Guest guest Posted March 1, 2001 Report Share Posted March 1, 2001 Hi Ladies, Dr. Ivan Goldsmith just called me back with my blood test results. My rheumatoid factor is still elevated. It is 58, compared to 117 and 159 in 1998. So, it has come down ALOT, but it is not yet back into the normal range. Guess I am still healing.....today is my 3 year anniversary for removing my implants. Hurray. Likewise, I still have a lowered C3 complement. He is going to get with a rheumatologist to see what they have to say about it. I know what I have to say about it! I am not very happy! I would have loved to have totally normal blood work. I have no idea what a lowered C3 complement means, but I will find out. All other blood work was fine, as was my urinalysis. He kept asking me if my joints hurt, my hands, my knees. But, the fact is that I have no joint pain, and I have not had much at all in the last 3 years to speak of. What little joint pain I did have, I got rid of in less than 3 days of fasting, and I have not been bothered with it at all. I have actually been feeling really good lately, with no brain fog since I added more supplements. The folic acid, the molybdenum, and ergoloid mesylates, as well as all the herbs I am taking (fennel, fenugreek, wild yam, saw palmetto, ginseng, ginkgo biloba and milk thistle.) So, I am still without any kind of diagnosis, only abnormal test results. Still on square one, as far as the medical "experts" go. Dr. Goldsmith will schedule a renal ultrasound next week. I'll keep doing my alternative remedies. That's it for now..... Patty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Hi Doug, Those are good numbers overall. I note that the cholesterol is dangerously low. Has your physician expressed any concern about this? All things are possible, some are more possible than others. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 Hi Doug and All, Cholesterol 127 Triglycerides 62 HDL Cholesterol 49 LDL Cholesterol 66 Chol/HDL ratio 2.6 does not strike me as low at all. The only condition not due to pre-existing disease I noticed that may be an association of low cholesterol with mental illness. Cheers, Al. Al Pater > Hi Doug, > Those are good numbers overall.
