've been away a few days....really wanted to answer everyone and will do so as soon as I can.
Had my 2nd massage (1st one in Oct 2016).....Wednesday and it knocked me to my knees ! Ouch !!  and Ouch again !!
But I woke up this morning thinking I might live so here I am 
Last time (after the pain from massage stopped) I had a really good two months with my neck and shoulder muscles before they started knotting up again.
Ok.....don't think I've had the IgG and subclasses done unless it was when this was first dx'd 4 years ago.
Here's what my Doctor said on the lab report:
Autoimmune labs are normal. No signs of autoimmune disease
CRP (inflammatory marker) is improving
No protein in the urine
No signs of parathyroid disease
The tests she ran for this were:
PTH-Intact
C-Reactive Protein .......(5.7 high....normal range 0.0 - 4.9)
Ur Creatinine
Ur Microalbumin
Ur Nicroalbumin Creatinine Ratio
ANA.......................... (Negative)
Rheum Fact Interp ......(9.0 normal......normal range 0.0 - 13.9)
Didn't give the PTH or UR results here...all were normal.
Should I ask for the IgG tests to be done in your opinion ?
I'd sure like to know if I have anything else going on.
Thanks and I won't make this one any longer than it already is !
