No, I just gave the vampires my blood yesterday for testing. They should call me tomorrow with the results, if not on Friday.

tkrik - are your spasms related to MS? How does the nitro help? I'll go look that up.

I have not gotten a clear answer on that one. It's one of those that the GI dr will say MS and the neuro will say GI. I do have a motility disorder with difficulty swallowing as well as other GI issues so who knows the real cause.

It is my understanding from the dr that nitro increases blood flow to the area which helps. My PCP also recommended taking a lorazepam (Ativan) as it will help relax the muscles. I've only had it happen once but the spasms lasted a good 48 hours. They did admit me to the hospital for observations and testing to make sure it was not cardiac related. All tests came back normal with the exception of some PVC's, which I've had for years.

Got the results - they're all NORMAL! There was one thing that showed I was probably a little anemic, but I don't eat much red meat or dark green veggies. That would also mean I can rule out Lupus and Cancer. I'm glad to see my B12 is higher then it was last time it was tested.

Here are the results with the range following. I'd love some feedback. I did look up some borderline things and it seems those are fine. My TSH could be a bit lower, but when the Endo tried to do that I ended up with anxiety.
