new update:

NO hepatitis ... but, I have degenerative discs of arthritis in my back (I knew that my back hurt, but never told I had "arthritis")

next .. the 2nd set of blood tests came back: NO hepatitis ... but, anti-nucleur rheumatoid arthritis ... the doctor is working at finding a rheumatologist and setting up an appointment next week to my next steps ..

good thing that I'm a busy person with my hands ...

thanks for listening and your thoughts and prayers!!
