Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 Hi everyone, Got more lab work back this week. I am anemic just slightly, and am to take iron for that. TSH (thyroid stimulating hormone) is 2.1. Norms 0.3-4.8UIU/ML. Mycoplasma pneumoiea IGG AB - of 773(0-200U/ml is reference norms, baseline only)Values above 200 may indicate a recent infection with MycoplasmaP and need to be confirmed either by a positive IgM result and / or an additional specimen drawn 2-4 weeks later showing a significant increase in antibodies level. 340U/ml is positive Igm. Mine is 773 Thyroid per Ab is 741 which is very high , normal being below 35 meaning I have been building antibodies against my thyroid, and although labs show my thyroid is still functioning, the RA says we will watch, it may , or probably will show abnormal later, as I understand it.( Probably explains brittle falling out hair . C3 compliment is 79 which is low norms being 85-200. Not sure what this means but has something to do with thyroid. I will research and get back to you on it.HCT low also. I am starting on minocin 100mg. 2times daily. for at least 6 months. The herxheimer effect (increased symptoms) will hopefully be avoided by starting on 50 mg daily and building up to 200mg daily. I will write more tomorrow as I am off tomorrow from work. I hope to answer all of your questions too at that time. XOXOXO to all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
