RE: Support and lab values

[Guest guest]

Thank you all for your support!!!! I don't have my computer hooked

up yet, so I really haven't been there for anyone lately and I'm

sorry and apologize for that! You all know how much I use to post.

I will make it up to all of you, I promise! Shirley is my rock, that

is for sure. I get on her computer in a panic during all this to

post help notes. I'm so confused at this point. I have waited so

long for anything and now that the answers are coming, I am a bit

bewildered. Here is what I have thus far,

DNA AB (DS) <30

NEG: <30

LOW POS: 30-60

POS: 61-200

STRONG POS: >200

SM AB NEGATIVE

NEGATIVE: <=1.00

POSITIVE: >=1.00

SM/RNP AB NEGATIVE

NEGATIVE: <=1.00

POSITIVE: >=1.00

SJOGRENS'S SSA NEGATIVE

NEGATIVE: <=1.00

POSITIVE: >=1.00

SJOGREN'S SSB POSITIVE 1,11

NEGATIVE: <=1.00

POSITIVE: >=1.00

CENTREMERE AB TITER NEGATIVE/NEGATIVE

ANA, EIA W/RFX IFA NEGATIVE/NEGATIVE

HEPATITIS A,B & C

HEP B S AB REACTIVE B/NON-REACTIVE

HEP B S AB QUANT 61 >=10 MIU/ML

HEP B S AG W/REFLEX NON-REACTIVE/NON-REACTIVE

HEP A AB, TOTAL W/REFLEX NON-REACTIVE/NON-REACTIVE

SED RATE 10 mm/hr 0-20

CPK 95 IU/L 30-223

C-REACTIVE PROTEIN <0.5 mg/dl 0-1.0

RA TITER 1:80 mg/L -

HEMOGLOBIN ATC 5.00 4.4 -6.4

Do not know which test is the LYME or if they are still waiting? I

had the HEP B series years ago and that is what is reflected. Above

the values for normal is posted by the lab next to the result IE:

SED RATE is @ 10 with 0-20 being normal etc... I am really

confused? I still haven't got a biopsy of my rashes yet. I'm glad

that they are getting somewhere and that I'm not crazy but, I really

didn't want anything - you all know what I mean. You've been there

and now I'm here. I don't think that I could of made it this far

without all of you. I thank you for that! I love my family! Anyhow,

that is what I know so far. I did go to the eye specialist

yesterday and I'm good thus far! He did not run any of the

Sjogren's tests however. or a....can (do you know)

Sjogren's alone do cartilage, tendon, muscle, or joint damage?

Thank you all so much and I hope that today is a good day for each

of you! God Bless and take care! XXX's Kim

Kim, I can tell you about this test, the Hemoglobin A1C, rather than

ATC. This is a test that shows how your blood sugar has been over the

last three months. Yours is very good, indicating that you do not have

diabetes. I do have diabetes, but I try to keep mine as low as I can.

My last two were 5.1 and 5.3. Sue
