Re: IgA-Carla (I am back!)

[Guest guest]

Hi Carla,

Welcome back. I am so glad your move is behind you. Moving is just so much

work isn't it?

What a terrible ordeal for you to go through last night. I sure do hope and

pray your blood tests for RA and lupus come back negative.

The great news is that your kidney function tests came back so great. We can

hold onto that and count that as a big blessing.

Take care of yourself and I hope the pain is better tomorrow.

Hi Carla,

Good to hear from you. I'm sorry you have been in such dreadful pain.

You have me very curious as to what that test was. C3/C4 correspond sto

lupus - and that can take a while - but not 2-3 weeks. Could the doc have

been referring to ANA (antinuclear antibody)? Hopefully can shed some

light on tests for RA. In any event, this is so clearly something else that

you don't need. Here's hoping that the test was wrong.

I hope you feel better and the docs figure out what is causing the pain.
