Guest guest Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 - thanks for the info - I'm printing the report now - and I'm still taking it all in. I've talked to 's ENT about the Mayo report and he dismissed the idea. has been seen by an immunologist but I didn't see any value in continuing because her labs were fairly normal - but it looks like we may need to readdress.
